    At the end of the pcp term, do Audi give you the equity after the gfv is cleared?

    No you’ll have to clear what the settlement figure is though - GFV only kicks in if negative equity as far as I understood it

    At the end of the pcp term, do Audi give you the equity after the gfv is cleared?

    Well yes they will offer an amount to buy it off you and if it exceeds the settlement figure then they will give you the difference, I sold a car back to them once - If it's worth less than the settlement figure then the GFV should kick in

    Vorsprung vs Black Edition with Tech Pack Pro

    Looking at the spec for a Vorsprung it says Manual Compartment Lid, so it looks like they've taken away the electronic tailgate

    At the end of the pcp term, do Audi give you the equity after the gfv is cleared?

    If you trade it in they will transfer the equity across to a new one - If you're just settling then you just settle the figure and keep the car

    Res delete on S3 on pcp

    Well I would have thought it would invalidate any warranty, that is related to those changes - Obviously the exhaust itself would come with a warranty from that manufacturer, but if you had say engine trouble and it was contributed to that change, then I would suspect Audi wouldn't cover that

    8Y vs. Golf 8, build quality

    I think it's because you'll need them quickly they moved them to there - There's definitely room for some physical buttons that's for sure and my S3 8Y 2020 were hardly taking up any space - I agree that the 8Y isn't as good as the 8V at clearing though and now that the patent has finished with...

    8Y vs. Golf 8, build quality

    The Cupra has the Demist and Heated Rear Screen on the light switch cluster so you don't have to go into the screen for that - Does the Golf not have that option

    8Y vs. Golf 8, build quality

    Thought I read the new golf 8.5 is going back to buttons on the steering wheel - I have a Cupra with the touchscreen (buttons on the steering wheel) and to be honest the sliders (mine don't light up the new ones do I believe) are easy to find without taking your eyes off the road just feel for...

    Face lift A3 2024

    It has 33 more BHP and torque splitter for better handling but 0-60 is 4.7 - is that the same?

    You can order them with Black now if not a black edition - They're in the accessories

    Face lift A3 2024

    I agree there used to be a 190BHP 2 Litre that you could get in the Golf or Cupra, but Audi couldn't get the engine so pulled it and have never brought anything back So 1.5 or S3 it appears

    Face lift A3 2024

    Exactly by the time you choose a colour and add the Tech Pack Pro to get the Matrix headlights and a couple of other bits well over £50K which is madness - The RS3 Carbon Black is £66K with add ons when I last speced one out of curiosity and like someone else said you used to get them for what...

    Do you need to maintain the nappa leather seats?

    Not so sure it's as bad as it was but they tend to stretch a little - I have to say though that the 8Y S3 Sport Seats are different to the 8V Leather Seats and may not stretch but I'm just going by my experiences over the years and my friend is an Audi Mastertech and he said that they stopped...

    Do you need to maintain the nappa leather seats?

    I used the Auto Finesse Cleaner and Conditioner on my 8V Leather Seats - Did bring them up nicely It will help if you clean them but if you use the heated seats a lot you'll never stop the stretching and Audi won't cover them under the warranty - Nappa leather better than the leather they used...
