The screen fits into the dash space where the factory retractable screen is removed.

The only irreversible aspect of my install was that I drilled a hole in the top of the glovebox to allow more...

Somewhat of a thread resurrection - I installed a new Series 3 RSNav unit in my RS3 this week and it's very impressive.

The installation was fairly straight forward for anyone familiar with the...

From memory lane assist, blind spot assist and adaptive (radar) cruise were bundled in the Assistance Pack so having one should mean having the other.

Externally the changes are the radar sensor...

We've had our MY16 PFL since new, and my own perspective is that there wasn't (and still isn't) enough in the FL to justify upgrading to the newer car.

The virtual cockpit is significantly better...

I've pulled some data from Carsales just for curiosity, based on current RS3 sales listings. There are 117 RS3s for sale at the moment, covering both used cars and listed dealer stock, 48 PFL and 69...

Apparently at this time of the year Carsales.com.au typically lists around 200,000 used and demo vehicles for sale. At the moment they've got around 110,000.

Covid has certainly changed the car...

The only issues we had with our SQ5 TDI was the sunroof. We had the known issues with it creaking which were resolved by the dealer applying some grease in the runners, and a more serious issue...

+1 for Northside European. Great guys to deal with and they know VAG product probably better than anyone else in Canberra, the dealers included. Have used them for the RS6 and RS3 right down to the...

Dynamic is only fully dynamic using the dash switch when selected from another program. That is, if you cycle through the other programs and back to Dynamic you’ll get the cracks & pops. If you...

Must be such a great camera that you posted the same spam to at least 2 forums I’ve read today, word for word, typos included.

Merry Christmas to you and the rest of your call centre.

Congrats! Sounds like a great spec, should be a cracker of a car!

If you leave the gear selector in D/S and use the paddles to change gears you only get a short term override. About 8 seconds after your last paddle selection the gearbox will return to the automatic...

I’ve been one of those people in the past, not necessarily on this forum but definitely on other internet car forums. I’ll be one of those people again in the future without question.

To me the...

Sadly that behaviour isn’t surprising even from an Audi dealership.

My RS3 had to go to an Audi dealer for lane assist calibration after a windscreen replacement. The GPS tracker installed in the...

I used to have problems with the 12V outlets all the time in our SQ5, until I realised that when I put my garage controller in the ash tray the metal key ring would touch the outlet contacts and blow...

A few possibilities come to mind, all based on things I've experienced in my RS3:

1. If left to its own devices the car won't change down to 1st until pretty much a complete stop, and taking off...

It might be worth double checking the ET on your listing - OEM Cassiopeia wheels are 19x8.5 ET42 and 19x11 ET55.

I haven't owned a V10 R8 but I owned 2 Gallardos over 7 years, so hopefully some of my thoughts will be helpful to you.

Re ongoing costs, to give you an idea of what I spent on maintenance:
...

The big deal with having formal qualifications is that those qualifications are what entitles you to apply for an AFS Licence from ASIC, the certification that legally permits you to provide...

Before I post anything, please remember that you're asking an internet forum for financial advice. The opinions you've gotten are just that - people's personal feelings based upon their own life...

Urban driving in Canberra is probably a bit less stop-start but we’d get about 700km from a tank around town, driven in dynamic, M and no stop-start.

On the highway (mainly Canberra - Sydney) we’d...

If you’re interested the Velar is in World Square until Friday. I went to the launch last night, the new interior really puts the fixed screen in the SQ5 to shame.

Only got one crappy pic during...

Not completely correct - there’s no law that requires a company to accept any particular form of payment, including cash, for a pending transaction. I banned all cash sales above $500 in our...

TL;DR: For my kind of "daily driving", the RS6 would be my preference over the S5.

The long answer is that the features I love about the S5 - the driving comfort, the assistance tech, the...

We have a 2016 RS3 and just picked up a 2017 S5 Sportback.


Both are great cars that tick a lot of the same boxes (performance, assistance tech, build quality, safety etc) but they're worlds...
