I'm inclining that way. Does anyone know if the other headlight options would have been significantly cheaper to replace? I would have thought twice about speccing them had I been aware of this.

Hi, got a cracked headlight lens on my A3 (LED) and just got a quote from my Audi dealer for replacement: Headlight - £1241.57 Labour(2hrs) - £285.60 Total - £1527.17 which is a lot. Has anyone had a similar experience and can recommend a breakers where I can get the part and then have a garage...

Just filled up the tank on a 2.0 TDI and noticed that the estimated range is 385 miles. That seems pretty low after having brimmed it - is the range pegged at this as an upper number?

I infrequently have to transport our dog and, having just picked up a new A3 want to keep him and us safe and the car clean (I'm hoping the air-con will cope with the flatulence). Any recommendations on liners/guards for the 8v sportback?

A3 Manual - picked up yesterday so not pushed it yet to determine the spread of gears. Never really considered an auto - old habits etc plus on the times I've driven an auto I've always scared myself thumping on the brake pedal thinking it was the clutch

Thanks - had seen that list but couldn't track it down

Confused by this BW thing - given w/c 28th July which, counting up the Mondays since Jan 1st gives BW30. Is that right?

I can see how this could happen. I had booked a test drive for Feb 28 - in hindsight not a great date given the March 1st madness but they gladly took the booking. I turned up - the rep had forgotten and after sitting around for a bit another rep came out and we went out in a 3 door (I had spent...

Ok, please excuse ignorance but when the diesel vs petrol issue comes up the first recourse is to the expected mileage. I do 20-22k per year and yes I would expect to be pointed to a diesel because as I see it the higher price is offset by the mpg. BUT, if the cost of fuel were taken out of the...

Not a 24hr solution (or even a reliable UK one) but check this out Tell Time by Using Sun (Easy) - YouTube

Nice spec - I'm with you on the gadgets. I'm veering toward a 2.0 but I would get more use out of fiddling with stuff while stuck in traffic than more poke on the rare bit of clear road

Love the new integrated display in the forthcoming TT Audi TT interior (2014) first official pictures | Automotive & Motoring News | Car Magazine Online Does anyone think it might carry over to the refresh of the A3 later this year?

Can you clarify how you got that base price? When I go to the site it gives me £22,681.75.

Have no knowledge of this area but surely the stiffness of a car is something that could be more usefully expressed in figures (than say the seemingly arbitrary mpg) so for example if my golf was say 1.5 I could tell if something were stiffer or softer by the values relating to them?

Meant Xenons not halogens Not wanting a firmer car per se but understand that the usual moan about Audis is the firmness of the ride. Will need to take a test drive to determine how it relates to my own experience - as someone mentioned I shall run it over cats eyes. I think I'd go for the...
