    Miles to a tank...

    I'm getting 540-550 miles for each tank. The first displayed miles to empty was something similar to what you have had. This will change/ climb with subsequent fill ups and as Daveotto/ Jimmy & NHn say, it will alter inline with your driving style. I've got a 2TDI and I'm very happy with...

    OMC (Oh My Cod!)

    I achieve better mpg with auto over eco. Dynamic trades off a very small amount of mpg against auto. I keep the car in dynamic all the time for the firmer steering plus the power delivery makes the drive more fun. I am achieving 50 mpg in dynamic. Oh I run a 2TDI. Moonlight is the stat man on...

    I'm a cheapskate using the normal stuff from Texaco. I will have a search for Dave's thread on super diesel etc...

    Awesome!!!!!!!

    Hello Dave, I knew you would like the 2TDI engine. Absolute beaut & the torque generated is pretty tasty. You will also notice how you get both performance and economy from that engine. Best of both worlds. Apologies for not being able to meet up near Heathrow. Really pleased you are loving...

    Creaky mmi screen

    Yes I had this issue. I thought it was down to heat being generated around that moving part causing the casing to expand and contract giving rise to the creaking sound. It has settled down now and I have done 6250 miles. If It becomes noticeable again I will have it looked at. Seems okay now...

    Warning - Car Jacking

    Really sorry to hear this MJC. Such a shame that people have to resort to such. Hope they catch the cretins.

    Race for a 63 plate

    Apologies for not being about to comment and interact with many of you. Things have got a little bit hectic with the wife and the imminent birth of our first child. Just like to wish you all the best for collection of your new Audis. I reflect upon my collection date back at the end of May and...

    What's with the badge deletion thing?

    I kept the TDI on mine as it reminds me what fuel type I am using. Being the first diesel car I have had, I certainly need reminding and the last thing I need is to fill it up with petrol. Whether you keep the badge or de-select, the car still looks class!

    Facepalm Moment

    I can see how you might have thought you had scratched the dial cover. Does the hair actually protrude out of the dial cover at the side to which you can use tweezers to pull it free?

    Facepalm Moment

    Lol - just teasing Cemerson. No offense intended :-) I think a person on the assembly line in Germany left First Ever Audi with a free extra that was not shown in the brochure under upholstry...

    A3 8V mini meet and cruise on 1st September

    This is something I would be up for. I live between Essex/Suffolk border and literally would take me 30 mins to get to the meeting point. I trust this offer extends to those on 13' plates????? My only snag is that my wife is due to have our first child around the 1st/2nd September and if she...

    Got it!

    Dave, I think MiT scanned a manual or possibly only sections of the manual and uploaded onto the site. Not sure where.

    Glad I Spec’d / Wish I’d Spec’d!!

    Good call on the pano roof Number3. Certainly lets alot more light into the cabin. I suppose if you are spending much time on the road, in particular motorways, having cruise control/adaptive cruise control makes perfect sense. I wished I had specced Hill Hold Assist but I can manage without...
