    SOS Call malfunction contact workshop

    Yes, I had no drive select or sat nav when I took delivery of the car. It went back to the dealer a week and a half later and was fixed with upgrades to the software. Car was returned a week later and there were no more problems. I sold the car on Friday in favour of an A1 1.4TFSI DSG 2018...

    Cloned car ?

    Is the online thing automatic or is it something I would of had to set-up ? I have not scratched off the plastic tag thing with a pin number on if that is anything to do with the online capability of the car. I might actually of been on this website typing the incident up I had with the SOS...

    Cloned car ?

    It was in Leicester. You have opened my eyes to the simplicity of this crime. Shame the police have no ability to stop it. Cheers, Dan

    Cloned car ?

    Yes, that makes sense. I would expect some sort of correspondence from insurer in the event of a claim. No idea if DVLA can change plates. Cheers, Dan

    Cloned car ?

    Changing the registration sounds like it would cost me money. I have lost enough money buying the audi let alone paying for a new reg lol. Good point on the insurance issue there. That had not even occurred to me, time to give them a call too. Cheers, Dan

    Cloned car ?

    Yes that is exactly why. I told the police that there was obviously a clone of my vehicle in the Leicester area committing lots of crimes or a dodgy dealer/seller . Cheers, Dan

    Cloned car ?

    Also, mine is a 70 plate. Mine is a 70 plate. The car now has a 'police marker' on it. Guess that means I will be pulled over every time I have to drive it. Although not at the time of the offence (3hrs earlier) I was actually at an appointment in hospital in Bristol having a very painful...

    Cloned car ?

    My car was a used/ex-demo car and is the 8Y model from Solihull Audi. The parking offence took place (2/7/21) one week after I had got the car. So the registered keeper at the time was probably still Audi (I had not received the V5 at that point). The parking company originally wrote to Audi...

    Cloned car ?

    Annoyingly, my vehicle now has a police marker on it. What joy. The alloys look like a five spoke with black paint on - I have seen this type somewhere but cannot for the life on me remember who supplies them and what they are called. Just wondered if anyone could help. Cheers again, Dan

    Cloned car ?

    Not sure if anyone can help (poor picture) but I have just received a Parking Charge notice. Same number plate but in a different part of England. I have put a picture on here of the photo they sent (which is rubbish) to judge what type of Audi its is. To me it looks like an older model than...

    Wind noise and door closure issue

    You are not wrong, panel gaps are crazy huge and as for the sealant near the bonnet hinges (see pics) well who knows what these cars are stuck together with.

    Wind noise and door closure issue

    In reference to the door not closing properly all I could see when I got the car back was some spray grease on the door hinges - useless. I think it is the catches that need adjusting (either the door catch or the frame catch - perhaps loosen the catch on the frame and pull it out from the car a...

    Wind noise and door closure issue

    I have found that the front passenger door is giving quite a bit of wind noise from the front, lower corner area of the window (near the wing mirror). The wind whistling noise starts after about 60mph. Also, the same door is difficult to shut properly. It takes a good slam to shut it. Wondered...

    What do you like about your A3 8Y?

    1. The look of the car (mine is a black, sport saloon) 2. Economy of nearly 60mpg is achievable 3. Smoothness of the engine/s-tronic combo 4. Power and delivery is actually not too bad (previous car was a manual Golf R)
