Cool, I suspected I can hoon with a good reason now. Watch me destroy the dsg next.
The A3 is so unsatisfying to thrash though. I really want to sell the thing but don't want to until VAG pay for a new engine.

Some ECUs will record the amount of time at max rpm, so might be worth checking that first, rather than have them then use that against you.

I seem to vaguely remember a story about Audi’s consuming excess oil in the USA. It was the subject of a law suit. I had presumed that Audi had sorted the issue out. The figure was 1 litre of oil per 1000 miles. Might be worth a google. A known fault should be less hassle for them to adrrsss. .

Give it the Italian tune up. Full power, max RPM, hold it on the governor in second. Basically drive it round like a Royal Mail transit for a bit.
