Well explained. It's a pity they don't provide the service you'd expect when you get an RS model.

[@nqobilemahlaba2230]

It's a shame when manufacturers come up with such excuses for their mistakes because they don't want to spend their money. My brother stay strong because you have such an amazing car it's a pity such small details can raise uncomfortable doubt in the back of ours minds. This video should really trend😊.

[@CCC-DID]

You do have a valid point. My windshield developed a crack in the first month of ownership.

[@rsfez09]

Agree on the windscreen, mine chiped very easily. Heard a few people mention this. Unfortunately Audi have really cut corners on the 8Y. The 8V was much better built just lacked the 8Y driving dynamics.

[@speeddemon311]

Still have my M340i xdrive, but I just got my 24 RS3 not long ago, and it turned out to be my favorite car ever by a long shot!

[@MyMusiKfaVorite]

Which one do you prefer more? I thought about getting m340ix but ended up with rs3

[@kingmusa8618]

@@MyMusiKfaVoriteI drove both choose m340 rs3 handles a lil better but something abt it isn’t as fun it’s more tame to me slightly faster tho

[@KniKnaKnorke]

Im driving a rs3 8y myself. I have no problems at all. My tt(2017) got more problems in the first year than my rs3. But I owned my rs3 for 12 months only. I got 36 months left. But my Audi dealer is really forward to problem soliving in case of guarantee problem.

[@Ramzes945]

I would recommend you to put a special PPF for a windshield in order to avoid cracking

[@DinoDrives]

Yes sirr once I get this one replaced I will get the entire car PPFD :D On the to do list, but rather expensive

[@nickhansen7735]

You have to put ppf on the windshield

[@gerrit79bieman77]

Help the headlight a little bit 😂

[@ccmiata]

I agree with you that the windshield is quite easily chipped. I have 20k miles on my 2022 RS3 and I have quite a bit of chips on the windshield but none of them are expanding. I purchased the wheel and tire warranty which dealer will replace the windshield for free but I haven't gone in to replace it yet. The reason I haven't gone in for windshield replacement is because I have tinted the windshield header which I have to re-tint the header if I want to keep the same look. I have replaced the tires 3 times already so the wheel and tire warranty is quite worth it

[@CCC-DID]

…Wait🤚👀 I have the wheel and tire pkg warranty. Are you telling me that it covers the windshield as well? My chip never expanded, probably because I had Safelite perform a procedure to minimize it.

[@ccmiata]

In US, if u get the ultimate, I think it’s called multi-coverage, u get windshield protection as well as dent protection. Dent protection is pretty useless if u read the fine print

[@LuckieStripes]

How have you replaced the tires 3 times… with only 20k miles!?😅

[@ccmiata]

@@LuckieStripes Tell me about it 😅It's not 3 sets, just 3 individual tire. Bay Area, CA roads are terrible. Full of nails. The good thing about the warranty is they don't plug/patch the tires, any leak due to nail/scew or what not, the tire with be replaced

[@LuckieStripes]

Oh okay I didn’t know California had roads that bad lol sounds like Louisiana 😐😂but that’s a that’s a pretty good service to have.

[@wakaflockaproject]

Should sue them and file a compliant.

[@DinoDrives]

I actually got legal advice and after scanning all the terms of service and warranty paperwork. Its written in such a way that it really is a 50/50 shot legal wise. BUT in case the headlight cracks open I win anyhow. So its just a matter of patience, but sad it has to be that way.

[@wakaflockaproject]

@@DinoDrives we need to Boycott them, disgusting behaviour

[@wayfarerza8095]

@@DinoDriveswhat happens if the crack causes malfunction “after” the warranty is expired ?

[@DinoDrives]

@@wayfarerza8095 Knowing how big corporates operate they will tell be its outside of warranty and for my own account. But since I have 2 more years of warranty, lets just see how it goes. It might even be worth buying aditional warranty just because the headlight alone is 5k

[@ryvnryvn]

could you have turned the sync on for the climate control and turned the temp up using the passenger side since that one was working?

[@DinoDrives]

Nope tried both on and off. Unit was dead and got replaced :D

[@BrettinLux]

My wife has the VW Tiguan R and has had 3 cracked windscreens in 3 years.I drive an Audi SQ5 and had 2 cracked windscreens in 2 years.We haven’t had any issues with our insurance so far for the replacement windscreens. The light is shocking and you need to insist that it gets replaced.Maybe try a different Audi dealer?

