    Tyres

    Hi guys, I'm not being lazy, honestly! I have done some research of my own, but I was just wondering if any of you guys had any recommendations for good 18" tyres for this wet and cold time of year and where is doing them at decent prices right now? Thanks

    PCP and servicing

    Hi guys, had my car a year now on PCP and my "oil change due" alert has appeared, I'm at nearly 10000 miles. Now I was wondering who is required to do this first service, does it need to be Audi or could I use any decent garage to do it? How would this affect my warranty and my GFV? Thanks

    Tear drop wipe

    Please help, I'm not sure if I'm going mad (madder!) I'm almost sure when I first got my car, it had the "tear drop wipe" function on the front wipers activated, but it definitely doesn't do it now, and I can't seem to find anyway of turning it back on! Can anyone shed any light on this please?

    Just drove home from work at a nice leisurely pace, and parked up at my house, when I turned the ignition off I could hear what I imagine was the fan still going so I sat for a couple of minutes and it was still going so I got out to make sure it was my car and not roadworks or something over...

So I was...

    Start Stop?

    Just been for a little drive in my new car, love it, but I'm not quite sure how the start stop works! The engine never stopped once at any junctions or traffic lights, is there a way to turn it on and off or how should it actually work with regards to being in gear, clutch in, hand brake...

    Interior light package

    Hi, Was just wondering if the A3 s-line comes with ambient lighting as standard or do you really need to add the interior lighting package to get it? My last 2 cars had ambient lighting, as in a dim red light emitted from around the rear view mirror area, and I think I might miss it a little...

    Hi, I'm just looking for some clarification on what you get extra with the basic comfort pack? The only thing I can see that might be of use to me is the cruise control, but don't you get cruise control as standard? Also is there any options to get a heated windscreen or is this standard...
