Deffo higher than mine, which is standard S-Line.

Steady there matey. The OP is asking for help, not suspected of a crime !

The infotainment system in my 2010 8P Black Edition would read aloud incoming SMS messages. Really disappointed that the 8V S-Line I have at the moment does not.

Hi all I own a 2014 A3 TDI S-line Sportback. I've developed a low-speed creak (over speed humps, on and off the drive, etc). Can anyone advise me what sort of job it is to replace the suspension bushes and, if needed, the front top mounts ? Also, what sort of bill I could expect ? Many thanks.

Wouldn't say that 82k miles is high for a 6-year-old car. As long as it's been looked after properly it should be fine.

:scared2: Huge can of worms opened !! I think 5 years comes into it somewhere, but be prepared for many different opinions on this fella.

As would any garage.

Depends on the roads you use most, but I would expect 40,000+ from a set.

I think you are in the wrong forum @Aces. Sounds like you have an 8P model. @Sandra can you help please ? BTW the problem sounds like a power steering pump issue.

Mine does the same intermittently. Around 1800 rpm there is a "buzz" that seems to be coming from beneath the MMI unit, behind the 2 centre vents. I imagine that it would be a major job to sort, so have left it for now. Read somewhere on here that wires inside the dashboard can come loose over...

You make a good point @AlS3BE.

He should be named and shamed. . . . then de-bagged and raddished.

Could be anti roll bar bushes. Hopefully not, as it's a major job.

Hmm, the re-gas cost seems about double what I'd expect and I'm reasonably sure that the part could be obtained cheaper with some shopping around. Why are they charging you for anti freeze ?

Sounds a bit steep to me. However, I have little knowledge of A5 Coupe parts, so maybe someone can provide some expertise.
