I've been running the Continentals on my current S5, the S3 before that and the GLI before that. Everyone will have different opinions, but I love them. Excellent dry traction, good wet, decent snow. I run my S5 once a year at a track and they do great there too.
Yes, they have a lot of buildup and deposits. Make sure you get that exact spark plug again same brand everything don't put anything other than the NGK that originally came with
3500 ! For me that's less than twice a year tho. And always change the filter so I can inspect it for debris.
I also use liquimoly 4200 top tech in my 2022 rs3
Do a mid cat delete first thing. Easy and cheap mod and brings some better sounds to the exhaust without triggering the cel.
Do the resonator delete asap
I used to have Continental Audi OEM tire shit in the rain but quiet and energy efficient.
im running XP10s... so far this set up is amazing, the braking is strong initial bite with little fade. Just take in consideration that this Carbotech pads are modular which means you will have a slight longer pedal travel than normal. And yes they are super noisy, when i drive it on the street i try to be careful with my braking and not feather the brakes, that will make then literally screech and grind the rotors, instead i try to brake a bit harder than usual to get a good bite and then let go of the brake once i stoped (put the car in neutral most of the time or creep forward little by little to releave some heat).
About a month ago, I kept getting the “Engine Coolant Too Hot — Pull over and let engine idle” error. It would literally come on for a split second then disappear. On one occasion, I noticed that the coolant was low so I topped it off. The error went away for about a week, then came back. This time, though, it remained on and the thermostat actually crept up. I dropped that thing off at the dealer so fast… four days later they tell me that the water pump has started to fail and that one of the solenoids had started leaking coolant.
I have that exact car and it came with those Hankooks. They’re just junk tires. Mine lasted 30k miles and the tread ripped off one of them.
