In the next few days my Daytona Grey A3 TDI (184) will be going back to the leasing company, so I'll be saying goodbye for now! Didn't get a whole heap of pictures, but it did scrub up good on occasion: It's been a fantastic car, and easily the best car I've run but thanks to a greatly...

So I'm looking to end my 3-year lease, one year early and I've asked for a settlement figure. VWFS (through my dealer) have come back with a figure that is basically the entire outstanding lease!?!? When I asked about this last year they told me I'd probably have to pay about 65% of the...

Driving the furious potato (our 6mo baby boy) up and down a quiet dual carriageway for an hour to get him to sleep. ACC on, 55mph, flat road, light wind, no traffic and still only 65.2mpg against a combined book figure of 65.7mpg (extra urban of 72.4mpg!?!) Little bit surprised how far short...

Posting here because I'm at work and it's easier than calling the dealer... I've go the full Audi Complete package with maintenance and tyres included, and wondered if anyone knows what the process is for having tyres replaced, specifically: - Do the tyres get replaced at the dealer, or do...

Just replaced my foglights with something a little white (some Osram Cool Blues, not fully white but definitely an improvement) and I've been struggling to replace the trim / surround. I've got it back on, and it's secure on both sides, but the fog light itself is seemingly set back from the...

In the last week I've had two TPMS false alarms, both times the tyres actual pressures were all either spot on or within 1psi of the stored figures. Could this just be the heat causing a bit of expansion, or is this likely to be a more fundamental fault? Quite annoying as the first time we...

Ugh, after years and years of prang, bump, scrape and kerbing free motoring, I dropped a proper ******* today and reversed into someone else in the car park. In my (weak) defense she wasn't there when I started the maneover but she was most certainly there (and stationary) when I finished it...

Just wondered if there's a hard cap on the miles to empty figure? It's routinely showing ~585mi for me after filling (second click on pump) but the range doesn't usually then drop until I've driven 20-30 miles. Has anyone seen a higher range figure (specifically on the 2WD diesel as I think...

Just a bit of a random query... If you go for the SE suspension, you can't have the adaptive dampers so if you wanted the most comfortable possible ride should you go for: a) SE suspension + normal passive dampers or b) Sport suspension + adaptive dampers (in comfort setting)

Just wondered if anyone has any recommendations? My daughter now has legs long enough to kick the seat in front of her and in winter I can't be bothered taking her shoes on and off all the time so I really need some kind of protection for the seat back. I'm sure I found some official Audi ones...

Normal 30 mile commute this morning with a tailwind ; 64.2mpg ignition on to ignition off. Almost the book figure for the first time! I'm sure it'll come crashing down when I have to drive back with a head-wind...

I don't have a problem as such but having come from running older diesel cars I've always had a bit of a routine to keep things ticking over better. With my last diesel (direct injection) I added 300ml two-stroke oil to each tank to help protect the fuel pump and every ten thousand miles I'd...

To head off the inevitable fog-light backlash I never use them unless it's actually foggy with very poor visibility... Now that that's out the way... I do find it quite annoying when locking the car and activating the "light me home" lights that the colour of the fog-lights is so different to...

Just wondered if anyone knows what tends to happen to courtesy cars long-term? My A3 is with the dealer at the minute and I'm currently pootling around in a 64-plate A1. I didn't really give it much thought and I've been driving it just as I would any car with a mix of steady driving in...

Apologies for the laziness but I'm at work without the paperwork to hand... I'm off on a nice long road-trip to Scotland this weekend (probably ~1,000 miles round trip) and I've got this 'white oil / mayo' problem hanging over my head. The dealer has booked me in to have it looked at when I...

Now that I'm over 2,000 miles in, I had expected to be getting better fuel economy figures, but I'm still averaging around 54mpg driving mainly on flowing a-roads between 50-60mph with a short stint at 70mph on a dual carriageway. What sort of figures are other 184 (FWD) owners seeing?

Now that I'm nearly 2,000 miles in I thought I was probably overdue a quick check of the oil levels. Popped the bonnet and found that the dipstick wasn't fully clicked back into position, but when I took it out the whole thing was coated in a creamy black/white mayo like substance which I...

I can currently charge my phone in the armrest cubby-hole by plugging in the AMI to female USB cable and then plugging my phone's micro USB cable into that, but it's a bit of a clunky solution. Can you get an AMI to male microUSB in one cable? A quick check on Amazon would suggest not, but I'd...

Just a quick one as the manual doesn't seem to give the info. Do you only need to press the lock button on the remote (normal key) once to fully lock the car? Every car I've had previously has had 'two modes' if you like, with one press locking the doors and the second press setting the alarm...

Just wondered how long it takes for the car to achieve its final fuel economy figures ; 1,000mi, 2,000mi?. I've done about 600 miles so far and the numbers are a little lower than expected but I'm guessing it's still early days...? Similarly, is there any kind of bedding in period for...
