My bad! Its AWD of course
Thanks for clarifying!
Anyway, love your content, especially all the older cars or unique project cars you show
It clearly says "quattro" on the passenger airbag. :D
To be technically correct, it's a Haldex system, which is FWD until the front wheels start to lose traction, then it transfers some power to the rears.
In normal driving it's basically FWD.
Haldex AWD is not actually ‘proper’ all-wheel drive. AWD systems refer to drivetrains in which all 4 wheels are permanently driven. Due to loss of traction etc, these systems may apportion additional torque to wheels with more traction, sometimes even up to 100% of the torque, leaving certain wheels temporarily un-driven, but their standard setup drives all wheels of the vehicle.
For that reason, Haldex is not all-wheel drive, but is instead four-wheel drive (4WD). As Haldex is based on transverse-mounted FWD systems, the default setup for Haldex AWD drives the front wheels only. When wheel-slippage is detected, the Haldex computer systems redirect torque to the rear wheels to compensate for the loss of traction at the front. Upon launching a Haldex-equipped vehicle, power will generally be directed rear-wards for additional grip, however under regular driving circumstances, Haldex equipped vehicles will operate as front-wheel drive only.
Why you don’t show the draggy times ?
@@DjNikGnasherstorsen>haldex
The inside is in an absolutely mint condition wow!
You cannot see that from a simple film. Scratches or other damage is not visible through a fisheye lens. The footage is filtered, same as faces and skin that are really soft. Believe me: all interiors are used at this milage.
The only way they get them look ‘new’ again is by using these oily cleaners which leave a shiny residue, but this disappears after a week.
@@NollekeuhYou're right, but my interior actually looks brand new
@@Nollekeuh True - but the interior still holds up very well. Had a '98 A3 with 200000km with no proper history and a bunch of engine-related gremlins, but the interior looked and felt great. The material itself just holds up well and hides minor scratches and doesn't fade.
@@Nollekeuh idk but i had a golf 4 of the same era and same material and kms. But this one looks really nice. you cant clean that. This car has been redone, so yes he is right, it does look very mint
this interior ages well, had a 2.8 vr6 leon which comes with the same interior and it was really good
I have a 2000 S3 my self, I have mods so it has around 300hp and delivers tons of fun every day. Mine has 270000km on it. Still mint condition inside and outside.
🙌🏼💯
Hola! El mio es de enero del 2000 y tiene 267.000 km y perfecto. Es un grandísimo coche
Aged so well. Even the interior is nice.
can't say the same for my vr5's interior trim pieces in those old vws are trash
Such a nice analogue car. I love the tactile buttons, the simplicity, and minimal computerisation.
Well that's Audi quality for you...assuming the speedo's accurate, of 238kph was its advertised top speed, I think we did indeed see 238 at least once. Moreover, the thrusting torque of that 1.8T engine is still impressive today - absolutely nothing wrong with how that thing picked up speed whatsoever!!👍
Speedometers in german cars are very likely to show more than you actually go, because of german laws, automakers are required to make the speedometer show a higher speed than what you are really driving
@@that_escalated_quickly2720 No, not required, but it's easier for the automakers. Going below in any conditions would be penalized harshly. Also secondly, mechanical speedometers will fail at higher speeds, and if it shows 240kmh, you are going like 225kmh.
@@msg5359 if I take the average of your reply and thatescalated's I m happy enough it reached 238
@@that_escalated_quickly2720 according to msg it's the reverse but as I said to him the average of the two of you means it's likely that the speed was on point!😏
@@mrkiplingreallywasanexceed8311 They said they make it go faster, and i said that they do not go below. Just opposite reverse, but we both agree that the actual speed is lower than what is shown. :D
Audi interiors meant to last forever. This still looks so clean, it’s amazing ❤
One of the best engines ever built. VW Group's 1.8T. Best engine I had a privilege to own. Good old days gone forever...😢
To be fair this little motor has been discontinued for 20 years now 😅 It's the best engine Audi/Volkswagen has ever produced in terms of reliability. One of the best sounding too
had my mk4 gti with that aum 1.8t .. and the gearbox .. man what a first car to own :)
@@alexpopa4064 Mine was AUQ 👌
My B6 A4 1.8t Avant has 600,000 Kms on it. Original motor, I’ve have to change the turbo twice, and the heater core went out years back, but other than that, it’s been an incredibly strong car.
