    Hi, as my 45tfsie is on a lease, they request one of 3 tyres are fitted. Goodyear (cant remember which, continental contisport and another i cant remember. Anyone else have these? They are near the wear limit but for the past few months they have been shocking, easily lose grip when wet and...

    Can I stop the engine going to idle?

    Vaguely remember seeing somewhere having the aircon on + battery regen keeps the engine running. I use this more often than not. Still occasionally coasts but not as much. Mpg will drop to low 30s mind

    What I don’t like about my A3

    I don't like the rear camera going faulty. Only comes on for 1 reason, and that's quite needed at the time! It's rare so living with it till 1st service

    B&O rear sub wet fart noise

    2/3 is pretty much where I limit max volume. The noise is noticeable even very low. Once work isn't manic I'll take it in, I'd be surprised if its my doing, I've never blown even a standard sound system, a premium one should take a beating

    B&O rear sub wet fart noise

    Bit of a strange one, but it does sound a bit odd. Can't hear it inside the cabin, only noticed recently while car was running and went into the boot to grab something, music was cranked up at all and could still hear what sounds like a wet fart. Not sure if it might be partly blown (that would...

    I got a stock car, didn't spec a build. On my spec it shows standard suspension, initially was quite high but has settled a bit now. Still looks like caves around the wheel arches :(
