Holy hell. Id love to have ones of these! Thats crazy and a hell of a sleeper.

That would wreck some feelings on the street.

Vette hunting in a 4 door Audi sounds fun!!

Ohhh [MENTION=6366]95SC[/MENTION] too

 

[Knowklew]

50-60k for a used RS3 plus mods to run 9.0 = ?

 

[Mook]

Likely a good amount of weight savings too.

God damn. So fucking tempting.


The constant haldex issues were a major turn off with my s3....
[MENTION=5]Mook[/MENTION] Any word if the Haldex in the rs3 is in fact different? When I “left” the community it was my understanding that only the trans was different as a 7spd

(Or maybe I just needed a TCU tune... damn warranty)

Hoffman Audi will apply APR tunes and fully warranty if you let them apply it #divebackin

What the hell

 

[Mook]

No clue. I honestly don't follow the platform very much.

I really just dont trust when AUDI wont cover something, but a private DEALER will....

whats to stop them from saying "oh, your engine blew? We (the private dealer) arent covering the $10,000 bill"

Audi USA will definitely say the warranty is voided. Then im SOL

 

[Mook]

If you blow your engine with a tune, I would not expect a dealer to cover anything

So far, Crystal Lake VW has been great about covering the car whenever I go (which thankfully hasnt been for anything motor or trans related). They've basically stated they'll try and push any work through regardless of the tune...but if its glaringly obvious the tune (or parts) were responsible for engine / trans / turbo damage....I'm SOL...which I would expect.

exactly my point.

they can easily go tell you to pound sand.


Sure maybe the will cover a $300-400 something or other that breaks....

 

[Mook]

I'm confused then...what point are you trying to make?

Dealers that offer APR / Unitronic / etc tunes also include warranties with them...but most of the time they only offer stage 1...which 99% of the time wont do enough to break anything.

I dont know that VW / Audi USA approves of this but lots of dealers offer tuning options so VW / Audi must be at least somewhat ok with it.

You were a service writer...you'd know better than me.

 

[Mook]

I mean really....its up to you, the customer, to do your homework. If a dealer offers a stage 1 apr tune, I would personally make sure I get in writing that if something happens, my warranty is safe.

 

[syP]

my point is i would NEVER have a dealer sell me whatever stage tune on the premise THEY (the dealer) will cover anything that happens, when I know that AUDI USA will NOT cover it, as ANY tune voids the warranty.

you are at the mercy of the dealer then.

 

[Mook]

I'd never get a dealer tune regardless...I have zero proof but I bet they are gimped compared to a tune from a shop or direct from Cobb, etc.

the roush tune sucked massive balls compared to an aftermarket tune

 

[syP]

you should see the SLP tune we used to have to put onto supercharged escalades

 

[DanJ]

My understanding is that the dealership will push through warranty work for customers. Once it hits a certain dollar amount VAG sends someone out, or requires a scan to be submitted. If it detects aftermarket software or the something is fucky with the flash count then you are SOL. The APR plus tunes that dealers are pushing now are watered down versions of their tunes, and the warranty is third party so it’s not that great of a deal.

That looked so effortless in the video.