Wait until the 2.3E enters the chat
Beautiful looking still. Inside and out. Incredible - testament to Audi engineering that it’s lasted so well 👍🏻
Old but Gold
I had 2000 Audi s3 yellow I really missed it. Too much fun.
Had a 2004 Cupra R with the same engine (and dashboard funnily) for a few years; engine was rock solid and still managed its claimed 0-100 and top speed.
1.8 20vt, one of the best engine made by audi
Great to see this video. I have the same car from the same year in Imola yellow :) such an amazing vehicle!
Marvelous sounding beast.
Marvelous sounding? Wouldn't go that far but it definitely doesn't sound bad.
Sounds like it's got an aftermarket intake
sounds mediocre like any turbo'd i4
Sounds like any other inline 4 turbo.. boring as fuck..
@@trobi no the 1..8t has a loud stock intake. Its the same on my mk1tt
i love your channel, hopefully one day i can grow my audience as much as you, keep up the great content!!!!
Great car, I had one myself years ago. Simple and good technology from VW/Audi, much better than the new TSI junk. Too bad about the black non-original rims.
Personally, I like the black ones better, I have the originals as snow tires :)
I'm proud to be able to say I'm a owner of a 2000 s3 in mint condition. 1st owner had it up to 2018 and did all the services at the dealership. 2nd owner had it from 2018 till 2022 and was an absolute car guy (like me) he overhauled everything and everything with original parts some from audi tradition. Now I got a s3 in a great healthy condition. And payed a good price because it has also almost 250k on it... but it's all about how the car were treated and maintained.
I got it remapped and a downpipe and it is now making 272hp & 420nm (stock was 221hp/288nm so pretty healthy)
The prices at Audi Tradition has been increased heavily and some parts for A3/S3 8L aren't available anymore.
Man, this was my dream car growing up. I remember wanting the S3 8L in Imola Yellow when everybody else was wanting an M3 or Kadett TS. I told them, one day Audi would rise to the very top because of their approach to engineering. That golden era was not far off with the late 2000s and early to mid 2010s one of Audi's golden eras IMO. I never got this car, but I did end up with a set of A6s a C5 2.5TDI Avant, and a C6 2.7TDI -as well as a 4.2TDI Q7 - all beautiful vehicles in their own right BUT my dream would be to find an S3 from this generation in good nick - because only then the dream would be fulfilled 😊😎
I drove a Golf3 GTI 16V in my youth, but the S3 8L was my dream. ultimately bought 15 years later as a weekend car. Nogaro blue with blue recaro's. With a 3 inch exhaust and some engine work, this is a really nice car.
@@olivierstevens4134 Haha, awesome man, dream fulfilled!! 😎☺ That GTI was also a beautiful car too, a lot guys didn't like the extra bulk it came with - but with a front and rear bumper kit and a good set of rims, man was it good-looking in my book.
The text in the video states it's FWD, but I'm pretty sure all 8L S3's were quattro, even the 210hp version. That plus 6 speed in the 8L only came with quattro. So is it an editing error or did someone really convert it to FWD lol
You can tell when he launches it... it is awd. 👍
Yeah got me confused also 😂 S models can't be fwd was my first thought 😅
@@x...CrankyOldMan...x Yeah, it did look like a decent launch, especially for a stock 1.8T, but a FWD with sticky tyres could get a similar result (speaking from experience, I have a mildly tuned FWD 1.8T A3) Can't make out the 0-100 time on the dragy app in the video, but It's roughly 7-7.5s, similar to what I was getting in my 210hp FWD Octavia, also with a 1.8T
I know it is probably a quattro, just asking out of curiosity
Four Wheel Drive 😊
Haldex, not quattro😊
Looks like a clean car for 250.000 km 👌
That's a beautifully maintained car.
