5:40 The RS6 also came with orange as an optional color. You barely see them, thus far I've only seen one factory orange RS6 but they do exist

Is there a history of the Pre Sense emergency braking system activating unnecessarily? My VW Tiguan has done it over a dozen times in 18 months.
@FontainMotorsLtd2 ай бұрын
When was it last calibrated? If the answer is "never" or "not sure" then 4 wheel alignment followed by ADAS calibration is a good plan. The system isn't infallible but shouldn't be getting caught out all the time.

Can this be a good daily and if so, would it alleviate some of the issues that arise when the car is not being driven frequently? I'm in the market for one and this would be helpful to know your opinion.
@FontainMotorsLtd4 ай бұрын
Whilst these will never be cheap cars to run, regular use and good maintenance will be way, way better for the car than sitting around for extended periods. Very low mileage or lightly used cars can sometimes be troublesome when returned to daily service as you shake out everything that has been neglected over the years. Cars are for driving :)

Nice video. Simple yet informative and straightforward. Just a comment on the water pump or thermostat housing, the housing itself leaking is in fact a common enough issue with this 2.0 TSI. But you're right in terms of the pump or thermostat itself being reliable. Just wanted to share this. I have an S3 (8V) from 2020 and really enjoying it.

You didn't cover the engines which always seemed to have some sort of problem
@FontainMotorsLtd8 ай бұрын
Hi Jerry, what is it you'd like to know about the engines? They're generally good, but you have to remember they're old cars now. Components of any older vehicle (particularly a performance car) will begin to suffer the affects of age and simple wear.

@bst8579 ай бұрын
It irks me that these don't come with adaptive cruise control as standard. Maybe that sounds stupid, but the RS3 is meant to be a "do it all" car, a super practical pocket rocket. Adaptive cruise IMO is a big part of that - its a big deal that you can drive for hundreds of miles with ease. Something that even fairly basic VW Golfs have as standard. It's totally dumb. The worst thing is, a lot of people don't spec it, because its fairly expensive, and I can imagine that a very large percentage of people even these days don't really know what it is, or don't care because they'll never use it. My dad has had it on his last two cars and never once dared to try it. I really hate Audi for this kind of thing. There are other worse examples, like how the TT mk3 didn't come with climate control as standard (or even sat nav). So basically it just means that the used market has loads of "meh" cars that only exist because Audi are dicks with their standard equipment. I'd much rather Audi charged more for their cars and included all the tech. Things like not having climate control is just plain ridiculous, and even now, not having adaptive cruise really dates a car IMO (to those who actually use it), especially when the car is meant to be high end.
