Flap Size Envy .... It's real !

Maybe not so obvious I've no idea what you are on about

They open well before full throttle. After much experimentation over 5 years with the flaps open and closed I have discovered : a) With the flaps open the top speed of the car was 165mph with them closed it was 155mph b) 0-60 With flaps open was 4.3 seconds with them closed was 5.9 seconds c) The car sounds like a herd of stampeding Buffalo with the flaps open and with them closed sounds like the Mrs's Revlon Hairdryer albeit at 'High' on the power switch....

Reading posts like this i'm glad I took out a warranty for year 6 ! Probably do the same next year if I have the option. Just done 30k.

All you need is the noise ;-)

Fast enough for me... Like AlVal i've owned extremely quick cars in the past so have that T-Shirt... I'll spend the cash on beer and hookers thanks

It's nippy but it's no Cerb lol !

I would just see how you go with the car for a bit its bloody fast without the remap lol !

Probably not have much interest on a thread about noisy suspension !!

Whatever you do make sure you don't collect it in small plastic bags !!!

The recommendation is to always have your best tires on the back. I've recently had two new PS4's and had them fitted to the rear and the rear's moved to the front.

This is not a good idea.... You find yourself in a situation requiring instant power and you will be left fumbling for the shifter.

Sell it mate a 280 with a non working exhaust flap isn’t worth having ..... p.s this may or may not be useful advice depending on your point of view.....

I know it's a personal thing but I've never liked those animated indicators from the first time I saw them on a mates A6.

As shy mentioned earlier the Haldex allows seamless power delivery even on damp and slippy roads. I would say this .... Take a 220 for a test drive on a wet day and on an empty traffic island make a spirited getaway like we all do from time to time .... Then test drive a 272 / 280 and do the same test......

Buy a 280 ;-)

Father Crimbo brought me Ecto 1 bless him !

Hope you can make the best of it under the circumstances wherever you are .... I'll be building Lego

p.s. I did take out the 5 year warranty at purchase and have subsequently taken out a 6th year with Skoda ...

Personally I would have been absolutely delighted with Skoda's offer.

Stopwatch only works to 2.7 seconds

Opposite for mine .... She has a stopwatch !

When it eventually gets there ....

I thought the SE L had electric folding mirrors ? My 2015 does. I leave mine on manual and do it with the switch on the door to save wear but their is also a setting in the Columbus options to have them automatically fold when you lock the car.

Bet I still have mine in 6 years ....
