Appreciate the reply. That does sound strange, hope Audi can sort for you! I actually pulled out of buying the car as I do think it is still priced a bit high (even if approved used) as in two months time all of a sudden everyone will look at it as a 5 year old car. The issue I have is that I...

Not a Not at all appreciate the honesty. They want a decision from me today (yikes) and to be honest I have been looking for one with this spec for a while which is what has made it so difficult. I have had those thoughts about the Quattro before. In fairness I don't drive crazy more like...

Sorry yes they must have taken it down due to me having a deposit on it. It is the 2 litre tfsi Daytona grey - 30k miles. Original price Audi had it for was £18,990. They have a Black Friday event on at the moment with Listers which knocks £500 off the price to start with, so I took the price...

Hi, thanks for your thoughts. Do you think the price is high even with the the one I am looking at having sat nav, option wheels and the pearl grey paint? Cheers Chris

Hi I have been looking for a while at getting a TT as a change from my 10 year old A3 (which has been a cracking car). I have found one locally with a pretty decent spec (which I have put a deposit on) and have been working on deal with the garage - have almost got them to £18k for the car...

hi My car currently has an issue with the boot and it not registering to be closed - resulting in the alarm going off constantly. I have removed the boot lid trim and it doesn't seem to bad in terms of rust (I am aware of the common fault due to rear washer) but I will look to replace the lock...

Hello, Recently I had to have my car valeted which included my seats being shampooed however since returning the seats on my 3dr wont return to the original position when they are moved to access to the back seats? Anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it? Thanks Chris

Cheers mate, no issues starting. Will try the test you mentioned hopefully tonight. Just hoping it's not too expensive. Chris

Hello all, I have only had my car for a few months, it only has 47800 miles on and I seem to have a coolant leak. On saturday when driving the warning light came on and asked me to pull over to check coolant level. When I stopped it was below the minimum line so I topped it up to the max line...

Yes, i guess the only way to really find out is to test it myself. The garage seemed to think i would get similar out of it (load of rubbish i know) I dont do to many miles a month roughly around 700. so hopefully i can get that out of 2 tanks of petrol. We shall see. Chris

Thanks, I will do I pick it up tomorrow. Yeah I would be happy if I can get anywhere near 39 mpg out of it as the car is a petrol and weighs a lot more than the polo did.

Thanks for all your comments, I have decided to go ahead with the car. 5fifty5 what sort of MPG do you get as I know you mentioned it is better than you expected? Obviously i am expecting my costs to go up, i was just wondering whether anyone could provide me with more information as to how...

Thanks all my insurance has gone up by only 70 pounds so that's not to bad. Yes that garage have offered me a very good warranty which covers 12000 miles and even covers parts like the clutch etc which is a lot better than any warranty I have had before.

Hello, i am located in Worcester, just outside of Birmingham. I have had a look through some but was hoping for a summary answer as this would be a big investment for me. :) Chris

Hello there, Yesterday I put the deposit down on a 2009 audi a3 1.6l sport. I am now having second thoughts and seeking advice. The car is great I went to see it yesterday and for 8900 the garage are going to service, mot and tax the car. It has 44125 miles. The car drives fantastically well...
