    Very hot weather tdi 185 squealing briefly

    As an update, got back home no issues at all apart from the fact I want to send Motorway diversions to Room 101! Driving for over 12 hours yesterday getting back from Burgundy! Car didn’t miss a beat after the squealing, I’m wondering if the noise was the Air-Con belt, anyway we kept stopping...

    Very hot weather tdi 185 squealing briefly

    Hi folks, So we’re just driving back from France and have been driving about 2 hrs with outside temps of 37/38. It’s forced unfortunately as I’d have preferred to drive in cooler temps. Now we pulled over to swap drivers and once stopped could hear a squealing that sounded like a belt maybe? So...

    Interesting so that was £300 to activate and put you on the latest maps I assume?

    How ready is my satnav?

    Hi, bought my car last year, 64 plate S-line, so the satnav finds satellites but that is all. I noticed that the car does have one Audi SD card in the slot in the glovebox however the car doesn’t recognise it at all. From anyones experience can you advise how ready my car is to activate the...

    Heater blowing cooler on one side.

    I bought a 2014 S-line with this issue and it was a warranty job, defrost flap motor and heater matrix. Full dashboard out job for the flap motor. If I turned off climate control and directed the air using the buttons you could feel a definite difference on the drivers side not blowing warm...

    Well thought I’d update this thread, as everyone was so helpful. So the car is back from Audi, the Toyota garage I bought it from had the warranty work of heater matrix and defrost flap motor approved and I actually haven’t checked the coolant level which I’ll do in the morning but the drivers...

    New Scuba blue A3 TDI184

    Thought I’d provide an update… So the car went into Audi and their diagnostics brought up the defrost flap motor and also the heater matrix. Which looks exactly what’s needed as just this week it’s used a load of coolant! Previously it’s been fully pressurised showing no issue but I read that...

    Bit of an update, back in love with the car! They replaced the rear disks and pads, had found a foreign object between the disk and pad apparently so needed to change them, the salesman admitted that when the car was MOT’d a month before the seller traded it in, the rear brakes should have been...

    I also love paying £130 a year for insurance and super low tax…. S3 isn’t for me

    I’d love an S3 but I’m 38 and need a 5 door and although power is very attractive, mpg is more important to me . Basically I’m not young enough to have one anymore, but also not old enough to realise I need one

    New Scuba blue A3 TDI184

    Yes the car has a years warranty with it and the garage have given it in writing that they’ll pay for the heating to be fixed by Audi. Bearing in mind I paid £14k for the car it has to be right! Maybe slightly overpriced but try find me another Blue 185bhp one with similar mileage…. Or indeed at...

    Okay so I got a cable and it’s done exactly what I wanted! Just thought I’d share too so the car broke down last weekend, slowing down to traffic lights the brake pedal went down another 2 inches! Diagnosis was a red hot rear disk so looks like caliper binding and has boiled brake fluid! Rang...

    New Scuba blue A3 TDI184

    Sorry forgot to mention so it’s the drivers side that when the blowers are high (not on auto setting) that doesn’t get hot as the passenger side does. also would anyone recommend a specific cable for the Audi iPod connection? Or just anything I can find that’s for that car connection?

    It appears that the heating issue I have is the whole of the drivers side including the fans too, so on low and auto the air is hot as I’d expect. But if I blast up the fan speed on manual it cools down to just slightly warm even with the engine fully upto temp. Does this seem to suggest more...

    New Scuba blue A3 TDI184

    That’s the other colour that is stunning! Oh no never sorted the DAB issue out, wondering if it’s just due to the radio can’t pick it up due to its age… It picks up all the other DAB stations but just not that one I sort of would want, which is weird!!

    Yes so on auto, it did get nice and warm and didn’t notice issues. Was just when I changed it to manual, set blowers to feet (as we’d got back to the car and wanted to quickly warm the feet up) . Her side (the most important really) nice and warm, mine, clearly not heating up!

    Brilliant thank you for that, yes noticed that also it appears the last thing I’ve spotted is just the rear wash wipe doesn’t work…hopefully that’s everything now! Wasn’t expecting perfection at 67k but was expecting near it considering its a main dealer selling it, clearly haven’t done the...
