    First service?

    If the car is set to "variable" service the notification will come up when the sensors in the engine think the oil needs changing. If it's set to "fixed interval" it will come up at around 9,000 miles. The first service is just an oil change. The second service at 18.000 is an oil change and...

    Next model A3

    Having purchased ten A3 on a bank loan or PCP my latest car is a Q3 sport 40 DSG Quattro which I bought cash. I started with a PCP to get the discount associated with the PCP but after a couple of weeks paid off the PCP. I inherited some money from the sale of my mothers bungalow when she went...

    Next model A3

    I am similar to you. I owned ten A3s over the years but have recently changed to an Audi Q3 Sport 40 s-tronic quattro. I basically needed more luggage space as I now have to use a mobility scooter and it fits better in the Q3 than the A3. I still look in to the A3 forum as I'm still...

    Next model A3

    I currently have a 2019 Q3 purchased because of the larger luggage area. It has a the touch screen dash and I set everything I need, including the Sat/Nav before driving off. In the time I have had the touch screen I have only wiped it clean (with a very effective cloth supplied with the car)...

    It's nice to see that the last posts have got back to what this thread is supposed to be ie The Next A3 rather than a general discussion on the future of cars.

    Next model A3

    I've had a 2019 Q3 Sport since May 2019 and personally I think the dashboard is fine and so does my wife who,because of my disability, does most of the driving. The Sat/Nav in particular is much easier to use than the one in my 2017 A3 Sport. I certainly not a touch screen loving youngster...

    Thinkware F770

    I have a Blackvue 750 dash cam and it appears the most import thing is to have it wired so that it is always on, even when parked. My wife to the car shopping the other day and whilst parked in the car park some kind person reversed in to the front of our car. Their car had a towing hook fitted...

    Anyone taken their A3 through the Channel Tunnel?

    Yes you remaining sitting in your for the whole journey. You car get out out to go to the loo, but other than that that it is better and more comfortable to say in the car.

    Anyone taken their A3 through the Channel Tunnel?

    I've taken most of my ten A3s through the tunnel, usually several times a year, and I've never had any problems. Like you I hate the ferries.

    Stop / Start not working

    Having the SS switched off does not mean it's broken, it just mean the driver, like me, does not like it. I switched it off using VCDS on my last two A3's and I have done the same on my current Q3

    Stop / Start not working

    It is possible that the previous owner used VCDS to change one of the setting used by Start/Stop to stop it ever activating. I did this on my previous A3. You will need to get someone with VCDS to check the figures. on my A3 I changed the value as follows: 1. Module 19 (Can Gateway) 2...

    Facelift 2.0TFSI quattro (190PS) vs. S3

    The model range for the Q3 is different to the A3, basically Sport, S-Line, Edition 1, and Vorsprung. The Sport has the most comfortable seats of any Audi I have owned and the Sport trim with a few options gives me just the car I want. When I purchased my current Q3 they offered the Sport trim...
