    Servicing at an independant.

    After having annual servicing at Audi for 4 years, I decided to take the plunge with an independant. Just picked the car up from APS - Brackley (more or less next door to Mercedes GP team headquarters - as if that makes a difference!). I had MOT, Inspection, Oil change, Spark plugs, air cleaner...

    Downloading contacts from iPhone to MMI

    I have been having a problem for a few months with my contacts not always appearing in the MMI. Most of the time it seems to show just "My number". The AUDI service dept have had several looks at it and failed to fix it after updating the MMI etc etc. I have now figured out the problem myself...

    Extended warranty

    My car is just coming up to 3 years old (can't believe it). I have today received an email from Audi inviting me to take out an extended warranty. I had been considering this because I am just slightly concerned about possible large costs - particularly the gearbox (s-tronic). From comments on...

    Auto headlights - temperature sensitive?

    I have auto lights with comfort pack. I realise they come on with fading light OR when auto wipers trigger (ie when it's raining) I noticed yesterday morning that my lights had come on. It was dry and perfectly light - mid morning. So there was no light, rain (or time) reason for them to be...

    Strange omission I think......

    I have the interior lighting pack and it does make the interior classy and well lit at night. Gentle light in footwells, handles etc etc. But there's one piece of lighting missing. They should put a ring of light round the ignition key slot. That would be really good. Of course I'm getting...

    Where are my reflective jackets?

    I have a A3 saloon. I have an idea that there should be some reflective jackets tucked away in a hidey hole somewhere. The picture in the manual isn't really clear but suggests they should be in the rear seat somewhere. Any ideas? Also there has been some talk on here about shopping bag hooks...

    Problem with some album art on SD card

    I seem to have a very specific problem with some of my album art. Wonder if anyone has any experience of this - using Mp3tag. I have assembled all my music in folders and used Mp3tag to get the album art and embed it. All seems to work in the MMI and shows the album art fine, except for one or...

    Oh what a long wait.........

    I have finally collected my new A3 saloon. I have had to wait a long time and I thought that I would document the wait so that some on this forum can see what to expect. Week 13 (28th March) Ordered the car. Expected wait 14 weeks. I think that, based on stuff on this forum, that wasn’t too...

    Which insurance to choose

    I am picking up my new Audi A3 saloon tomorrow and have the complimentary 7 day insurance set-up from Audi insurance. They have quoted me for a years insurance - £330, which they dropped to £280 when I said it was too expensive. My current insurer (Cooperative) is quoting £241. I have always...

    Car at Emden - which ship

    My dealer told me yesterday that my car arrived at Emden and was loaded onto a ship yesterday. I have been looking at Vesselfinder and Marinetraffic and it looks like the most likely ship is African Highway. It's the only car carrier I can find and it seems to have been going between Emden...

    Buying An Sd Sat Nav Off Ebay

    I haven't spec'd the sat nav for my new car, because I could not justify the cost really. Only use one occasionally and have a perfectly good Navman. However I just noticed that there are loads for sale on eBay for between £70 and £150. What's the story. Some say they have an activation code...
