    184ps/Quattro A3

    Hi PembsA3 just noticed a typo error. My Dealer should of course had said that was no substance in the comments rather than the opposite which I wrote . Apologies for that. Let's hope we get some good news soon.

    184ps/Quattro A3

    Hi PembsA3 I too am waiting for the release of the 184ps in the Sportback Sline on the manual box. The only information I have seen via my dealer from the Audi official channel and it is a genuine feedback from Audi, is that the 184 PS will be made available in the Summer 2013. The A3 will have...

    Belfins countdown -13 days to go.

    Hi Belfin thanks for that. I bet you are really chuffed that you had such a fast order /delivery turn around time. I did see a daytona grey TDI A3 SPB in the car park at St Ives the other day. Looking really good. Dealer identity on it suggested a holiday maker down here enjoying our part of the...

    Belfins countdown -13 days to go.

    Hi Belfin (Paul) thanks for the info. I will contact Plymouth when Audi give the order date to see whether they can offer any improvement on Truro's position. I have built up a very good relationship with Truro but it is interesting how each dealer can tweak things. I know of someone else who...

    Belfins countdown -13 days to go.

    Hi Belfin like many others on this site I am delighted for you to be collecting your car today. I am very curious, since I also live in Cornwall and are wondering where you placed your order for your car? Was it Truro, Plymouth, Exeter or somewhere else? I am still waiting to put my order in...

    1.8TFSI - awful lag

    Driving the 1.8TFSI s-tronic there was no problem with the performance of the turbo once it kick in, a slight turbo gap, but as one would be expect. For me I felt it was more that initial pulling away that was very lack lustre and as somebody else reported here it was not reassuring. Could be...

    1.8TFSI - awful lag

    I am still waiting for the 184PS to come up no doubt like many others. In the meantime before I pull out what hair I have left I test drove the 1.8TFSI S-Tronic yesterday for comparison. This is the first time that I have driven the s-tronic box or an auto for that matter. During the drive I was...

    New price list on Audi UK website

    I saw it last night located on Audi's brochure request section. Just wished it had included the 184ps TDI version. I want to put my order in. More frustration and more waiting on the horizon. At least as far as I can see there are no price increases evident on existing versions. The good news as...

    Collected My Audi A3 Today [now with photos!]

    Hi Gareth I really like the spec of your A3 SPB. The mono.pur adds the final finishing touch to the interior. Are the door armrests in the rear also covered or is it restricted to the front only? The brochure suggests the latter. It would be nice to know. Thanks.

    You wanted pics?

    Thanks for your reply. It would be interesting to know what the difference in looks is ,if any, with the through load facility fitted. I have to ask the dealer.

    You wanted pics?

    Hi Vertigo I really enjoyed looking at your photos and can appreciate the really good spec. Tell me this. The photos of the the front and rear seats with the leather/ perf alc shows that combo off a real treat. Did you include the through load facility on these rear seats only the centre panel...

    Availability of TDI quattro 184ps

    Hi neilmcl, I understand that the VW Golf GTD is currently open for orders for the 184ps diesel engine. To my knowledge I have not seen anything that suggests that they are holding back on this. That does seem to suggest that VW/Audi Group do not have those concerns as the Seat arm although...

    Hi PembsA3, h5djr and all the followers to this thread, I wish there was more we could do to get Audi to wake up. it is really frustrating waiting for your turn to come round to be able to put an order in with Audi for the version of car you want. That is a sportback TDI 184ps with or without...

    Availability of TDI quattro 184ps

    Hi once again lookything I see that you are of the same mind . I too could not drop down in power. I test drove the TDi 150 I must admit I was impressed but it just lacked that extra oomph. I also drove the 1.4 TFSI which I thought was a similar performer. My current SPB 2.o TDi 170 ps i find a...
