    Just sold my old concert 2 headunit on ebay

    what was your returns policy on it? You know it worked so tell him that as well. Also the problem you have as well is if he paid by paypal he can just put in a claim against you at it usually goes in the buyers favour ( speaking from experience ) and he will get his money back, regardless of...

    Car back in dealers tomorrow, booked in with no time limit!!

    It was a dealer about 80 miles from Norwich, not in Suffolk or Essex. I was pretty peeved with them to say the least, In the end I was just glad to see the back of it, it caused me so much hassle, they didnt even give me a loan car while it sat there for months as they said I was wanting to...

    Coolant loss + ESP in the snow??

    Just a quick note, it is a 2010 model so I am assuming that it will have all the necassary anti freeze in from new, take it back to audi and get them to check it out under warranty. ESP should be off, I Think there are 2 stages to turning ESP/ASR off, dont you have to hold the button down for...

    Door seal question....

    I asked the same question at the beginning of this year, thought I would copy and paste what I said then, I will add an update at the end. As some of you know, A3's have this habit of the doors freezing shut when temp of about -2, mine is no exception. It would seems it is worst when it has...

    A/C Service Audi dealer advising to have it done during service

    Just to let you know that I paid £50 from Norwich Audi when I had my car serviced last month for the A/C service, it invlved re-gassing, decontamination of the 'bits' and then a freshener put on it all to take away any nasty smells that are caused in the cleaning. Cant say I noticed any...

    A3 Sline

    lovely picture, car looks good as well !! I love my s-line to, yes ride a bit harsher than I would like but handles really well. I couldn't decide on the 1.4TFSi of the 2.0Tdi CR140 either, I plumped for the diesel, but the petrol lump is very good, not sure why I went diesel.

    Can Audi tell me what work has been carried out under warranty?

    As far as I am aware some Audi garages log there work and services etc on the main system to which other garages can look up, some on older systems only have it on their group system, just call the garage near by to the previous owner ( check service record book for a clue) and it is likely they...

    Tyre Confusion

    The speed rating must be a 'Y' fitted as that is what is recommended by Audi, if you were to have an accident you insurance may be invalid. Go back to the garage and get another tyre put on that is correct, not worth taking a chance on it mate.

    mine is the 140 for the figures quoted, like heeman10, I have had 690 miles on a tank, but it was a long trip there and back averaging the 70mph on the trip. The best I have had on a 40 mile trip was 67.2 (according to the DIS).

    Audi A3 2.0 TDI Fuel Consumption

    I used to get about 47 mixture, 58-60 highway and 42 urban, it has dropped since it's service the other day. I would usually get about 530-550 miles on a tank, albeit from Shell, Tesco was a little less but not much. My DIS is about 2-3 mpg higher than I actually get.

    AVS Servicing - Post your quotes and dealers here.

    Mine are at 2mm at 16K, Tyre mileage is about what I am getting on my 58 plate 2.0 tdi CR, my rear tyres are wearing the same rate as the front ones, never had this issue with front wheel cars before, I always got twice the mileage from the rears. I did note that the bridgestone tryes have a...

    Tyre Pressure Sensors

    I have it specced on mine, as far as I am aware, if you change your wheel size it would think that you have a puncture in the tyre, you just press the button to reset to new size as you would when you chage the pressure. As far as I am aware it is part of the ABS and can be retroffitted...

    Freezing doors

    As some of you know, A3's have this habit of the doors freezing shut when temp of about -2 :cold: occur, mine is no exception. It would seems it is worst when it has either just rained during the day, snow or ice has defrosted and then frozen again. I had taken mine in several times to my...

    Audi keep delaying

    Thats no excuse, they have had your car that you have paid good money for, it is them delaying it, its not your fault, perhaps suggest they pay an additional premium to cover you on the loan car. They were willing to sell you this car with approved warranty so they should do all they can to...

    A3 Sportback Boot Liners

    I got the hard plastic boot liner for my 58 plate s-line, I was told by the audi dealership that they were different and needed a certain type, may be because I had the hard version. It is a god send as it is so useful. Not so sure the flexi one would of been as much use.
