Facelift THE NEW AUDI A3 (2016 FACELIFT) – STILL AHEAD OF THE CURVE

Flo cab....

Now see these are the front fascias that the Audi A3 facelift need.

Not those other faces with the ugly crease below the singleframe grill giving it a mouth-like lip.

This front fascia puts this car close in line with the A4.

Please don't tell me only Bi-Xenon equipped A3's get this front fascia?


and speaking of headlights. I checked IIHS and it scored the LED headlights on the new A4 as a grade [A] Acceptable.
I wonder will that same quality of LED headlights carry over to the facelift A3 with LEDs, since pre-facelift LEDs all got hit with Poor rating.

White. You can't change the colour. It's a car not a disco mate lol
  1. The way Audi brag about Bang and Olufsen audio giving the driver a concert atmosphere, I'd expect a low budget disco light joint would be kind of a standard feature.

OT, I can't remember if I asked this earlier, but is Audi UK still giving you guys the ability to equip magnetic ride into your A3s (Not S3s, I'm not talking about that car) like they did on the pre-facelifts?

Chrome embellishments have gone from the air vents yippee as they look cheap in my opinion,just thought l would mention one more positive thing.
Has the comfort package been removed by Audi can't find it on the configurator?
The facelift A3 has a new package its now called comfort and sound package, which includes your normal comfort pack stuff and rear parking sensors as well as b&o sound system ☺

Do you think the vcds software and hardware will work with the FL, and the coding be the same in order to make the same changes?

Just basic ones mate, mirror dip, needle sweep etc? Fault code checking if I add a DTUK box etc..

Yeah, reckon this should be fine. I added mirror dip to the TT, and easy enough to scan for any fault codes as same interface.

I connected my VCDS cable and the CEM coding is all zeros and the engine and gearbox are not recognised.
I sent an autoscan to Ross-Tech so hopefully they will have support soon for the FL

Got it in a group buy on a VW forum about 10 years ago, amazing it is still being updated and still works.

I contacted the people at OBDeleven about the facelift model and compatibility, and they've come back and said its not been tested yet, but they expect it to work.

Go away then end leave those of us who are looking forward to our new Navarra cars to arrive to do so in peace. You clearly hate S3s so much that I really don't understand why you linger on this thread like a bad smell tainting peoples enjoyment of their impending acquisitions.

Please don't think you speak for all future owners, Navarra or otherwise. I too have a Navarra S3 on the way, and my experience is in no way affected by the ramblings of the anti-fanboi.

You can always ignore him you know.

I tend not to hit the ignore link on forums.... It seems a harsh thing to do, almost like a form of termination. :gun2:

Better to just respect that everyone has different beliefs and opinions, some of them are bo**ocks right enough, and these are easily spotted, but each to their own.

#peace #harmony #teamNavarra ;) :D

Gents, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Like it or lump it. If you don't agree just simply let it wash over you. Getting yourselves wound up regarding certain posts results in the old saying "Hook, line and sinker"!! Someone's fishing and the bait is being taken everytime.

If the comment is of differing opinion to yours then that's life. That's what forums are about. Debate, discussion, banter and not getting taken in!

Just because someone isn't a fan of Navarra it doesn't mean everyone is but it seems you are being drawn into the debate simply because you're defensive of your choice.

Let it go or banter back. Don't get embroiled in a slagging match.

All colours available for the FL S3 are stunning in their own right! You choose a colour because you like it not because other people on a car forum said they like it or not...

At first glance I thought that was a Q7 with A3 wheels, then I noticed the S3 badge on the front.

The S3 19" wheels better suit it no?

@jassyo06 nah mate, just in general. It's like the RS3 thread! Some will like certain comments others won't. It's about how you respond to the comments you don't like, or simply don't comment!
Some people take the bait everytime and open themselves up to being fished into an argument that was never intended.
I guess, certain people just don't know how to repsond to banter or simply can't banter.
