    Servicing cost of A3 8Y/8V

    Just a word of caution. The change in law was for cars purchased outright or on PCP. Personal contract hire (Lease) is different. As the car is not owned by you, the lease company can dictate where it gets serviced and often stipulate dealer servicing. Check your contract small print or you’ll...

    S3 Black Edition?

    Evening everyone. Not been here for years due to not being in a position to get a new car, but now find myself able to get the one I’ve been after for years - the S3 Saloon. However I was extremely disappointed to see that if I don’t want all the chrome and silver (I just find it too busy and...

    Shadow Pack for saloon

    You can get a black styling package for the A4 at least. Strange it's not offered on the A3 as well.

    Rejecting an S3

    Out of interest, if the dealer turns round and says its all within accepted limits, can they deny you the right to reject? I ask as I would certainly reject a car for an engine or gearbox issue but cosmetic issues might be harder to use as grounds for rejection. I bet that at least 10% of all...

    Where can I get this house sign?

    Anyone? It's made from metal, not resin. Looked everywhere on internet with no joy. TIA Philip

    The saloon is HOW much?

    Using the 'from' prices on the Audi website: A3 Sportback: £18,525 A3 Saloon: £24,305 A4 Saloon:£23,960 Doesn't compute. Even allowing for s-line vs base spec.

    The saloon is HOW much?

    I was eagerly awaiting the A3 Saloon, but now see that its the best part of £6k more than the Sportback. Not only that but the A4 saloon is cheaper! Really??? Its almost as if they've deliberately made it uncompetitive. What am I missing?

    Snagging list - what do we know so far?

    I've always wondered; can you reject a car if its had work done to it on that scale?

    New A3 Pictures

    Every time a new car comes out people say they hate it, but once its been out a year you'll be amazed how dated your 'old' ones are :D Ford focus, latest BMWs... I thoughtb them all hideous when they first came out but look awesome now. Well, maybe not awesome, but better than before!

    Running a new car in?

    Yes you still need to run-in engines. Use all of the rev range - don't stay at 3500k! Vary your driving and take it up to the redline every now and then (only when the car is warm) but don't bounce it off the limiter or thrash it.

    Why Are There So Many IDIOTS On The Road....?!

    Definitely go through the insurance. As NHN says he may try something later. How did he manage to hit you three times? Was he ramming you or something?

    How many miles...

    Yeah I reckon you're fine. It won't hurt to take it to the redline every now and again. Just don't bounce it off the limiter :icon_thumright:

    How many miles...

    Two schools of thought; 1. Thrash it from day one (I'd be terrified to do this) 2. Use all the rev range but don't be silly with it I'd do number two for at least 500 miles. Sounds like you've been doing that anyway.
