Any software updates pending for VAG you know of

I think I need to do something tbh, at the moment my daily drive is my trusty Saab 9-3 TTid Aero mapped to 238hp and the other half drives the Kuga which we both hate although torquey little number at 400Nm if not that quick but it going to make way for the S3 which I fell in love with and will become my daily driver and family car. Hence the concerns I am having and reasoning for asking you. If my brain had not of over ruled my heart at time of ordering the S3 I would have come out with the 280 plus the other half in my ear telling me I have my little Pug 205gti pushing out 300hp + (fully race prepared btw) and we were after something economical, which makes sence I have absolutely no regrets buying the 150 S3 and cant wait to pick it up Monday, just know I will have to make a few tweaks without voiding the warranty, in my eyes one hell of a family car for anyone to own Thank you for you input and sorry to go off topic a bit lads

nice insight cant wait till 11am Monday thanks

Gizmo do you know where the speaker is, so I can dull the sound as soon as I pick mine up Monday. Thinking it may be a good idea until I get it sorted via VCDS given I have an autistic child. Whilst you are here you mentioned the Race chips XLR peddle box somewhere, do you have this, if so why did you choose over DTUK, is anyone better than the other. I was going to start a new thread just handy you popped in here for your initial thoughts

looks nice mate I'm glad they did not opt for the twin light system from the Octy sitting next to it, along with the size difference wow. It truly is Superb sitting by the BMW as well. Cant wait until 11am Monday Enjoy !

Nice one Welcome Matt Lets hope they keep the same spec for you Rob as they have in the U.K

Pick up car next Monday mud flaps, rubber mats and tunnel cover arrived today from Superskoda well chuffed

before anyone is thinking of any sarcastic remarks I'm not on about a certain Ford Kuga which I have

Don't think any of us can argue with the maths and I'm sure comes into play in our minds in someway or the other. this is probably the most accurate answer I have seen, and the solid reasoning behind @RGKTSi decision he his reaching a half a century old this year, so why not spoil yourself having a luxurious wolf in sheep's clothing, which doesn't mean he has a wolf he going to drive it that way every day. I chose the 150tdi SEL as a decent family car after looking to at the 280, but decided I already have a fast car that's truly a wolf in sheep's clothing, whilst not as luxurious far from it as the 280 L&K it certainly betters it in performance. There is absolutely nothing wrong with Dacia they are a fine car indeed for the money and if we all applied the maths and logic in life there is something in the Dacia range suitable for all of us. For me it would be the Sandero of cause the Stepaway. It is also important to think that there are those out there who can not afford or treat themselves having to think of the maths as not everyone is as fortunate in life as others or those thinking of a second car in the family which makes something like a Dacia extremely feasible option

And who doesn't like a bit of luxury! The only reason I went for the SE L was basically it cost very little to swap with my existing car. I wanted to add the ambient lighting but needed to add KESSY which I was not really bothered about @£400 and given my current car keyless keeps failing "warning no ford key present" gave me doubts. Something I will no doubt live to regret as I liked the ambient lighting. To some people a car is a car transport from A to B to others its a passion and I'm sure those driving a clapped out car would consider a new Dacia a Rolls Royce and would think they are Queen B. I don't think this thread is about all the luxury's the L&K but how much each person perceives the amount of/style of the emblems on it. Lets face it we are all human and we all perceive everything in different way, we all are all entitled to our own opinion with no right or wrong way. If we did wehat a boring world it would be

like most things in life it eventually grows on you and you don't notice its there in the end. I also agree it is a little ott the amount that's on the car, I would prefer just one on the rear and say just smaller L+K elsewhere externally. Interior wise think it looks quite good on the seats but not so sure about the dash.

Ok thanks for the info, I'm definitely thinking of one for my S3 when I collect it next week

quick and easy guide, What was the price with the discount and any reason you opted for the + box over the standard given the unit is hidden. From what I remember there is a minor difference with this one from the last time I spoke to them as its not on the website yet, but cant remember apart from better cosmetics

Getting excited will be delivered at dealers on Friday

That's what I'm thinking via door switch to retrofit lights and probably puddle lights as well. without seen it my thoughts are if needed going via a suitable diode to prevent reverse flow potentially playing havoc and although need to prevent as much voltage drop which shouldn't be to much of an issue tbh if using LED fittings, and of cause may need a resistor in there as well. Oh well something keep me busy for a hour when I get 5

Do you happen to have a wiring diagram for the rear door cards ? I intend to fit them at some point although not priority, when my car actually arrives, which shouldn't prove to difficult given my job. Although a wiring diagram is not essential but could save considerable time running tests prior. Can high or Can low that's the question

Thanks again

Could you also tell me please if it has courtesy lights in the rear doors and foot well lights front/rear ? Cant wait to get mine

Posted in the updates thread as well but Can anyone confirm who as taken delivery of a SEL exec in the UK with the newer 9.2" screen, whether or not it still has the dvd unit in the glove box please

superb colour, think I will get mine repainted don't they have tarmac roads in your part of the country lol Thanks all for the replies going to order of super skoda with along with rubber mats

Morning all, just wondering if anyone has purchased mud flaps and there overall view of them worth it or not Thanks in advance

Well a video of our handover would be quite boring compared to this 1/ arrive at dealer to pick up 2/ sign paperwork and pay any remaining balance 3/ sales rep takes you to your car, hands you your keys, check 4/ a quick run through of the car, he then asks you if there is anything you want to be shown, where they try to explain more than likely making a fool of them selves as more often than not they know less than you. when I went for a test drive they did not have a SEL Exec(Style I believe to you) in to take a drive so I went out in an SE (model below) on return I asked I asked if they had a sport in so I could sample the drive modes (sport mainly) as I felt normal mode a bit hairy fairy. sales rep says SE has it and I told him not as standard he did not believe me and went and checked. on getting out of the car he say no it does not !!! So I went to test drive a VW Passat 150 with the drive modes to get the feel. So when I pick my car up I will do the necessary steps and take the keys and just drive off into the sunset, well rain probably lol

Hope mine was on the same boat as told last week car had passed customs waiting for the boat. Think we are about the same time scales if I remember Believe they shutdown for 2 weeks in July, so much to continental shift work that we got from Europe , they need to take a leaf out of their own book then Hope it does not delay the process too much for you, just bloody annoying I know

don't now but you know what us men are like with our big toys not sure if most would want to play around and only ask questions in a dilemma lol so not sure if id want to burst any ones bubble so to speak. good idea though in principle and be interesting to see what others feel before committing
