Happened on wednesday, new propshaft one is on route to the dealer, should be back on the road on tuesday.  They have hired me an S3 in the meantime, albeit a very abused S3.

Yes, they have said the new one is modified.  Probably down to the extra weight over the TTRS, as Im assuming its the same part.

I'm not sure on that one but the rs3 wheelbase is longer so I assume they would need a longer propshaft. That coupled with the extra weight and extra grip due to the weight is what could be killing them. Atleast we know the replacement should be stronger

What a joke! Nearly 50% of the ttrs/rs3s I hear about pop a driveshaft

Have Audi solved it on the TTRS? 
Be a second hand sale nightmare if its an on going problem which passes the manufacturers warranty term. :surprised:

I've heard of a few of these going, but they do seem to be dropping like flies at the moment. Maybe it is the fact there are more being modified now they are getting a little older?

I've read up on 3 or 4 cars that have had them replaced and they've all been standard!
