The brake updates were free of costs in Germany!
It's an update from Audi and they shouldn't bill you on that (my guess)

[MacD]

I was emailed today regarding what's been replaced,

New modified calipers
Discs
Pads

[Kelza]

Done no brake squeal

[Vito]

Get some really hard braking done now, mine at first felt crap but after stepping on the pedal few times really hard, they felt totally different.

 

Have you done the LC yet?

There's no decent roads around you to test the RS3 on.........  

[Kelza]

The problem is motorway is miles away and windermere is full of go slow touriests ,shap road is great whens the weathers good leading up to penrith ,plus i like to drive without a co driver ie girlfriend banging on in my ear drums ,as shes gets same day off ,this is hard to avoid...

[MacD]

Shap is  great road,  But ive found some equally great roads around the Lakes too.

I here a lot of you talking about launch control, im either doing it wrong or there is something wrong.

 

Press sport button

turn off traction ( no ESP button )

put gear selector in S

left foot hard on brake pedal & floor accelerator

 

what i get is the revs go up to 3000 then come back down to 1000 and when i release the brake there is a 1 second delay before it accelerates as normal.

 

AM I DOING SOMETHING WRONG??????

[MacD]

Are you keeping the accelerator to the floor with your foot?

 

Do this and release the brake with you left foot.    The revs obviously should max out at 3k when your foot is pressed to the floor

[MacD]

This is what mine does AFTER the software update.

 

The revs done stay at a constant 3k at all?

 

Obviously you've launched before Andy so you know how too,  So does it even launch now?

[Kelza]

MacD roads around Windermere are rubbish ,lake road is full of pot holes and most a&b roads are so tight ,I struggle to get through ,never mind a RS3

It doesn't look like you are doing anything wrong, I would suggest you to  pop down to your Audi dealer and get a technician  to try it.

Take it back to the dealers and ask them why it isn't launching anymore since the update, mine has had the update and the LC is fine !!!

[MacD]

Does seem strange that it doesn't hold the revs!

 

I know 'Swiss' said that earlier cars needed the LC update but this appears to have wiped it! 

[Moschops]

Car back, brakes done, just bedding them in. Although the interior squeaks it was also booked in for have returned !!! pants!!! 

 

Total cost they reckon about £2k per car...

 

Oh nearly forgot, car didn't need the lunch  launch control update...

Let me just get this right: You have to pay for the update?
Just posted it in our board, in Germany the update is definitly free of charge!
Currently you can even buy the update for 500€ at ebay!
