    A3 S tronic major rollback issues?

    But you shouldnt have to.. Had 3 automatics, 2 being audis for the past 16 years and never had this problem. And tbf considering to go onto our "drive" where it is parked you have to go up a slope then its pretty dangerous that it drives itself up it. And its a very steep slope at that.

    A3 S tronic major rollback issues?

    I'm writing this on behalf of my mum who has just brought an Audi A3 58 reg 1.4tfsi sportsback S tronic. For the purpose of this question I will admit I have no idea whether it has hill park assist so for now I will assume it won't but in the handbook it says it does. The thing is when shes at...

    Audi A3 1.8TFSI Piston rings replacement cost?

    I think its over a litre as when mine was on the min I topped it up to the max and it was roughly 1.5 litres, thats only a guess though. I know when I put a litre in it wasnt enough

    Audi A3 1.8TFSI Piston rings replacement cost?

    Hope you get it all done under warranty then to make sure nothing crops up later on! I think the warranty covered mine but the Sytner would have covered it either way. I only got it back last week so I have no idea if the problem is fixed but I seriously hope so as the warranty runs out next...

    Audi A3 1.8TFSI Piston rings replacement cost?

    Hello. Mines currently still at Audi having a £3500 engne rebuild, should be under warranty but they want the engine stripping down just incase its wear and tear, which with my mileage, it definately isn't. Either way the warranty will cover it or failing that the garage where I had it from have...

    Looking for Audi A6 Avant luggage cover/parcel shelf.

    Hi, does anyone know where I could find a parcel shelf/boot luggage roller cover for an Audi A6 Avant 2000 reg (W)? I am struggling to find one on ebay as they are all for the A4's. It isn't a cover for the boot floor thats needed but rather the cover that covers your shopping etc thats used in...

    Audi A3 1.8TFSI Piston rings replacement cost?

    Maybe, I really don't know. All I know is they are doing the oil consumption test to see if the piston rings are worn. Hopefully if its turbo failure they will pick it up rather than just focusing on their inital thoughts like alot of places. And hopefully that would be covered under the warranty.

    Audi A3 1.8TFSI Piston rings replacement cost?

    Oh btw that car sales garage you know that sold the person that car, was that an Audi dealer or was it a similar case to mine where I brought it from a none audi dealer (although its still sytner) and Audi funded part of the cost?

    Audi A3 1.8TFSI Piston rings replacement cost?

    I don't actually know atm. My Audi Dealership are taking it on a 600 mile run to do the test. I had the car roughly 4-5 weeks and topped it up with a litre of oil (just over half way on the dipstick), probably did about 600-700 miles and then 6-7 weeks later (again anywhere between 500-700...

    Audi A3 1.8TFSI Piston rings replacement cost?

    Ah fair enough, thanks. For the goodwill I take it I speak to the service advisor about that or do I have to write to Audi? The problems definately been there since I had it and I will be complaining to Sytner Select who sold me the car as well. I can see the warranty company saying...

    Audi A3 1.8TFSI Piston rings replacement cost?

    How will I go about getting the goodwill? I didnt have it directly from Audi but a garage they deal in, as they're supposed to stock only the best used cars. Sorry for all the questions I'm just really knew to this.

    Audi A3 1.8TFSI Piston rings replacement cost?

    Audi A3 1.8TFSI Piston rings replacement cost?

    How do I prove it though? Obviously it has had the oil consumption problem because I've been topping it up. Like my service advisor said (And shes looked after me and my mum for 9 years, well my mum since I was like 14 then lol!) the warranty company might say its wear and tear because it...
