    Where has my Audi heartbeat gone?

    I didn’t really like the heart beat, I haven’t turned it off, As far as I am aware when I look at it in the MMI the volume is still in the middle yet the heart beat has mysteriously disappeared ? Has my RS3 lost it's soul, the will to live and died?

    Heater AC temp setting not working?

    Ive thought on a few occasions that when ive clicked the driver temp setting it hasnt responded, today It wouldnt increase the temp reading, but would decrease it, foolishly (and I knew what was going to happen) I went all the way to Lo, which puts the fans on full belt cold when its only 8c...

    Dipped beam headlamp adjustment, matrix headlamps

    I returned my sons car to him the other day and wifey followed me there, it was noticeable that every time she went over a bump/undulation that the RH headlamp and only the RH 'flashed' at me for want of a better word, pointing my car at a suitable wall the RH dipped beam appears to be set...

    Snow Foam

    I always watched with interest when a you tube video showed someone using snow foam, I was thinking maybe just another gimmick to take more of my hard earned out of my pocket. My usual method is power wash the car to get the loose cr*p off then a bucket and microfibre glove, also my Power...

    RS3 Jack, or lack of

    I know there isnt a spare wheel etc but I also carry a puncture repair kit, one of those that you stuff a rubber plug into the hole with a scewer, just for that (not ever happened yet) times, I think the system 'might' help if the puncture hole is/was too big for just the Audi repair solution...

    Cold start 'normal' behaviour or a Gremlin ?

    On a cold start with the 'faster' idle mine is quite odd to drive for the first 20/30 seconds, it sort of hestitates on small throttle openings and makes more noise but doesnt really go any faster, I'm thinking it's just the ecu trying to bring cats and OPF's into operating temperature, but...

    Anyone had to use Regular Unleaded?

    As the title suggests, I pulled into the local FS with 5 miles range showing only to be confronted by ''No Diesel or Super Unleaded'' I put £15 of normal Unleaded in and for the life of me I cant feel any difference? It doesnt appear to be doing less mpg either

    Matrix headlight thoughts?

    Weird things, they (when on auto) come on like a set of curtains opening in front of you and generally seem to work quite well swithing off and on any beam that may interfere with other traffic, seem to auto turn off when street lighting is present, good saftey function on 70mph dual carraigeway...
