    What is AMI?

    Thanks but I have an Android phone and all those cases seem to be for Apple products. Does AMI work with Android?

    What is AMI?

    Hi all, I've just acquired a 2013 Audi A5 S Line Black Edition. It has Audi Music Interface however I am unable to find much info about it. From what I can see it all seems to be about Iphones, Ipods etc. which will be no use to me as I have never owned and never will own an Apple product. Can...

    A newbie to the A5 club...

    Yeah it's a 2.0 Tdi Multitronic. And it's Daytona Grey. I was a bit skeptical of both the 2.0 Tdi and the Multitronic before I test drove it but I was very pleasantly surprised. The engine was much more responsive and pulled much stronger than I expected and the gearbox was silky smooth. Also...

    A newbie to the A5 club...

    On a complete whim (I woke up this morning with zero intention of buying a new car) I've just gone and bought myself this little beauty.... Can't wait to pick her up!

    A3 Saloon company car

    Taking off income tax on the £300 a month you're probably talking about £500. I'll be at a fixed work address but yes for the rare time I have to go to meetings I believe I will get expenses if I don't have a fuel card (I just did for my induction)

    A3 Saloon company car

    I've already got a car as this is a new job I'm starting. Basically you get £3,600 extra per year if you decided to opt out of having a company car and fuel card (which does include personal miles but I don't think I'll do over 10k) I'll be about £500 a month worse off. Not sure I can justify...

    A3 Saloon company car

    I am actually starting to decide against a company car altogether to be honest. Monthly tax for this car will be £276 (I also get a fuel card for personal use) then add in the fact I lose £300 a month in pay if I opt for a company car then before I know it I'm probably £500 worse off per month...

    A3 Saloon company car

    Hi all, Just about to order an A3 Saloon 1.6 Tdi S tronic Sport as a company car. Would have preferred a bit quicker engine but this is the only option unfortunately. There's a few options including heated seats, electric lumbar support, rear side airbags and storage and luggage pack (whatever...

    Facelift THE NEW AUDI A3 (2016 FACELIFT) – STILL AHEAD OF THE CURVE

    Hi all, I am just about to start a new job where I get to order a brand new Audi A3 as a company car. Apparently there are some options although I'm not expecting to be able to choose anything other than the basic engines and colours. However, I am wondering whether it will be the old model or...

    Wheel Bolts? Can Use Existing Ones On My New Alloys?

    If I were you I'd just get someone who knows what they're doing to put the new wheels including new locking nuts on for you....

    Urgent Help Needed With An 2.0 Tdi Problem

    OK just found the problem and it was a bit of an amateur mistake to say the least! When putting the pipe back on under the EGR valve I must have got distracted whilst tightening the jubilee clip and then forgot to go back to it! It was pretty much dark last night when we finished but opened the...

    Urgent Help Needed With An 2.0 Tdi Problem

    OK thanks for the advice. I've just driven the short journey home and the problem is worse. The noise comes as soon as the turbo spools up around 1.3 - 1.5k revs and the power is seriously reduced although I'm sure the turbo is still working. I darent take it much past this! Is there a chance...

    Urgent Help Needed With An 2.0 Tdi Problem

    Hi all, I have a problem that has developed on the wives 2009 A3 2.0 TDI CR that has done 113k. We had the glow plug light come on last week so took it to our normal Audi Specialist who said it was the EGR and that it was probably blocked. Instead of paying the £100+ for them to remove and...

    2.0 TDI CR noise when changing gear

    Thanks for the reply, it just seems strange that this sound has only just become noticeable.

    2.0 TDI CR noise when changing gear

    Hi all, my wife's 2009 A3 2.0 TDI CR 140 makes a slight whooshing/whirring noise when changing up a gear, most noticeable going from 1st, 2nd and 3rd. The noise occurs when you press the clutch down and lift off the accelerator and the revs start to drop. Only lasts for a second. Any ideas what...

    New Golf MK7 GTD Prices announced - not bad !

    Lol I'll quit now, considering I'm on an Audi forum. Just to put another question into the mixer, do you actually get anything with an Audi apart from the wheels and seats? I've just looked at an S Line sport back and some very basic features like cruise control, rear parking sensors and...

    New Golf MK7 GTD Prices announced - not bad !

    So the same could be said for the 8p1 and 8p2 then? Look I'm not against Audi's in any way whatsoever but go and have a look and drive of an mk7, then you'll see the real differences.

    New Golf MK7 GTD Prices announced - not bad !

    Lol that's because Audi have only released one car since the 2003 model was launched. If you count the mk4 Golf which was still being built in 2003 then there have been 4 versions of the Golf, and the mk7 is certainly very different to the mk4. The only reason you don't think there is much of...

    [/I]That last part of your statement also applies to the Audi A3!

    New Golf MK7 GTD Prices announced - not bad !

    OK here's the final low down.... 18" alloys and Xenons with LED DRL's ARE standard. Sat Nav is not standard. Give me Xenons over Sat Nav any day! Why would anyone buy a GT when a faster, better specced and better to drive GTD is only a tad more?
