Does anyone know what size options I would have if I went for a set of steel wheels with winter tyres? Currently I have 235/35-19.

Hi I have a 2023 A3 saloon black edition s-tronic. Has anyone got any tips for driving in the snow? Its not quattro and is an absolute nightmare. I had to get pushed out my work car park tonight and it was barely on a slope at all. As soon as I hit snow I just spin. Even going up a slip road...

Ill try it once the rains off! How do I remove the cap on the door handle where the lock is? Ive tried pitting key in the slot underneath but its solid?

Thats not in my owners manual, and theres nothing at all about if the key stops working. Ive spoke to the dealer and apparently when the car was in they recoded a control unit but didnt do the 2nd key so will need to be done

Yeh it wont unlock or lock the car

Hi My 2021 A3 remote fob has stopped working. I checked in the MMI info and it says there is only 1 key programmed to the vehicle. The car has recently been in the garage for some work and a software update but just noticed my other key doesnt work. Is this something I could solve myself or will...

Hi I was just wondering if it is possible to change the UK region of my radio in my 2021 A3? I live in Scotland but would like other radio stations which I know are only available in certain regions. Is this possible to do? Thanks

Hi My pre sense light flashed on the other morning when i started up the car but went off again. Is this normal? Im reversed pretty close to my garage door and the house wall, could it just be picking this up or does it only work from the front? Maybe dirt on the sensors? Where abouts are they...

Took the car into dealer today to have the other ongoing warranty work looked at again. They have scanned it for the fault. Apparently the turbo has gone and needs replacing. £1100!!! Weird thing is the car has been stuttering and lacking power since Ive had it. It was reported and I was told it...

The light only comes on if I rev it hard. Otherwise the light isnt on but revs are limited. Is there a way to clear/reset it or does it need plugged in? Its due in the dealer tomorrow for some ongoing warranty work but this new issue wont be covered as warranty ran out in September.

Hi Whilst driving down the road today the EPC light came on and said revs max limit 4000rpm. Any ideas what this could be? Its a 2017 A3, s tronic, only 23,000 miles, never had any issues with it. The car has only been used once since christmas eve because of the snow we’ve had, dont know if...

Thats what I cant find....how to manually scan. Doesnt matter anyway just found it its not in my region this year!!!

Yeh its weird. I know Heart Xmas is on DAB but its not on in the car. Unless car radios work different

Hi Is there any way to retune/scan for different stations on my radio? Some stations are not showing up but are on my other radios. Is there an option anywhere to manually search, or scan for new stations? Its a 2017 model

Cars just out of dealers again for ongoing issues. I think the brakes seem to be noisy/grindy all the time not just when been sitting or wet but apparantely this is “normal and is surface rust which once driven will dissapear”. They dont seem to listen. Also a rattling noise from drivers window...
