Audi is now upping the game with the 25 RS3 rims; is there a way to obtain these for almost nothing given I just bought a '24 last week?
I also want the bucket seats in it.
Anyway, since the new RS3 has a different or better torque vectoring tune, will we automatically receive that software update?
This automobile fucks and knows exactly how long till the red light turns green.
The 5cyl RS3 engine does not require “breaking in”. The same goes for versions 8 and 10. It’s the same with Porsche engines, which are evaluated and broken in before the car ever leaves the factory. So yeah, I’m surprised how many people still don’t know this…
The motors are there, but how about the drivetrain? Giving the transmission and rear differential some proper heat cycles before smashing them appears smart.
Launch control at 50 miles? Oh my.
Launch control? Is it feasible that your automobile hasn’t been broken into yet?
I’m pretty sure my friend had it coded in his RS7; the revs were limited until break-in, and I’m not sure what the needed mileage was. I didn’t have it in my S3, so I’m not sure how it works with RS3.
Although dealers may recommend break-in, the OP should maintain a maximum RPM of 2500-3000 for the first 1500-3000 km (~1000-2000 mi), then perform the first oil change and enjoy the car. Take care of your engine, bro… it’s a good one; with break-in and frequent oil changes, it should last a long time!
The seats will most likely not be available in the North American market for the facelift, but they should be.
The wheels and seats are carryovers, so you may order them separately. “Only” $17k for the seats, $6k for the wheels.
