As Greg said, a lot of the regulars moved on to other brands (Audi, Merc etc).

I was a bit of a stirrer in the past but posted up a few helpful bits now and then. I keep in touch with some of the...

Getting supplies

25600

Added 1,000 km today and 200 km on dirt roads going through the hinterland - car performed great and handled mud, small streams and gravel without issue.

RC much better than my R and much more...

Interesting feedback on opening the flaps

I disconnected them but reconnected them as I didn't like the sound.

I'm an old bastard though :)

Yep, mine is in Individual half the time (Steering on auto, suspension on auto, engine and DSG and sound in Dynamic)

The other half of the time in Sport manual with Individual mode.

High rev...

I don't use Comfort mode really - always in auto for suspension.

Will try it this week.

I had the screws drop out from the undertray a few times but sorted that myself using silicon under the...

The noise (s) from the old mounts and shocks isn't that bad and after a few hundred km's it becomes part of the car.

I was getting the trim sorted so thought while I was taking the time to drive...

Lost in translation ???

There is a TPI out but Audi instruct only to fit if customer identifies with dealer there is an issue

The rims not only look great but are unique and that adds to the car.

We are lucky up here in that we have only seen one other S3 on the road - not many around. Pretty common in Brisbane however,...

Rims look stunning !!!

Love them

Re the gloss trim, yes, could almost see a screwdriver mark. ACB did it for free and did a great job. Caused three or four stress cracks full length of the trim...

Would love to see the new rims !

Audi Centre Brisbane did a great job of replacing that stress cracked gloss black trim

We suspect it was someone trying to break in

We also have the paint...

It's still brand new Adam :)

I've picked up a few stone chips and other usual stuff that night trips seem to cause but I look past those these days.

Wife surprised me the other day when I was...

Clicked over 12,000 km today

Had the rear shocks replaced under warranty recall (thudding over speed bumps) and car is handling and driving better as a result

Apart from that the car has been...

Tucked up safely in an empty carpark while I go get some groceries.

Only 3,800 km ?

Wow.

How did the first service go Adam ?

7,000 km done and thoughts haven't changed.

Great car and likely to keep it for some time.

Noticeable improvement in power delivery and fuel economy which is interesting.

GLWS.

Hold out for the right buyer if you can.

This would be one of the best examples of the MKVI R around.

Three months in and around 4,000 km.

Few minor items.

Missing torx screws from plastic sumpguard. Common issue it seems after talking to the service dept and other owners. Got a set of 8...

Will check Adam. Thanks

Edit - assume you mean when cold. Maybe the Contis at fault as well

Edit 2 - just checked them cold. They were 1 psi below recommended for light load (checked with the...

Just clicked over 3,000 km and car is still problem free.

I don't think it enjoys being pushed too hard into corners at speeds (8/10ths driving) but I'm aware of it's shortcomings and I don't...

Well at least they did mine over the phone. :)

A warning for sellers, make sure VW have released PPSR on the vehicle !

We paid it off years ago but VW had never closed the PPSR

SOLD. Gone to a good home

Loving this car. 1,000 km done and very impressed

No hesitation off the mark, no waste gate rattle, no pogoing over speed bumps.

Finally got the media setup with my fav DVDA in the DVD player,...
