APR Parts for the Audi RS3 & S3
APR is a long-established developer of performance hardware and software for Volkswagen Group vehicles, including the Audi S3 and RS3. This collection brings together APR parts listed for S3 and RS3 applications, spanning induction, charge pipework, braking, exhaust and chassis components. Many items are shared across related MQB platform models, so listings often reference both Audi and Volkswagen fitments.
Shop by Product Type
Induction: carbon fibre and PEX intake systems, turbo inlet systems, turbocharger inlet and adapter components, replacement intake filters and intake port covers.
Charge air and fuelling: intercooler systems, turbo outlet hoses and pipes, throttle body pipes and inlet systems, port injection kits and MPI injector kits.
Braking: front and rear Advanced Street brake pads, braided stainless steel brake line sets and 6-piston big brake kits in 370x34mm sizes.
Exhaust: cat-back exhaust systems for S3 Sedan and Sportback, RS3 Sedan/Sportback and exhaust valve remotes.
Chassis and engine bay: Roll-Control coilovers, sway bars and stabiliser bar end links, suspension control unit upgrades, carbon fibre engine covers and transmission catch can systems.
Choosing the Right Part
Audi S3 and RS3 generations are identified by chassis code. Common codes in these listings include 8P (older S3), 8V (S3 and RS3 from the Mk7 Golf era) and 8Y (current-generation S3 and RS3). Some parts also reference the related TT RS (8S) or Volkswagen Golf GTI/R (Mk7, Mk7.5, Mk8) because they share the same engine or platform.
Engine family matters as well: 2.0T EA888.3 and EA888.4 four-cylinder parts are not interchangeable with 2.5T five-cylinder RS3 parts. Check the engine code, build year, body style (Sedan or Sportback) and transmission where the title specifies them, and compare against your own vehicle's compliance plate and build details before ordering.
Installation & What You'll Need
Fitment complexity varies widely across this range. Intake filters, engine covers and remotes are generally straightforward, while big brake kits, coilovers, charge pipe systems, injectors and sway bars require vehicle-specific tooling, correct torque procedures and, in some cases, brake system bleeding or wheel alignment afterwards.
Installation by a professional workshop is recommended. Always follow the manufacturer's supplied instructions, and note that some components may affect your vehicle's compliance with road and insurance requirements in your state or territory.
FAQ
Will S3 parts fit an RS3? Not always. The S3 uses a 2.0T four-cylinder and the RS3 a 2.5T five-cylinder, so many parts are model specific. Check the chassis code and engine listed in the product title.
Why do listings mention Volkswagen Golf models? The Audi S3 shares the MQB platform and EA888 engine family with the Golf GTI and Golf R, so APR lists a single part number across those applications.
What does 8V or 8Y mean? They are Audi chassis codes identifying the generation of the A3/S3/RS3 family, used to confirm fitment.