Not really a fan of Audi but that little S3 is 🔥. To be fair, these late 90s early 00s cars were pretty cool and actually quite understated. Also, decent sound for a 4 cylinder, like it 👌.
I had an Audi S3 8L in Nogaro blue with blue alcantara interior. I had it stage 1 tuned with an intake, exhaust and downpipe, that thing pushed to the end of 6th gear, which was roughly 270 Km/h per the speedometer. Loved that car and miss it dearly.
I still have one 😄. Nogaro with the blue interior. for me personally it is a must for the s3 for some engine work and a 3 inch exhaust with valve to make it really fun.
The 3 door A3 and the TT are the only Audis I find appealing.
I drove this type Audi S3 as a youngtimer! Perfect daily.
One of my fav cars at those times.
Have the Same Engine love it every Day Kickdown still going Strong 1.8t ❤
It was permanent AWD and this thing was a rocket back in time, compared to the other cars in traffic. In the FL with 225hp even slightly faster. Good condition though!
Not permanent
OH AND THE PRE FACELIFT INTERIOUR. Beautifull
thanks for testing my s3
Good sounding 4 cylinder. 👍
I am missing captions with acceleration times. What's the point of showing 0-100 acceleration with Dragy and not publish the time? 100-200 time is published only in a table where some results are without link to the video so one can't be sure what car was measured. Sorry guys, your content and cars showed on this channel are unique, but to put all the effort to record, measure, edit and upload the video and not add simple captions or Dragy screen capture into it is beyond my understanding. It's also a thing of promotion of Dragy to show the measurement in more detailed way. My Dragy is from your shop too btw.
I 100% agree. It looks like the car did a 7.2 from what I can tell from zooming in
Great ! Can you drop audi s3 8p now ? 🔥🙏
Can you pls make a video with the S3 8p
Doing 200+ km/h in there looks terrifying haha, insane that it can still accelerate so efficiently and top out even after all that wear
The steeringwheel looks so much better than the new ones from Audi...
Looks like it still drives as tight as a drum max? Don't think it's standard, it must of had a map at least to get it there to that speed, as I owned a 6 month old one back in 2001.
Verdorie, nu wil ik er een :) Ik denk dat een gechipte Zafira a opc even snel is maar uiteindelijk blijven het prachtige auto's die mij veel meer doen dan de nieuwe auto's. Jeugdsentiment?
Had One, a 225 in dark grey, but mine with 290hp was pushing harder then this, so i think maybe the rubber pipes on the intake are collapsing under load restricting the air flow... Happened to me, used some Forge silicon pipes and the car was transformed in 5th and 6th Gear... The compression of the stock Rubber pipes only really happens on strong load in top gears...
Beautiful car 🎉
this 1.8 liter its a very strong engine respect the 2.0 TFSI of next gen
Believe it or not my 2001 november manufactured Mondeo mk 3 with NA 2 litre petrol engine made that. Have been to 240 km/h and not full throttle because of heavy traffic. A bit downhill but not much. Ones the same in a storm.
its for sale ? how much ????
Every S3 is Quattro haldex. Not FWD.
By the way - i am lucky owner of S3 8L 2002r with some little mods ~270Hp and it hits 265km/h on speedo and 248km/h GPS with 400.000km
The Owner really took care of this car, the Interrior still looks stunning
Oh I had exactly the same back in the 2000's one of my first cars❤😭 (but phase 2)
I found that fast at that time
Beautiful condition!
Amazing car
I'd one of this. I miss it
Por que está encendida la luz de ESP?
Nice!
My A6 has 290 000 km and has a limiter of 242 km/h and i hit it every day 😊
What engine?
