Iv had mine 3 years now, its stage 3+ and I kick its head in when I do drive it. Sensors and coil packs are the main things that need replacing. And suspension upgraded polly bushed etc

I've done close to 10k in mine, absolutely love mine.. Although I find it sounds nicest at low rpms with a little recirc valve on. Honestly as someone that hates Audi, I find I love them for what they were, from the beginning to 2012 I think they're wonderful cars. It's something you have to learn about and bond with as a very, like learning faults on your days off it really helps you get into cars learning what makes it tick and making the experience better. Honestly the 8L S3 is a car you need to drive to understand the cult behind them. The 1.8t is a wonderful engine as well, since getting the PCV taken out and going for a catch can it doesn't leak fluids anymore.. I just maintain mine very meticulously..

The VW 1.8 20V turbo is a very good engine. Mine is remapped, has done over 200K and still runs like a clock, no oil consumption.

Getting a bi tired of my R53 Mini JCW. Maybe if I could find a dolphin grey one of these.

Très bon accent ! Et très belle voiture :) J'ai une petite APY et lorsqu'elle n'a pas de soucis c'est super à conduire.

This is a fast car with lot of understeer. But it is reliable.

[@turbosandtalks]

More of a FWD on dry surface indeed.

@@turbosandtalks i have a3 1.8t 8L with 600.000km on the clock.

[@turbosandtalks]

Congrats! They seem to be robust cars

[@gfxmaniac]

@@turbosandtalks thanx. I will try to make an oldtimer out of this car. Main problem of mine is rust. So maintenance is required every year in that area.

[@AnthonyDurand1]

I've never had understeer out of mine.. I've had it aquaplane before but in corners mines stuck to the road like it's on rails.. I live in Cornwall and I'm always giving it a good clear out on narrow lanes. 😂
