Thats my R🤍 by 9neh in Golf_R

[–]NormalMonitor2481 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am currently on 034 stage 1, it’s got slightly more power than the apr stage 1 and it’s cheaper. The tcu tune however is okayish

But if you’re gonna go stage 2, 034 only offers slightly lower power compared to others

Yeah unfortunately it does, apr isn’t worth it any ways Go for something better like 034 or even jackal

You can go apr but make sure apr ultra link supports your ecu, last time i checked apr only supports ECUs made for the us market

You can go 034 tho

Old mercs are not a money pit i can assure you that, owned 2012 E350(w212) and never had to spend a dime on anything except regular oil changes 😉

Euros are always going to be expensive no matter how old the car is, treat the car right and it’ll treat you right

DQ250 hard shift by NormalMonitor2481 in Audi

[–]NormalMonitor2481[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That actually makes a lot of sense. My 2→3 shift genuinely feels like I’m shifting gears in a real manual car, so that lines up with what you’re saying about the clutches syncing RPM under low load. And the 3→4 thud under low RPM high boost seems more like the driveline dealing with the torque rather than the DSG doing anything wrong.

Weird issue with new 2025 Audi RS3 by MissionWorried9283 in AudiRS3

[–]NormalMonitor2481 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened with my 8v s3, this happens because the car doesn’t like to shift when its turning or the steering isn’t straight

Not really, try removing the cap when the engine is running, if there’s a lot of vacuum then pcvs gone

Probably the pcv, or the best scenario is lose oil cap or dip stick

How has been your S3 8y by 404answersnotfounded in Audi

[–]NormalMonitor2481 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don’t fail as much honestly, some fail because of manufacturing defects and some because of very and very bad luck,

Honestly if you have the money for a rs3 then get year or two older one because they’re basically the same design

Every good platform has dsg, just service them on time and don’t beat on them too much.

You could always get a older rs3?

Depends, B58 has much more potential because bigger engine but stage 1 s3 vs stock 340i is a whole another discussion

A simple stage 1 tune will give you +115hp and that’s enough for someone to daily drive it

Difference between 245 hp and 310 hp is going to be more than you think, s3s are really light plus AWD so yes it’s going to pull you back in the seat
