OK, Update, I have just been into the car menu and it now let me reset/store tyre pressures (this was greyed out previously) so the error has now gone away. Odd though.

Hi there, I have been whethering the storm with my right front tyre, it has a slow puncture, (very slow) so every now and again I had to pump it up a little. The low tyre press warning came up on my 2014 A3 dash about 2 weeks ago, so a few days later I went to the garage and put some air in...

The Audi drive select system only allows one "individual" setting which I have set to full power and light steering. Every other default mode seems to come with the harder steering option. All I really want is 2 modes, one at full power with light steering and another in eco mode with light...

Hey, I am after a bit of advice. In order to cure some of the inherent understeer in my A3 I wonder if it would be worth trying to get some eco tyres fitted to the rear and then a sports tyre of some kind at the front. Has anyone done this and would it be recomended in order to get a bit more...

I was given a Mercedes ML class as a hire car about 3 months ago, and I was amazed at how quiet the CDI engine was, both inside and outside the car.

Well theres a sure way to knacker your clutch.

Its a stunning looking car, no doubt. If you do go and see it I hope its still up for sale, good luck.

I very nearly bought a used Mondeo from a dealer (in fact I put down a £200 deposit on it). Got home, ran a AA check on the vehicle reg and it came back as a 35,000 mileage discrepency. So it had been blantantly clocked by this seller, as when we quizzed him on it, he refused to return our...

Went to see the first A3 TDI quattro at the Derby Audi dealership (before planning on seeing the one in Bradford) and frankly I thought it was a bit of a shed, and I told the sales guy that aswell, he just said that its been checked over by their tech guys and that it was still under warranty...

Hmm, is that slightly worrying? Why would you not service it at an Audi dealership? Dont you get free Audi servicing for the first 3 years also? May I ask how exactly you were able to check that?

Hi all, I have seen an A3 S-Line Quattro for sale up in Bradford (about 90 miles from me). Its being sold by from what I can gather is a luxury car trader, here is the actual advert...

With each iteration I think the Golf is turning into something of a mini-MPV. Its higher, taller and styled worse at the rear with each revision. In fact, the last A3 shape (2008) really reminds me of how the Golf used to look, quite smart. I used to own a 1997 Golf and it looked very much like...

Again, not wanting to hijack the thread (my apologies). As a concept, Quattro is great, but the heavier car, combined with the higher fuel consumption isn't good. Having said that, I have never driven a quattro or any 4 wheel drive car before for that matter. I think its hard enough to find a...

I dont mean to hijack your thread, but I wanted to ask more or less the exact same question, so I hope you wont mind. I have seen a; 3-door A3 TDi 170 sport 2008 plate, 3400 miles, Lava Grey, 17" "star shaped" alloys. £17,450 from Audi dealership. The gutting thing is, that I saw a car more...

I presume the 170 versions have slightly longer gearing than the 140 given that the 170 has a higher top speed?
