    Its really funny you should say that.I would say its definatley not 190 Bhp. I got Wayne to take me out it it so i could see how fast they are at 190 Bhp, and to be honest it didnt look or feel as fast as my W reg T sport. Did you have doubts then?

    Well I only had doubts because my previous a3 ,a 51 2001 s3 210bhp would have absolutely
    raped little miss goldie,but when comparing an s3 in superb factory condition and being so smooth to the gold a3,which as you know is quite harsh and brash/loud with that irritating noise from the dump valve it was quite hard to gauge the possible difference of 20 bhp,but I think you have confirmed my thoughts....anyway he seems to be very happy with it and it was not a bad little touch for £1800 in my pocket.

    Yeah thats not a bad price mate.I let m 1998 R reg with climate control,FSH,v.good condition A3 T sport go to his mate for £1720! Your fitter Steve did his best to convince me if was worth less than that,even as far to quibble over the £20 even though i came down from £1895

    But with regards to a 190 BHp ish A3, in a straight line it should keep up with a 210 Bhp S3 as the S3 weights more because of the Haldex system. The Gold A3 is a nice looking car though, just a shame about the suspension really as it rattles quite bad now Did it when you had it?

    rattled ,squeeked banged ,bumped ,all the leather chirped as much as the dump valve
    funny enough steve introduced the guy to me and he tried the same stunt on me but i just told him if i scrapped it to the government i could see £2000 for it .,so try again old son.
    But to be fair to stevie,he was just trying to do his mucka a turn and he had probably heard me at work telling another fella that I would be happy to see around £1450,but its principles and money was getting tighter.
