That's what I'm hoping Kevin. Can anyone advise what springs I should buy to go with the OSRAVs? I'm not wanting to lower the car.

Hi,
If I hadn't recently found a broom yellow Plus, I'd have been very interested in your car. If I were you, I would get that hot starting problem sorted as it will put a lot of people off. Your car is a great colour and also has a factory sunroof which is super rare on a Plus. Good luck with the sale.

That's a shame Jamjam12, you've put in a lot of effort Occasionally this sad conclusion is inevitable but hopefully you will indirectly contribute to saving other coupés.

I've seen this too- planning to be there on the day as well- it's not far from me either-hope some others can make it too.

Hello Everybody where can i find this xdf file? I'm interested
Regards Morris

This one has a FCCUK badge on the quarter light aswell, so I was hoping in someone knowing a bit more.

Understandably those things back in the days were worth nothing, so people were just buying them to trash them around for a bit and then ditch them.

As far as Joe told me, the last owner sadly passed away, he did had it for quite a while, but there are 3 previous owners before him. i was also very curious about the mods done to it, because the clutch feels like has been upgraded, the shifter has been shortened, the turbo is definitely upgraded (i think a T28 is been fitted), but that's all you can see by eye, so i don't know if anything else has been done to it.

Well, I'm back on this project now...
Rear wheel arches, drivers door, bonnet and boot lid all being repaired, restored and/or painted.
Had the exhaust manifold restored, repaired and strengthened.
Digging out some old but good wheels and tyres.
Re-service required as has sat for so long.
Need bonnet badge now lol
Exciting :-)

As far as I know John is still working

What clutch did you use in the end to handle the torque?

The RS3 was amazing on our trip to Turin and back. The car was faultless and returned reasonable 32.4 mpg. But the most surprising aspect was just how well the car cruises, no fuss and fantastically comfortable. We expected the car to be tiresome on the run from Turin to Holland, but not a hint of it. That run flew by and we arrived surprisingly fresh. I am so pleased I didn't specify the adaptive suspension. Maybe if I had planned to track the car it would have been of benefit but as I don't then it has been perfect.

The only element missing from the trip was having the ability to take the roof down. I never understood the open top driving thing but when Trish insisted on her first roadster, I too was hooked. We do have a TT roadster in the stable, a MK2 amplified black TDI. It's a car that we have taken across Europe on so many trips and is Trish's daily driver. It is a lovely car and whilst the diesel returns a fantastic MPG and looks great, receiving a lot of attention, it lacks any real performance and drama. This coupled with us having a MK3 TT coupé saw this version of the TT really grow on us.

So, for quite some time I've been watching MK3 roadsters, and have viewed a few. There was a small hiccup in my plan, the Fiat Coupé. In the run up to the anniversary event I was becoming tempted to pull the trigger on another coupé. But the desire to get another TT roadster swiftly returned. A TTRS version was very tempting but I swiftly dismissed it. I couldn't possibly sell my RS3 , I have a four year warranty and five year service plan. There is also no way I could have two 5 cylinder Audi's, the insurance alone nowadays would murder me. Prices are now double what they were when I bought my TTRS in 2019!!!

The TTS is OK but they are a lot of money, for a car that offers little over the 2.0 TFSI Quattro. Insurance company's are also murdering those too.

So the search was narrowed down to the 230hp hp Quattro and this week I have found one. It's a little older (2016) and is in Sport trim, rather than the S-line or Black edition I wanted.
The car is in stunning condition, a credit to it's two former keepers, and minimal mileage (30K). It also has all but one of the factory options that were available, at that time. The invoice shows over £13000 of selected options!
