    myAudi Service Record

    Evening all, Had my first service done last Tuesday at Maidstone Audi - all fine it seems. I've just logged into myAudi to check that it's updated the record online but no sign of it, yet. Any idea how long this takes? I've got the print out but it's not online. Thanks

    DIY Alloy refurb / Touch up

    Hi all, Hopefully i've put this post in the correct place - feel free to move it if not. I've got a couple of alloys with some slight curb damage on the inside of the rim. The fronts of the alloys are just fine so i don't want to pay for a proper refurb. I have sanded down the damaged areas...

    Coolant

    Hi All My Coolant level is below the minimum level (not by much) - had a warning come up on the dash yesterday. The owner manual says to get some G13 so I've located a bottle on eBay (genuine stuff from a proper Audi dealer eBay user). The owner manual suggests a mix ratio of 40/45 coolant...

    ACC Stops you undertaking

    Not sure if this has been said before, apologies if it has. I was travelling back from work on the M25 this evening and there was a lorry in the second lane doing about 60mph and nothing on the inside. I had ACC on at 75mph on the inside lane. Now normally I would overtake properly but it had...

    Service Schedule

    I've had a quick look and couldn't find what I was looking for on here. Obviously now the A3/S3 doesn't come with a service book, it's now all digital. I used to use the front part of the Service Book in my A3 8P to see what work was needed at what age/mileage. i.e It would tell you that the...

    Valet Pro Bilberry Wheel Cleaner

    Just thought I'd share my experience with this stuff. Used it on my S-Line Diamond cut alloys at the weekend and it's great stuff. Spray on to a dry alloy, leave for 5 minutes then pressure wash it off, using the brush to get the stronger areas off. You may need a microfiber which I did to get...

In my 64 plate A3 I can login into Audi Connect and download the update to SD card and then update it from the SD card slot in the car but I've logged into the Audi Connect account that is linked to the...

    A3Kent's Daytona A3 184ps S-Line

    I've got it. I will talk about this morning in a bit more detail over the next few days but here are a few photos for you people. Didn't realise the speaker grills in the back were B&O branded too, I thought it was just the front ones? Love it so far! Exceptional car! :D

    Which Reg would you pick ?

    I have been given a list of registrations to pick mine from pending collection of my A3 this weekend. It's not a great bunch, are there any here you would pick or avoid? Need to decide by 12 o'clock today. I've only given you the last 3 characters as the first 4 are all the same. YVU YVW YVX...

    First Service Cost?

    Anyone know how much a first service would be for a 2.0 TDI? I have been offered by the dealer who I'm buying the car from a free first service if I pick my new car up from them by the end of this month. Our original plan was to wait until January. Who thinks this is a good deal?

    Which Alloys?

    I have on order the 5 parallel spoke design alloys. I could have specified the 10 spoke for an additional £200 but decided I didn't want to spend the money. However, the opportunity has arisen to buy a set of the 10 spoke for around £600, the 5-spoke design is fairly common so I wanted a set...

    New Pricing & Specification Guide

    Just noticed that Audi have released a New Pricing & Specification Guide from October 2014. https://www.audi.co.uk/content/dam/audi/production/PDF/PriceAndSpecGuides/a3-s3.pdf Anyone noticed any differences in the Specs? Obviously the price has gone up a little bit.

    Would you have the Black Styling Pack if your car was grey (Daytona)?

    I'm undecided which way to go. Is (Daytona) grey with the black pack too gloomy? Does the standard silver break it up a bit?

    Pearl or Metallic

    Hi guys I've had a look around and can't seem to find a similar thread anywhere else. I'm looking at getting a new A3 in Daytona Grey. The Audi configurator is giving two types of finish in this colour, Pearl or Metallic. Both the same price. Which is best? Is one more 'harder' so therefore...
