    Dealer car-wash blues :(

    I would seek out a detailer, get two quotes and make the dealer foot the bill. A "mop" doesn't sound very convincing, my first (and last) Audi service was a nightmare!

    Fao: 7 Speed, S Tronic Owners

    Even if the warranty runs out the problem exists before so if they are trying to go down this route its just massive dishonesty. Make sure you have records of you informing them of the issue whether its an email, text or receipt. If the job sheet says theres no issue then visit the independent...

    Now refused the S3

    Regarding the deposit I mean with the dealer, based on behaviour so far, even if someone said one thing its the usual purpose of a deposit that would be upheld, i.e you say nothing was signed but a deposit was taken from you, which was for a car you then say was refused by the dealer to be sold...

    Now refused the S3

    The beauty of being a multi-national company, hate audi, love vw, or vice versa, they still win!! I had a horrible time with VW Group (covers Leicester, Derby,..) but that was after I got the car, things balanced out in the end but going the routes suggested in this thread are a waste of time...

    supercharged 3.2 0-60?

    From what I have looked at there really isn't much gain in the VVT+remap other than slight notices, if you spent 700 you would at least tell yourself theres some difference. The real difference comes from a turbo and seems more realistic, but expensive. I keep thinking whether or not to mod...

    Tpi 2010289/3 ECU Update 3.2l v6

    Yes keep me updated, few q's: - Which dealer? - Did they confirm you needed the update? As in, actually say it needs the update to resolve your issue. - Who was the guy/girl you spoke to?

    Tpi 2010289/3 ECU Update 3.2l v6

    No never got it sorted, they just didn't bother in the end - I'll dig up a few things from here that helped me, if it helps you let me know I am also in the mids, I even told the dealer a few of us from here would come to them but it had no effect - its crazy sometimes.

    Tpi 2010289/3 ECU Update 3.2l v6

    I did try with Stratford Audi but they weren't listening once it went beyond the "come in and let us diagnose" stage, its a shame independents dont have this software as they are the ones that care for customers with these sorts of needs, not the dealers

    Audi A3 3.2 V6 (Performance Mods)

    What suggestions would you have for performance mods, baring in mind its not as simple or beneficial as turbo systems. Also, who would you use? I am not sure who to use, I've rounded it up to Midland VW, Awesome Gti, AMD and JBS. I plan to get: H&R 25mm (+ wheel alignment settings not just...

    { Interior } Leather and dash looking tired

    I had to make a choice between Dr Leather and Liquidleather, looking at the results of Liquidleather I wanted to get it, but then it took nearly a full day of work to reach that and I don't think my leather is in a condition that needs Liquidleathers attention. The end picture here shows you...

    { Interior } Leather and dash looking tired

    So I sat in the car and paused to look at the interior, I notice a few rips on the floor, marks on the dash that countless cleans just don't seem to remove, very shiney leather, a shiny steering wheel...and some other things. I want to make everything look nice and new, but can't do everything...

    Best mods for a V6??

    This is where it becomes much harder than modding an S3! A VVT attack and remap would be around £1k - this is for a DSG. Any remap will be lucky to gain more than 10bhp, even if you get 15 in real terms it will probably be much less. There's been a recent package launched in the UK...

    Audi A3 Quattro 3.2

    I don't think an RAC check would be needed if its from a dealer, just make sure you take a good look around the car and test the gears, especially if its dsg. Also the usual checks service history, owners, etc The road tax initially looks steep, its about £250 more than the S3? works out at 24£...
