Thanks guys. Looks like I'm just going to have to find someone with VAG-COM and cehck the coding on it. You can't get the wiring wrong/incomplete as there is just one cable that runs straight from the interface to the head unit with a seperate earth. Connection is childs play. Either the unit is...

That's what I thought, but no joy. Actually, just realised, it's the concert 3 (car is only 3 weeks old!). Pressing the CD button just cycles between CD and AUX (which is the aux-in located in centre console). I am led to believe that pressing CD should cycle between CD, CD changer and Aux...

I managed to get hold of an ipod interface and all connections (well if truth be told, I bought the entire glove box and all wiring with the interface in it for £10 :D don't you just love breakers yards!) and have connected it all up, but the stereo shows no sign of anything connected. I take it...

What a crock of ****! I have yet to find anything about my brand new Audi that is better than my 05 BMW which was largely designed a decade ago! The whole point about BMW is that they are the ultimate driving machine, not the ultimate posing machine. Yes their interiors are basic and plain...

Toss up between a 52 plate Imprezza WRX and my new Audi A3 170TDI Quattro..... Running for cover My most favourite was an 03 plate S3 hmmmm

I've got a 170TDI Quattro. Awfull mpg of 34 driven carefully (I hope because it only has 700 miles on the clock!). My 330cd BMW did 40 after a remap and my mother's 3.0i petrol Z4 gets 32. I never realised that the 4x4 took such a toll on the TDI's fuel economy. My old S3 used to get 32mpg

Well, it looks as though I've stirred up a hornets nest with this post, so this will be my last post in this thread. To the people that have chipped in silly posts like "If you don't like the car, sell it and just SHUT UP", you obviously didn't read from the beginning. It is a company car, so...

Because they were not all apparent on a test drive, that's why. You physically cannot test every component of a car on a test drive. You also cannot test how things feel after long term use. I use a keyboard at work, but unless I had sat and 'tested' it for 4 hours straight, I wouldn't have...

I did, but it was actually before I bought my BMW. I had an S3 at the time and took a new 2.0TDI for a test drive. At the time, I was not massively impressed, but felt it was up to the job. I didn't try every feature of the car due to time, but I felt I could live with it. It's like buying a...

If you really MUST get an A3, I would get the 2.0T and remap it. I've just got a new TDI 170 and the fuel consumption is crap for a diesel (33mpg driving slowly!). If I had had the A3 for a week before deciding on a new car, I would not have got it.

Problem is, this won't work when the ley is in the ignition, so in order to unlock the boot, I have to stop the car, remove the key from the ignition and then unlock the boot. Another thing that is doing my head in is having to press the clutch every time I start the car. I like to start...

Well... with 400 miles on the clock and on it's 4th day, the DPF warning light came on this morning. I don't do short trips so Audi's explanation for why this happens is garbage. Seems the DPF system is just plain crap. My commute to work and back is all A1 for 30 mins each morning, it's not...

Yep, it's an M-Sport and a damn nice one too! http://audi-sport.net/classifieds/showproduct.php/product/1189/cat/18 Why would I swap?.... Yes, it's a company car. I wish I could justify the expense of 2 cars, then I would keep the Beemer too. It's stunning condition, goes like stink and for...

Not good :sorry: My A3 TDI S-Line Quattro 170 arrived at my work first thing Monday morning and I was all excited, too bad the feeling didn't last. Although it looks great on the outside and very nice inside, it just has a "child's toy" feel about it that I cannot quite put my finger on...

One thing to note on the Toyos: Although I did find them to be a pretty good tyre, they only lasted 3 months!! These replaced a set iof pirelli P6000's which were poop despite lasting nearly 2 years.

That's bizzare. I did the same swap and found the goodyears wear rate MUCH faster and didn't think they were as grippy in either wet or dry

Absolutely no chance in hell would I pay £700 for a year. The chances of anything going wrong that would cost £700 to repair are not great enough to justify, and if they werre big enough, I wuold not keep the car to be honest!

Although in theory I agree with you, in practise this is utter ********. In reality a person with 4x4 will think he's billy big spuds and asume because he has 4x4 that he can drive faster in snow, when 4x4 makes sod all difference to braking! I have been there myself in my old S3 in the snow...

Out of my hands unfortunately. I placed the order with the lease company and they ordered it from Audi. On my comfirmation from the lease company it had everything, but on the final invoice, (just got it today) the sensor is omited. Sure, there's the chance that I'm going to get it for free, but...

Righto, my new A3 gets delivered in less than 2 weeks, but because Grosvenor are completely incompetent, they didn't order light and rain sensor pack like I specced. Grrrrrrr. The main thing I want is the auto dimming mirror but also would like auto lights. (I'm not too concerned about the...
