Well picked up my new car today - 2006 A3 TDi sport S-Line in Akoya silver
Drove 90 miles to swap over averaging 26mpg in the Focus ST2 and comming home averaged upto 51.7mpg in the A3 - bit of a difference
The A3 engine is noisier than the Merc sprinter van i drive during the day which suprised me? it is smooth though (i stalled in in the petrol station ) so i guess i'm happy
Got it home and it was cleaned with the pressure wash, snowfoamed, rinsed and fully clayed ready for a detail with the DA tommorow (booked 2 days off work).I did under the bonnet with a cleaning solution and plenty of rags so it's spotless as well. I also debadged the rear (left the rings on) and have ordered a S-Line badge to fit where the 2.0tdi badge went
1 of the things i find annoying is the seatbelt reminder, i know i'm supposed to wear the belt but i don't want the car telling me - is there a way of disabling this feature?
I've also found 1 of the parcel shelf brackets (the part with the rubber which sits in the groove) is missing - can these be bought seperate?
I'll be fitting a black grille and LCR splitter later on so is there any other subtle/ cheap mods i can do easily?
pics will be taken at the weekend weather permitting
