Aw ok thanks Styxz - I didn't realise QST was closed and thought it may have been someone else handling the forum input. Kim informed me last month that the 8V S3 M-Cantronic couldn't be reprogrammed for the RS3 but the QST poster above says it can!

 

I'm so confused - in Audi tuner it did say the RS3 M-Cantronic was still being developed so maybe this is a new development - fingers crossed!

Kim has the m-cantronic in his car, and I have had it since end of Nov. It had been out just a very short while before then and MTM dropped the price by about 700 quid just as I had mine installed which made my decision as I was still in two minds as I was driving up to QST!

I don't know which I'd go for to be honest mate the car don't arrive for 4 months and it wouldn't be something I'd do straight away, I think it would come down to my long term plans for the car I am toying with the idea of keeping this one long term but I'm also thinking about upgrading to something like an RS5 after, I would ask the guys on here like Sully and Pat who seem like they know their stuff on tuning

ayup bramosh - the wife has an RS5 - and I think it drives like tank compared to my RS3.
Big heavy car, and in my view a bit cumbersome.
Doesn't handle anything like as good as the 3.
Really sexy looking car though, and an awesome engine. You think the 3 is thirsty though

My Dad had an S5 when they were first released and I fell in love with it, I like the big cars sexy and sleek, I almost bought a A7 3.0TDI Black, Black Edition which is a beautiful beast was drooling over that when popped into the dealer the other day, immense interior, changed my mind and bought the RS3 for the raw power with 4 doors, never had a petrol before only diesel so had to experience it. When I get rid of the RS it will be for something like the A7 or A5 preferably the RS versions but if the wife has her way it could be Q5/Q7 .

Had nothing but great service from Kim. It just seems that QST is a bit of a one man band and all the knowledge is with Kim and he cant do everything.

 

Definitely fitting springs though QST is too far to go.

 

I'll hope to fit a M-Cantronic (if I can confirm if my hardware is reprogrammable). If not i'll try the DTUK stuff unless I can sell my 8VS3 MTM

 

and, my MTM bimotos will be going on too!

Some photos of the 3 x RS3's at QSTuning today....

Notice the different ride heights :)


Would the headlights need adjusting after the drop? With them being LED not sure how the lowering springs will affect the lights?

Apparently not. I noticed no difference in the headlights on the way home.

Earth calling Qstuning.com

Can my existing 8V S3 M-Cantronic be sent back and reprogrammed for my imminent 8V RS3?

Thanks,

N


Hi, Alex here. Sorry I made a mistake, your M-Cantronic can be re-programmed for another S3 8V or Golf 7R. Unfortunately not for the RS3. Apologies for the confusion.

Hi Alex,

Are you sure? Have you checked this specifically with MTM as the hardware looks identical. If not can you comment on the cost of reprogramming it for an 8VS3 or a Golf R so I can advertise it for a realistic price.

As I said previously ~£1500 and now potentially worth £750 - £Reprograming cost :-/


Hi, 100% sure. Checked with MTM and the hardware and loom are totally different from the S3 to the RS3. I apologise for the confusion. As said above £400+VAT to reprogram your M-Cantronic to work on another S3, 7R or a Cupra R.
