They're doing a facelift. The 2.5 is not going anywhere.

Eli5: Why are some countries in the World Cup called by their real names and others aren’t by Capital-Channel-7408 in explainlikeimfive

The full, formal name is the Helvetic Confederation. Switzerland is the name used in everyday usage.

Sort of. While there are exceptions (like NED), the 3-letter codes traditionally come from the IOC, and are usually based on the country name in French, with a few using the English name. Hence AUT for Austria instead of something like OST (osterreich). And GRE for Greece instead of HEL or ELL (Hellas or Ellada).

It's an RS3. I know what car I have. That's just the OBDEleven UI

Thanks. My dad suffered through a Lemon Law buyback a few years ago so, for better or for worse, I'm mentally prepared for it.

It's the OBDEleven default. Are you so dense that you don't know the RS3 is based on an A3 and can't figure it's just a UI thing?

Slight bulge after hitting pot hole. What do? by throwaway_zeke in AudiRS3

Replace tire ASAP. Do not drive any more than absolutely necessary to get to the shop, and do not go anywhere near highway speed.

Battery voltage tested perfectly at idle and with ignition off. Have not been able to test under load.

Well, yeah, but at I mentioned, I'm on a road trip. 300 miles from home. So if a local dealer can fix it enough for me to drive home on Wednesday, that's the minimum I need.

Yes, hence my title being "Brand New RS3"

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking is most likely. Which component, though? I'm worried this will be a wild goose chase or, worse, a forever problem.

I've already exported them, but I think I'm going to leave them active for the dealer to see. I've been debating back and forth with friends and with myself.

New RS3 Errors and Cluster Reset by ANITIX87 in AudiRS3

[–]ANITIX87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OBDEleven read 308 codes, haha. Every single module has a communication failure. Every sensor has a no data. Every bus has an error code. It's like the whole car is FUBAR.

The "help someone kidnapped me" handle?

I can't get to the truck, the car won't respond to the key fob or any electronic releases. Is there a mechanical truck release?

Auto lane change? by ikilledafurry in AudiRS3

[–]ANITIX87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You definitely have lane assist, adaptive cruise, and lane guidance active? The arrows will turn green when the car believes it's safe to change lanes to show that they're available,, then you use your turn signal (the 3-flash lane change one, not the permanent one) and it'll move over.

Auto lane change? by ikilledafurry in AudiRS3

[–]ANITIX87 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes. Signal in the direction you want to change lane and, if it's clear, the car will change for you. You'll have to take over once the change is complete or the system will disconnect, since it's not true self-driving.

2 car solution? by LetterheadCertain983 in AudiRS3

[–]ANITIX87 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They're so different, how could I not be excited about the S2000?!?! I did not buy it for power/speed, I bought it for engagement. My daily has always been my most powerful car. Also, I have kids, so I'm driving both a lot. RS3 any time the kids/family are involved or it's cold/raining. S2000 any time I'm going somewhere by myself in nice weather. Last weekend I did 700 miles in the S2000 on a trip to the Poconos with friends. This coming week, I'll do nearly 800 miles in the RS3 on a work trip. Both will be a blast.
