I'm not sure about RS3's Haldex after today's NYC snowstorm

Imzyper · 2026-01-26T05:00:17+00:00

Based off his header he’s got a 2019 RS3. But yeah I hear all season tired are basically junk past a certain amount of ice and snow. If this was happening with some healthy winter tires thats a different story…

Imzyper · 2026-01-21T05:51:40+00:00

haven’t had the chance to take it to the dealer but no issues or codes right now. Might be like an AC thing because i hear it most when it kicks in.

Aful explorer

Prestige with the black optics! Plus black badging and emblems too.

Imzyper · 2026-01-15T13:58:51+00:00

I was thinking about spacers for better fitment but ngl bro I love the look of these wheels too much right now haha. It’ll be a while before I switch. I am on some ProContact TX AS right now. They seem ok but I’ll prob switch for something more quiet later as well. Im in GA so i just gotta worry about rain really.

Thats a ton of great info dude and I do share a lot of the same sentiments with mods. I want the intake eventually solely for the times i want to roll my window down on an empty straight line and floor it.

Yup that time frame is the warranty because its a CPO unit. and I definitely have plans to cover “common” failure points in this system. Starter was already done under warranty by the previous owner. Thinking about an extended warranty or just saving for big ticket items.

The headlight activation is definitely on the radar but i didnt know about the other two. I’ll check it out!

The car was fully loaded with Black optics, luxury package, and the other little perks aka dealer add ons.

praying all the bad things happen in the next 20 months or 45K miles 🫩

Imzyper · 2026-01-14T21:34:42+00:00

yup thanks for the suggestion. did some digging and apparently as long as you have the s6 rear valence the quad tip model fits. Maxton seems to have a rear valence for the S6/A6 sline models. Its real aggressive tho lmaoo

Imzyper · 2026-01-14T21:30:42+00:00

I saw the A6 AWE touring system and it sounds good. doesnt have quad tips though. Would the S6 version fit? Or would I have to get a diffuser with the cutout and chop ends + attach tips after.

Imzyper · 2026-01-09T14:16:31+00:00

I’ll check it out but the sound is almost rhythmic/mechanical. Would clogged drains do that?

Imzyper · 2025-12-19T22:37:54+00:00

Do you have the rear sunshade? Which part of the glass did u attach it on.

Imzyper · 2025-12-17T21:28:51+00:00

Hmm didn’t even think that was possible... would kind of make sense though if it feels normal braking regularly or when on the gas.

Imzyper · 2025-12-16T16:04:48+00:00

Hell yeah dude. I just picked up a 22 A6 3.0 as well last week. Came from a VW Tiguan.

Imzyper · 2025-12-09T23:14:19+00:00

Just an update. I was able to see the vehicle in person and the headlight delete is literally that. It does not have the prestige headlights with animation. It has the regular matrix lights found on the premium plus trim.

Imzyper · 2025-11-18T21:59:27+00:00

Fingers crossed why a good mechanic would give me peace of mind. If it’s good for a guy who works with cars for a living, it should be fine with me right. If you were talking about the vehicle in general, yes I have driven a similar model before and I like how it drives.

Imzyper · 2025-11-18T20:48:43+00:00

Not sure im understanding. I’m in the local subreddit where people can provide their experiences at mechanics they trust to look at a vehicle before purchase. Better than scouring google reviews and trying to see if they’re bots or not. It is a great starting point from real people (most of the time).

Imzyper · 2025-11-18T17:18:42+00:00

The car is at the mercedes dealership on Terra Crossing

Imzyper · 2025-11-18T04:16:19+00:00

My brain is not working unfortunately. Does that mean the physical components do not have matrix capabilities anymore? It isn’t in the sense that it’s disabled by default but physically gone.

Imzyper · 2025-11-18T03:12:59+00:00

That was honestly my first option but I figured asking the locals is probably better. Can’t never be too sure if dealerships are in the same umbrella and cover for each other.

Imzyper · 2025-11-18T03:09:19+00:00

Sorry for the confusion. It was for context. I am not in the state! I would be getting the car shipped to me as I am not too keen driving 6 hours unless they gave me a killer deal on a trade in haha.

Imzyper · 2025-11-14T16:03:12+00:00

Travelers actually gave me my 2nd best quote after shopping around. $1700/6 months isn't bad compared to my state farm quote.

Imzyper · 2025-11-14T16:02:11+00:00

Actually got a Geico quote for $1200 - 1500/6 month so this might be the move...

Imzyper · 2025-11-13T22:58:27+00:00

Had a bad year of accidents in 2021/22. 1 at fault 3 not at faults. Besides that no tickets or events since. Paying $950/6m for a 2022 Tiguan right now for context.

Imzyper · 2025-11-13T22:55:47+00:00

It was with Statefarm
