    Super - thanks for this.

    S3 mpg

    Hi all, Sorry for asking as I bet this has been discussed a lot, but I can't seem to get the search facility to return common feedback on people's MPG returns on the new S3's. Anyone have a link to a thread / want to give me what they're finding. Ideally driving steadily as it would be the...

    No Quattro?

    Thanks guys, I think it could be a combination of a lot of the things you have shared - WLTP, possible similarity in prices to the S3 when PCP configured up. Also agreed on binning the spec of a 1.5. So today we went back in and took out an S3 - was fun watching the other half being told to boot...

    No Quattro?

    Hi all, My other half is looking to replace her A3 petrol Quattro with a new one. Looking for a black edition, lots of tech options and she really wants Quattro. Using the online build your car there is no option for petrol, and when we poppped into the dealer to enquire it was the same news...

    A3 second service (40k)

    No it's a petrol Vertigo1. Thanks The_Ironist. Seems as though all the Audi prices are coming in around that mark for the service, but the gearbox seems an additional which nobody else has mentioned in their quotes yet. I've contacted unit 20 for a quote also. Dealerships - ugh!

    A3 second service (40k)

    Nobody likes a show off! :p I'm unsure mate, maybe someone else knows? :shrug: I just got a quote for her from another dealer and it's came in at £596 - sot it's a start to getting the price down.

    A3 second service (40k)

    Thank you gents, She's called them back up and they broke the price down to include: Oil Oil filter Inspection Pollen (I think) That came to around £400 ish Then the gearbox (forgot to mention it's a DSG) which was £300 and odd. Apparently the other garages she has rang are also quoting the...

    A3 second service (40k)

    Spot on! That's great to hear.

    A3 second service (40k)

    Exactly as I suspected. Just sounds ludicrous (granted I don't know the exact details). Thanks very much for the figures, and yours is an S3. My mates GTR service is £780, so I'd suspect an A3 to be cheaper! Going to need to shop around for quotes. Unit20 sounds good, though the car is PCP so...

    A3 second service (40k)

    Hi all, I tried searching on here before posting but using my phone and wasn't getting anything concrete. In short, my Mrs' 15 plate A3 2.0 s line, is due its second service (racked up 40k miles). Dealer has quoted £750 (I don't know the breakdown of what has been quoted) but that sounds...

    New car

    Hi all, I'm in the market for a new motor due to a change in job and more mileage. Sadly the S3 will need to go (if anyone's interested give me a shout). I've been looking at the small SUV/crossover range including Q3, X1, Tiguan, and more recently a Merc GLA 220 with all the trimmings, though...

    From S3 to A3 2.0 tdi?

    Some great posts in here gents. Rvtb101 my commute is the same (at the moment), and likely to open up to be bigger, but weekends I'm out n about a lot more, which surprisingly the S3 has been ok. On long journeys in getting 33mpg. Round the doors on daily commute obviously nowhere near that. I...

    From S3 to A3 2.0 tdi?

    Hmmmm some interesting stuff. I may indeed consider a petrol. My Mrs' petrol saloon seems quite good on the juice. I could be going overboard and opening to petrol's will widen a search I think. Love my S3, and my old 18T before that. I may end up keeping it longer, but I do find myself looking...

    From S3 to A3 2.0 tdi?

    So that's the 110 output. How long have you had it?

    From S3 to A3 2.0 tdi?

    anyone else got any feedback on the 2.0ltr 150 model. The 184's seem a bit more rare when I'm looking.

    From S3 to A3 2.0 tdi?

    I'm also looking at new S3's now.....it's not helping me! ha

    From S3 to A3 2.0 tdi?

    Thanks. I do think the power is poor from the size of the engine, and figured it's probably sluggish. Hmmm

    From S3 to A3 2.0 tdi?

    Hi all, Has anyone traded up their S3 to move down to an A3 Diesel? I'm considering it at the moment. Love my S3 to bits and wanted one for ages. It's got a great spec, no issues with it though I do more miles now, and think of getting something just a bit newer. I'm particular about what I...

    Reset service light

    Well I guess we can all have a bad day, but I've given enough chances to rectify it, and sadly lost some faith. Shame as he's a nice chap and from the community who seemingly does a lot more complex car programming. Anyway, now I need to find someone with a VCDS local (North east), unless...