@@nimamahdavi5592 3.0 tdi 2006 is the car
The red I30n didn't want to lose😁
hoe kan het tot zijn top maar op 238 km/u zit ? mijn audi s3 8l apy 210pk had een top van 265 km/u
On my 1.9TDI ALH 2001(bone stock) the top speed is 181. I was able to pull 170-175( If my speedo is correct). I can say that was pretty good for a 23 years old car.
Rockin cut off Jean shorts in a 2000 s3 😎
Pls do Subaru Impreza Wrx or 2.0rs gc8
Car of the balkans
Upload more tuned diesel
I am sure even Vin Diesel and Jason Statham are jealous of autoTopNL
We need the gps view back :((
My old Megane Phase 1 with the Clio Williams Engine goes over 230 kmh too, with only 147 HP 😅
Yes mate still have a💪🚀
What was the the dragy 0-100? The car looked to be moving quite well for what it is...
Idk this guy wont learn to show these 0-100 and 100-200 Times...
Car seems to fast for 210hp. I believe something's done to it.
@@AERONOOB its slow.
@@add3722 lol
BS. It rather fast to 100 for that kinda power.
Lovely car!! Unfortunately since you wasn't on GPS you won't ever know. What it's reading on the speedo won't be accurate.... they never are, only accurate at lower speeds because they need to be. Great video tho, I enjoyed it
🐐
i have an a6 c5 2.8. And that car be kinda ugly too drive over 190kmh. I starts feeling really funky around 200. Kudos to you!
Why NOT show the dragy times?🤔
Nice 👍
Reach 400 kmh wIth NO DRAG !
I have my Audi A4 B6 1.9tdi 96KW and it stull runs as new :D No corrosion no dents nothing :)) taking good care of her :D 260 000 km
Do a clk 200 184 ps
Audi for ever 😍♥️🦎🦎🦎💣💥💪😎
Classic
pants changed real quick
Man, it's time you put the car's weigh in the car display
Bro, my old Audi A3, FWD, 1.9 TDI, 130hp, over 300 000 km, still does 210-220 :D
AUTOS DE LA EPOCA DE ORO
i had this car 6 years.I had 304 hp and 420nm.Max speed 292 km/h.
Why FWD? Haldex off?
The haldex is in normal conditions always fwd.
You are wrong, its FWD but the drive shaft rotates all the time and there are losses in the drive, its no like classic AWD
The more screens new cars get the more you appreciate the old stuff. Simplicity and minimalism before cars became iPads on wheels
My car audi a3 8l 130 hp 310 nm 100km\h 9.1s nice 😅😊
Honda s2000 car top speed do bro 👍🤩
those are one of the last German cars that were made relatively reliable, by the way.
yes
This Audi now maybe 180 hp with these kilometers and with this turbo in this condition but still accelerates very well. Bravo..
bullshit. I bet if you throw this on a dyno it will still make around 210hp.
1.8T is very reliable.
@@dyren7437 Hahaha you think that 1.8 T will gave the same power after 252.000 km... You are just dreaming. I bet you everything that after these kilometers it's impossible to give 210 hp. Max. 190 hp 😉. When you use it one thing, it wears out. This is the law of physics
Pretty much every VW I've owned gives at least book figures at high mileage, usually more. As the engines loosen up with age they give more power than when they are new or ' tight' which overshadows any slight compression loss that may have occured
Is it just me or i reckon that isn't a stock one... at least the intake has been changed :/
Where are the results?
Almost 150 mph, not bad for a 23 year old with over 150,000 miles on it!
Twin turbo beauty…😢
Audi❤
Esta nuevo pero le suena el turbo
my old bmw still did these speeds after 400.000km
So no then, speedo would be quite a bit out at those speeds. Why have the dragy on if no actual speeds shown and acceleration times????? Becoming the normal now not to show a cars performance on AutotopNL. That was why many subscribed in the first place imo.
Kerosine starts playing 💀
what stands '8L' for?
That’s the name given to this generation of the A3
FWD S3? I know its haldex but still XD
After all this, running at 100 km/h feels like you're standing still.
S3 8L is the best Audi S car ever
I have the A3 180cv and I think s3 is so heavyweight 😅
