    Facelift Brake Fluid Inspection Spanner

    My car is now coming up for 3 years old and the spanner has come up for the above service. I have already had the flexible service done. I recently had the car mot'd and asked for the brake fluid to be tested - it passed with flying colours and boiling bit they test was well above the limit. In...

    What a nice pair!

    Why have one, if you can have two! (they don't belong to me unfortunately)

    Facelift A3 Front Windscreen

    Unfortuneatley, during the recent cold spell, as a result of me using my fingertips (not nails as I don't have any!) to scatter the remainder of the frost particles off the screen (after I had already used deicer to soften the frost) it appears as though I have somehow managed to create two...

    2018 model year update

    Having just bought an A1 a few weeks back, I see Audi have increased the standard spec (some of the options such as cruise control and reversing sensors that I chose are now standard) but of course there is a sizeable price list increase - just goes to show you get owt for nowt"...

    Facelift "My Audi"

    Hi, don't know if this is the correct place to ask, but do not know where else to ask! I need to update my email address on the "my audi" website - however, when I go to my profile, log in data, there is no edit/update facility for the email address - although there is for the password. One...

    Rear Sensor Visual Display on MMI

    Although I have an A1, this question equally applies to you S1 er's and this forum seems to have more knowledge and volume of posts! We have the factory fitted rear only sensors so only have a beep beep noise whilst reversing. I believe the visual mmi display can be coded in via VCDS (but I do...

    What are these?

    Just noticed these on our rear suspension - I assume the upper foamy/rubbery bit is normal but what is the black plastic cone like thing with the loose label?

    Facelift Noise under braking whilst using ACC

    To you ACC users! Does anyone hear a clicking noise when Adaptive cruise control applies the brake automatically (when the car in front slowing down). The noise is from the driver side and it feels like the relay clicks when the car is slowing down and also I hear a whirring/chirping type of...

    Facelift Audi Connect Performance

    Hi - Has anyone noticed theirs either being slow to connect or saying "data service not available" (a reception issue?) or similar? I have only noticed this over the last week or so - it does seem to reconnect and work again but seems slower than in the past and seems to lose its connection in...

    Facelift Window marks

    Folks - I would like advice on how to remove the delivery sticker "imprint" from the windscreen (and rear window) - I only notice this when there is condensation inside - it disappears once the blower/air con is on but reappears every time it is cold inside the car! It is not residue/sticky but...

    A1 Sportback order placed

    Hi folks - I already have a FL A3 Sportback, so thought why not get an A1 ! - hopefully due for delivery in March - have specced 1.4TFSI 125 Sport, red with back contrast roof, comfort pack, folding mirrors and dynamic suspension - probably have a little time to change spec though, so if any...

    Facelift Exhaust fumes

    Hi - my 1.4TFSI Stronic seems to emit fumes/smoke/stuff out the back - it has only done approx. 700 miles - I know at this time of year it is often more noticeable but it seems to do it even though neighbouring cars in the traffic are not as much or at all. I have checked the oil level and no...

    Facelift Review A3

    Have not seen this one before - it is very detailed (although you can select the short version) http://www.vehiclecontracts.co.uk/ModelDetails/Audi-A3-new-2.0tdi cant see how to maximise the view though as it appears to be aimed at subscribers if you go on their website !

    Facelift Stronic clutch slip?

    On my 1.4TFSI, I don't know if it just me but in the last couple of days, it feels as if the revs are rising (a little) but with no obvious immediate acceleration - I can only describe it being like clutch slip in a manual gearbox and I don't remember it doing this before then? - I have only...

    Facelift Tyre Pressure settings

    I have a standard A3 Sportback with 17" 225/45/70/17/91Y tyres (bridgestone) but I am still a little puzzled about correct pressures - nearly all the time it is just me in the car and the car is rarely heavily loaded at other times - the attached sticker and page in manual gives 2 pressures -...

    Facelift Audi Connect Licence Period

    Folks - when I got my A3 a few days ago the licence period was shown as expiring on 20.9.17 (I had already mentioned this in my post in the pictures of your car section as below so I know it was correct then! "My connect licence says expires Sep17 - so looks like it is for 1 year but dealer was...

    Facelift Bridgestone Turanza T005

    My new A3 Sportback (which I will be picking up shortly) has the above tyres on - they are marked AO - Audi Original?? - I cant see a lot online about these tyres, although I can see quite a bit about the T001 - is the T005 the same (audi version) tyre as the T001? If not, any ideas where I can...
