2016 Audi RS3

[Silent_Scone]

I need to pass by 911 Sport in Lincoln at some point as they didn't stamp a couple of the services on mine lol.

 

[Waitey]

Car serviced. Inspection, Oil Change and spark plugs for £295 a full £280 less than Audi wanted initially.

But I need a tyre on the front due to sidewall damage, luckily I have a 235/35/19 P Zero kicking around so I'll get that on and its good to go.

And......

It need four new magnetic dampers, after me saying they weren't right from the off, they have finally agreed with me. Wooo!

 

[Craig]

That's good the mate a hell of alot cheaper. Lol I would hate to think how much they would cost

What was wrong with the dampers? Did you get the rear brakes sorted also?

I was told the rear brakes are fine. I guess they work like a Clio Cups. As in they do sod all.

Dampers are leaking. TBH they don't ride very well, the Mag Dampers I had on the F type were miles better.

Thank god for warranties.

All of the gizmos that are being fitted to modern performance cars are rather nice but sod owning one when it's got a few years and several thousand miles under its belt. A lot of these types of car could become an expensive used proposition in the future!

Sounds like a bit of a shed... :wink:

It has been compared to my F type and 335d.

 

[Waitey]

Although to be fair to it, it has done 18000 miles in 8 months.

Probably, fronts do most of the work. Only managed 4k out of my pads

Because the really clever metal in the oil f***s with the dampers' rubber seals...? Been there, done that.

 

[Waitey]

Currently sat waiting while it has a tyre fitted and 4 dampers fitted.

They seemed really pissed of that I appeared with a worn tyre to fit lol. I want a 5.5mm one to match the other 5.5mm one on the front that they wanted to bin...

 

[Waitey]

Passed 20k miles now in 9 months.

Still going strong after its first service and all new dampers.

Its not giving over 40mpg too, which probably means its broken. Its the quickest its ever been too.

Still have 4mm on the rear tyres after 20k too!

 

[matty w]

Got a major hankering for one of these just need the prices to drop a bit more. Preferably a sepang blue or Daytona grey with all the black bits

The new saloon version has attracted my interest... 400hp out of the box!

 

[Ian_182]

Is that the little one that looks like a mini A4.?

Isn't that the club sport concept from a few years back? Definitely not the production RS3.

 

[Waitey]

The production one isn't as cool sadly. Gets the new 400bhp unit though. Saying that mine was 398bhp out of the box!

I'll be glad when the manufacturers move on again with wheel design as I can't stand these diamond cut monstrosities.

Your car is in a different league fella.

 

[Dafydd]

You got this thing up on bricks at night to do those kind of miles? I'd struggle to do that in 3 years on a brand new transporter for work! Good effort

 

[Ian_182]

That looks mint if im honest.
