    Heating Controls

    Thank you for that update (and apologies for my delay in responding). I've got her to try that and the displays shows 'Climate Control Not Available' (or something like that), so that doesn't work for her (although that does work in my 22 plate A3). Holding the buttons in for a short period...

    Heating Controls

    So this is a new one. Add it to the list of things that are broken and don't work (on my wifes 8Y, 21 Plate A3 S-Line Sportback) Anyone else experienced this? Pressing the Climate control upwards to increase the temperature, does nothing on either side of the car. Remains at whatever the...

    Parking sensors

    Same thing on my Wifes 22 Plate A3. Some days it works, some days it doesn't. Only workaround she finds is checking if it's greyed out before setting off. Turning the engine on and off and checking, if still greyed out, on and off again, eventually it works! This is one of MANY electrical...

    Intermittent rear parking sensor issue

    It is a joke isn't it. You couldn't make it up. My wifes A3 she's had since May 2021. It's been back to the workshop five times for software related issues and updates and none of those have fixed the reversing sensor. If you can't write the software for your hardware, then don't say it has a...

    Intermittent rear parking sensor issue

    It does make me laugh. Audi are currently advertising on TV a Concept Car of the future, self driving, full of electronics that make life easier (with a caveat that the car is a concept and you can't buy it, nor is it on the horizon). I would rather Audi spend their money fixing fault on cars...

    Intermittent rear parking sensor issue

    Didn't see that, we have to go into Car > Parking Aid and change the setting from Low / Medium / High to something else, then set it back to Medium and then it works again, until the next time it decides to crap out (usually when reversing into a tight spot when you need it most!)

    Intermittent rear parking sensor issue

    My Wife's 8Y has started doing something similar. On a couple of occasions over the last two months, one day it's working and the radio volume dips when in reverse, and beeps as nears any obstacles as expected .. but then suddenly, the next time, no warnings, nothing, the radio stays at normal...

    Faraday Signal Blocker Pouch ..

    I did read somewhere (i forget where) that the new 8Y's have added technology that 'kill' the key signal if it's not moved for a while - but whether that is on Keyless Entry models, not the standard Keyless Start ONLY models. Like you say, I was under the impression that it's cars with...

    Faraday Signal Blocker Pouch ..

    My new S-Line (22 - 8Y) does not come with Keyless Entry, but does have Keyless Start. Read a couple of conflicting comments, but is it still necessary/recommended to use a Faraday Signal Blocker Pouch to store the keys for this kind of Keyless Start ONLY ?? My head is telling me no, as...

    Premium Fuel v Supermarket

    Thanks all for the replies. I did succumb and having taken delivery of the car yesterday, I've filled her up with a tankful of Shell V Power E5 as a treat (at 202p p/l I won' t be doing that very often!) .. I'll then stick to Shell/BP E10 as they're the nearest stations past Morrisons...

    Premium Fuel v Supermarket

    I always thought E10 was E10 and whether it's from a Shell garage or a Tesco forecourt, it's the same thing from the same tankers?! (I am sure that since the switch to E10, i dont get the same performance in MPG)

    Premium Fuel v Supermarket

    What the' general feeling amongst you all, around premium fuel (such as Shell V Power), compared to standard fuel (normally get mine from ASDA or Morrisons). Specifically looking in relation to your A3's (8Y). Is the price premium for Shell V Power for instance worth it over supermarket...

    A3/S3 delivery lead time?

    Funny thing is, you will probably order your MY22 now, and it'll arrive after they've announced the MY24s at this rate!

    Post Pics Of Your A3/S3 8Y In Here

    Gorgeous colour. Love how Navarra Blue just changes depending on the lighting .. colour just pops in the sun, so bright and metallic, on cloudier darker skies, looks more darker and navy blue. Can't wait to get mine. Got the wax and polish on standby!!!

    A3/S3 delivery lead time?

    Mine is now in Status 40 at Grimsby UK Port. So it's in the right country now! Dealer says about 7/10 days and can then arrange delivery. I've already been given my Registration Number, so almost here!

    A3/S3 delivery lead time?

    A3 Sportback, 35 TFSI 150 S-Line (Comfort & Sound Pack, Extended Interior Ambient Lighting, Navarra Blue, 18in 5-Y Spoke Diamond Cut Alloys) So nothing out of the ordinary really!

    A3/S3 delivery lead time?

    Sounds about right .. Mine was built in Week 11, it was only released from the factory late last week (18), so was almost eight weeks there, and is now in port, so another 2/3 weeks before the dealer gets it for onward delivery to me. So similar timeframe.