[@DinoDrives]

I have been in contact again with my dealer to keep pressure on them. Its not the dealer but Audi HQ refusing it

[@Rob12299]

Stone chips are world wide-every car gets them.

[@DinoDrives]

I agree but minor chips should not crack the entire windshield as easy as it has been.

[@nicolofsorin]

It is not the last Rs3 model (5 cylinders). At the beginning of 2025, the new Rs3 facelift will appear, probably with 420-430hp

[@DinoDrives]

A facelift I do not consider "new" I don"t think there will be another new generation of 5 cylinder is what I was aiming for :D

[@franklinschieman7601]

I also lost 3 windshields in 1,5 years, last two also because of cars coming from the opposite direction. Could it be the quality of the glass?

[@paulcave4380]

Beware the ecu faults are common across the whole v a g range

[@DinoDrives]

ECU faults? I have had multiple audis which is drove to beyond 200.000km. I have never had any problems outside of maintanance. My last Audi was a completely tuned one running a stock engine with no problems.

[@paulcave4380]

@@DinoDrives if my car is a lemon explain why the same faults have appeared across the whole VAG group audi vw skoda seat modern cars are run with computers that are crap Chinese components fact

[@DinoDrives]

I have owned mutliple VAG groups cars. You just need to know which models to buy. Same goes for BMW and Mercedes. There is good ones and bad ones. Heck even Porsche has its problems. Since VAG is the biggest ofcourse there will be more material to find. Writing off an entire group of car brands because of personal experience is a bit to drastic. Unless its an Alfa. Then we all agree haha

[@paulcave4380]

@@DinoDrives this is a nonsense reply when you buy a premium car you expect it to work from day 1, at 3 years old first MOT test it was recalled for dangerous defects ( ie ecu faults ) this was the second recall it also failed my audi is not safe to be on the road 14 k mls and still lethal satnav still won't take instructions be it postcodes or address that allown is a 4,5 years failure still constant fault codes mostly brake codes after the recalls but still happens also just to rub salt into the wound audi now want a subscription for a satnav that just never worked despite the fact I already paid for it fck audi never again the VAG

[@paulcave4380]

2 recalls so far 13 returns for fault codes at only 14k miles full service 3 years old I insured my father my car scared him to the point he brought a new car

[@crmexbiking1164]

buying new s3 and this doesn't help lmao 😬

[@BrettinLux]

I’m on my 3rd Audi in 9 years and never had any issues with the car or service.Dealers are also All different.

[@juju0834]

that's the reason i switched to BMW, love my 2023 m340i touring

[@DinoDrives]

I had a BMW before this car and was not convinced about the quality of the entire car haha. Driving is however the only car that can come close to Porsche driving feeling :D However as a daily there is nothing that can beat an Audi imo.

[@juju0834]

@@DinoDrives I think we've all had experiences with cars. I had an A3 and then a 2017 S3 which I loved. Then I placed an order for a 2022 RS3 but it was delayed four times :-(. At the same time I needed a car with more space and the M340i was also on my list at the time. Now I'm really happy with my choice, it's practical, doesn't consume much, I think it's beautiful and it can be sporty when you want :-). But I also love your RS3 :-) Cheers from Fribourg !

[@speeddemon311]

@juju0834 I have a 21 M340i xdrive and a 24 RS3 at the moment. Love the B58, but the RS3 is quite a bit more fun to drive and sounds a lot better with the charismatic 5 cylinder! Both are great, but I highly recommend you get an RS3 still because it's worth every penny and then some imo!!

[@juju0834]

@@speeddemon311i play golf so i need a big trunk 😁 i had the rs3 for a couple of days, it was fun, can’t denied ! But i’m now 38 now and the m340i fits me better overall. Some gti were surprise being a bit too close😂 Enjoy your two cars !!🎉

[@CCC-DID]

Ok cool. I think I may have a different package that was around $1100.00. I think I may have let the initial excitement get me as I got an armor all package that was totally useless. If I decide to get the refreshed ‘25, I will probably forgo all dealer warranties this time around. Thx
