Well the time has come to say bye bye to the S3. It's being replaced by this...
Audi A1 Black Edition. Pictures below, not sure when we will collect it as the plate has to be transferred over.

Yes, it was struggling to start in the cold, quite rare to have a problem with the low pressure fuel pump, took them a while to find out what the problem was.
Mrs was driving an A6 for a while, it was like watching her park a bungalow :signLOL:

Very nice. Really like the A1 :congrats:

Looks awesome that Choppers! :happy2: These are really growing on me now, wasn't convinced by them at first!
No I wasn't but having had several as courtesy cars etc and test driving a 185 Sline version in October it was sold on us. Black Edition has 7 speed S-Tronic too... :driver:
That's the dry clutch version? What donkey is under the bonnet?
Nice, BTW, but not my cuppa! :happy2:
-
That looks great. Looks a bit funny will the ultra low profile tyres and fairly high ride height! Definitely grown on me these :driver:
-
Love it, and especially love the way the car was presented to you! Full marks to the dealer!! :congrats:

Does it really? Are you sure? Why would they start going with a wet clutch system on the Audi and keep the dry clutch system on the Polo GTI, SEAT Ibiza Cupra/Boc and vRS?

Here you go...ours has the 7 speed unit in it.
S tronic (6-speed)
The revolutionary S tronic gearbox combines the agility and responsiveness of a conventional 6-speed manual gearbox with the convenience and smooth, uninterrupted power of an automatic transmission. The technical basis of the S tronic gearbox is the double clutch. This consists of two lubricated plates with hydraulically-regulated contact pressure. One engages the odd-numbered gears, the other the even-numbered, enabling gear-shifts to be made in a fraction of a second, with no disruption to the power flow. Depending on how the mood takes you, you can either allow gear-changes to take place automatically or, for a sportier driving style, operate the S tronic system using the gear lever or steering wheel shift-paddles. The choice is yours.
S tronic (7-speed)
The extra gear, along with a dry-clutch set-up, results in improved fuel economy and lower CO2 emissions. As with the 6-speed S tronic gearbox, this gear system can be operated in fully automatic mode, or using the gear lever or steering wheel gear-change controls for an even more engaging drive.
-
I think you may have confused it with the longitudinal 7 speed S-tronic they use in the RS5 - that has three separate oil circuits - one for clutch (ATF), one for the cogs of the gearbox (manual tranny fluid), and one for the centre diff (axle fluid). :nerd:
How does the dry clutch version compare to the wet clutches? :driver:
-
Lovely car! I wonder how many of those stickered up A1s they will sell? (I spy one in the background here!)
