    Facelift Drive Select

    The Drive Select Mode and all of its settings will stick between engine starts with the exception of the throttling mapping. It will reset back to the less aggressive D shift mode rather than the sportier S mode. I understand this is related to how the engine is government rated for fuel...

    Presumably you’ve driven both S3 and RS3. What are your comparison impressions?

    So Traffic Jam Assist does not use additional hardware/parts to what Lane Assist and Adaptive Cruise Control?

    North American and Australian cars don’t have Traffic Jam Assist. Lane Assist only works above 65kph for those cars.

    Quattro Settings

    I interpret it as the former is always sending power to all wheels with a varying degree of bias, whereas the latter normally operates in front wheel drive only.

    Does slowing down with cruise control on apply brake lights?

    I too have been wondering whether Adaptive Cruise Control uses both regular braking and engine braking. I suspect the former for quicker/emergency situations and the latter during other times. Certainly regular braking would need to engage rear lights for obvious safety reasons. Sent from...

    8V VCDS Mods

    Has any progress been made on establishing if a coding procedure exists for enabling the Traffic Jam Assist ("low-speed steering") functionality for North American and Australian FL cars that already have ACC & Lane Assist? Apparently European cars have this.

    8V VCDS Mods

    New A8 Launched with Android and No Jog Wheel...

    I never said that. But given two short listed cars of equal performance and good looks, the one with more useful interior tech will get the nod. Marketplace competition. Every driver has different use cases, but I'll venture to say the hardcore daily commuters and/or those with a single car...

    New A8 Launched with Android and No Jog Wheel...

    But the reality is, you interact with the technology inside a car constantly. Whether it be for environment, navigation or entertainment purposes. And while looks and driving performance absolutely matter, you can't tell the poor folks stuck in traffic commuting 2 hours a day that interior...

    Got a nail in a 2 month old tyre!

    I believe my tire puncture occurred when forced to drive through an accident zone - debris everywhere that I did my best to avoid, but apparently still hit something. And my sob story doesn't stop there. When Audi dispatched a truck to assist with the spare tire install, when removing the...
