It's nice but prefer the wheels on your old one.

that one?
Had it since April last year.... (or do you mean one with a dangerous engine?

What was your previous one, looks quite similar?
Looks and feels a lot older than 2012 inside but should go quite nicely with the 3 litre engine.

Indeed

It was the 2.0 TFSI 211 Sportback S-Line which I had no end of trouble with the engine
The dag dag is virtually identical 0-60 (~7 seconds) as the TFSI but more torques and mpgs
Thanks both

That steering wheel is disgusting, food and skin in the cracks, hope you hadn't just picked it up from the dealer like that, would have sent it back for another valet.

Makes it look a lot better imho
give it a coupla weeks for them to settle and then get yer alignment checked tho
Mk1 3's and 6's are proper sleepers.
5k would get you a damn nice 6 if you were interested in larger cars.
6 or a non Aero mark 1 3 for you sir
Some right MPS loving here!
Other than that bar the £485 per year to tax they are fantastic fun. Nathwrath has the MPS MK2 which is cheaper to tax and to my knowledge a few more refinements. Road bumps can be a bit of a pig but I think mine has been put on Aero springs from the factory.
There is one thing to look out for and thats the VVT system can get slack on the chain, one way to test this is to take the cover off and check the banana guides for chain marks as that's a bad sign. To replace the whole VVT is about £350 in parts from the states and get a decent mechanic to do it.
Sometimes turbo seals can go but hell that can happen but you'd be looking at a fairly decent bill for that as it'd be a new turbo. Signs for that are blue smoke on idle if you do notice it then use 5-40w oil see if that helps. Main maintenance is every 4,500 drop the oil out and replace it and the filter. I use castrol magnatec 5-30w A1.
As for people saying about torque steer yeah they do a bit but if you have decent rubber on them and the tracking done right it should be okay just be sensible before jamming your right hoof into the carpet.
An Lethal` good to see you have taste in colours
Aye the high tax is on all mk 1's about half of the 6s scraped into the 265 a year bracket tho
the mk 2 3's are the lower bracket too.As above, restrictor bolt and higher grade oil to prevent issues with seals, altho if they've already gone wont really help. I've always used shell helix ultra.
aye wheres everyone been hiding lol!
Hope yer all registered on MPSOC
As with any main dealer?
Parts can be had way cheaper from the states and europe
lol, you mean the dust ?
What?

Ah I see, yeah got the splitter/skirts from him why he was doing the production runs but just haven't got round to fitting the skirts yet.
Mint bar roof unfortunately as it has gone in the 'usual' place above my shoulder. But a trip to Swansea will sort that
In the mean time Stormsure seems to be doing a good job
Unfortunately not a naff Ford or petrol BMW, but a dag dag Audi
Picked her up today
so far, loving it
let the dag dag Audi hate commence .................
Get it in the Audi thread!
What was wrong with the 2.0TFSI?
This is floating across the sea currently
To update, it floated across the sea to then find out someone crashed into it somewhere between Japan and Southampton docks

Who did you ship it with?
Yeah wheel has taken a smack, doesn't look so bad from the photo but it's damaged a fair amount. Thinking a forklift has swung around and smacked into it.

Alloy does look damaged, also nowhere near as shiny or is it just me?
Bet you are gutted, best of luck getting it sorted out!
