keep it serviced
wait till at least 80 deg for the oil before booting
change the windscreen washer jets to the A6 fan spray nozzles
use VW washer fluid even tho its expensive
clean and ceramic spray it every week :)

enjoy it

Hi

I had my 2019 S3 for a year

Loved every second of it

Had it chipped and made it even more fun

I'm currently getting my 19s refurbished I really love the look of them but living in Ireland the roads are shockingly bad so the 18s might stay on for a while . 235/35/19 swapped for 225/45/18 , I also changed a few things inside like that gear knob and red dials also got headrest from an A6 c7 made a huge difference in seat comfort ..
