Right old PC was some Zoostorm thing. Running off a one month old SSD.
New one is a little cheap lenovo.
After a brief test this morning I think it is booting, but I don't have the drivers for the display card, ergo the black screen. I'll see if I can find the drivers for the Lenovo's card...
Hi all,
I've got a Windows 7 machine with some business critical programs on it which needs to stay Windows 7. It's motherboard and a few other things are dead.
So I've bought a new pc to let it live again, but it won't boot the original PC's hdd.
I've adjusted the boot setting the in bios...
APR don't have a kit for the RS3 that would give 100bhp, their RS3 map has been giving 30bhp. The S3 one gives nearly 90bhp though!
TBF the only thing that did break on mine was the fuel pressure reg. Not the end of the world. If I'd have plugged it in myself it'd have been a £60 fix. It's...
Tbh it was recovered twice, since I was on a bypass the police had to be called to assist, then an Audi tech van came out.
Then its had, fuel pump, pressure reg and fuel rail all fitted. Along with the Rennsport techs coming over to look at it.
Good job for warranty's!
Fuel pressure regulator.
New modified part its self was cheap but they also changed my fuel pump and fuel rail as a precaution.
With the recovery, police assistance and parts and labour, the total bill was around £2800.
Issue is the price differential between the standard car and the GP. Its already at 3.5:1 for a JCW vs GP.
Thats the same kind of ratio between an M3 CS vs CSL. The CSL is far more special though.
Yeah I paid £11500 for it with the other racaros. Sold the car with out the racaros for £12000 and the recaros for £1750.
So £2250 net profit but I had it serviced for £250 so £2000 overall. Not bad considering I had 4000 awesome miles in it.
Sold this today.
A 50 year old woman bought it to add to her Mini collection. She came in an Awesome JCW which was also for sale!
I got £2000 more than it owed me. Top little investment.
There will be MY15 launch cars with higher mileage. Mine will probably be the highest mileage MY16 car at a guess. Its done 600 miles a week since collection.
LOL ok,
Just to make you aware Mr Waite, the ECU in the car records and stores all peak parameters, so we can diagnose the root of issues which are deemed unusual. Your car indicated to us that the launch control function has being activated 32 times, while an activation doesn't indicate a...
Call from York Audi:
Fuel rail and fuel pressure reg are both faulty. New parts coming from Germany along with some engineers from RennSport/Audi to try and work out what happened.
Turns out my RS3 is one of the highest mileage 2016 customers cars out there.
They were also surprised at my...
Slightly deeper and louder. Few more crackles on un shifts. Really goes loud after 4krpm too.
Still deciding if it and the magnetic dampers were worth £995 more though!
Annoying in sport mode mine (with the Audi sports exhaust fitted) doesn't sounds much better than the standard car.
Goes to show how good the standard exhaust is!
We'll its been collected to go to Audi proper to be fixed.
Some of the highlights:
We'll see, I'm not sure the pump is totally dead as I got it started again when it was picked up the second time. It was cutting out on boost. So I can only assume its only working on low duty. Hopefully it'll...
Audi so far are being brilliant about this. I've been assigned my own representative with a direct number. She's currently trying to find me a replacement RS3 for a loan car.
I doubt she'll find one but its nice that they are putting the effort in!
