    Please replace key fob battery

    Has anybody had to do this on their 8Y yet? Just got a warning today to replace my key fob battery, the car is a little over 1 year old… surely they aren’t only supposed to last a year? I’ve never had to replace a key fob battery in any of my cars before let alone and brand new one, doesn’t seem...

    Max engine speed warning?

    I've just had a warning flash up on my dashboard saying "Max engine speed 4000rpm", the check engine warning light came on and started flashing and the whole rpm gage went red. It only came on for about 5 seconds then went off again so I didn't manage to get a pic, but I found one online similar...

    Does anyone know the part number for the grey plastic side trim? I’ve scratched one of them and it needs replacing. If anyone can source the part could you give me a price?

    Car sickness?

    There is a somewhat weird phenomenon happening with my A3 in that everyone who seems to ride in it is getting car sick, and I mean mostly everyone, even people who don't even get car sick. It's 90% of the time in the back seats but I've had people feel sick in the front seat as well, even myself...

    Dashboard replacement?

    Just noticed a deep scratch in my dashboard, very deep you can put your nail in it… no idea where this has come from just noticed it today, so say in ****** off is an understatement. Is interior damage covered on the warranty? Looks like the entire silver piece will need replacing…

    Start/Stop Electrical Whine?

    Has anybody noticed an electrical whine noise coming from the vehicle when the engine starts? Sounds similar to a squeaky brake pad. I think it's coming from under the drivers seat in the MHEV system so I assume it's normal, although I don't remember hearing it in any of the test drives I did...

    A3/S3 delivery lead time?

    Ordered my new A3 in January with a whole load of options, although I was previously advised i'd be looking at a June delivery, I have been assigned build week 28 which is mid-July, so will be looking at delivery mid-August... Seems like an excessively long wait, but I assume it's down to Covid...

    Why do you hate the new A3/S3 8Y?

    I see this forum very much has a marmite love/hate attitude towards the new 8Y, in-fact I can see it all over the internet. So i'd like to start a discussion about what it is you hate/dislike about the new 8Y... Personally, I love it! I think it's definitely an improvement over the 8V...
