    8V VCDS Mods

    I tried to increase the timeout for heated seats going from high to medium from the default of 10 minutes to 20 minutes. Changed in VCDS however now it just stays at whatever setting was chosen forever, doesn't drop down after 20 minutes. I'd rather have it like that though than switching after...

    Regretted Options?

    Not specced personally (was on the car when I got it) but I find the Audi phone box to be the most overpriced useless piece of crap on the car.

    New tyres

    was unfortunate enough to get a puncture on the way to work last week so phoned into Manchester Audi and asked if I could bring it in. Girl on the phone said yes, and mentioned they price match (without me asking). I asked specifically for PS3's and a couple of hours later (I left the car with...

    Worth noting that Audi price-match tyres.

    Sat Nav "Initializing"

    That'd the odd thing; it doesn't seem to matter for me. For example last night I parked up at home around 7 and then got in the car at 7.15 this morning and it came on immediately, no splash screen, no initializing or anything. So that's 12 hours. The other day I drove to my mums, switched the...

    Sat Nav "Initializing"

    I have HD sat nav in my 8v saloon and very often when I get in the car I get "initializing" message on the screen for about 20 seconds... But this seems to be very random as to when it happens. For example I can park up, nip into the shop for 5 minutes, come out and it will show initializing...

    What were Audi thinking with the Speedometer on Audi S3...

    Does it really matter? If you're doing over 160mph then the last thing you should be doing is staring at your speedo.

    A3 2015 US front fog retrofit question

    I've personally never found the front fogs to be that effective, certainly not to the point that I'd be looking to retrofit them if my car didn't have them!?

    Is there a hidden code to unlock all the drive select choices?

    Race function comes with the advanced key and mono pur combination. :whip:

    Depreciation - S3 suffering badly

    Private maybe. But you are always going to be spanked part-ex. Only reason people do it is for convenience - but always expect to lose a couple of grand minimum on the private price.

    Anyone with advanced key had their car stolen here?

    It's possible to steal a car that requires a key without having the key,

    Anyone with advanced key had their car stolen here?

    I've said this before, the key makes hardly any difference. It's the electronics regardless of whether it's keyless (immobilizer etc) that stops the car getting stolen these days.

    My 63 plate saloon shows time in the DIS, along with the date etc selectable by the steering wheel.

    0-100 kph in 5 seconds with DTUK box?!

    I'd be very surprised if you were accurate down to 0.2s. Bear in mind you've got an error margin at the start and the end. Plus the general error margin on any measuring device is assumed to be +- the smallest increment, unless stated otherwise. You could be a second or more out.

    0-100 kph in 5 seconds with DTUK box?!

    I used a stopwatch while launching the car and got 4.96 and 5 seconds twice. How do you rate your error margin on pressing a stopwatch in sync with launching the car? As said above, if you're so bothered about 0-60 (why!?) then use the proper equipment.

    Windscreen Washer Nozzles Adjustment!

    Don't bother doing it yourself, not worth the hassle and if you break it then it's your problem. Take it into a dealership & they'll do it FOC.

    What is the view on Dash cams and self incrimination

    My point exactly - the dashcam isn't an approved speed measuring device so couldn't be used as evidence in court if you were shown to be doing say 80 on a motorway. However if you were driving like an idiot and something happened then sure it could be. I said "don't drive like a *****", not...
