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..
@@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.
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. 😂
