    Moisture inside headlights

    Since 10 days ago I have moisture inside one of the headlights for no reason. Obviously it's extremely fugly. The headlight works fine otherwise. What should I tell Audi? Should I insist they replace the headlight? The picture I took today is below. Thanks!

    Squealing sound

Also, the brakes squeal when I brake during those 30-60 seconds when the car starts. I took the car to the garage...

    Hello everyone, A few days ago I switched on the car and got the "Side light/daylight running light, left side" message. I checked it, and it's correct - it stopped working. It's no big deal (normally it's hard to even see it's not working), but the beeep every time I start the engine is...

    Differences between navigation: MMI Touch nav plus vs. MMI Radio + SD card nav

    I read the brochure, seen the videos etc. but I'd like to hear the opinion first hand from people who tried both MMI Touch plus navigation on the new Audi A3 and have also used the SD-card based navigation with MMI Radio.
