    Impressions after two weeks

    When do engines losen up? I've never had a new car, so this is all new to me, and it does feel tight, but getting there... Also do these 'tight' engines give worse MPG. Also FYI I brimmed the engine, and it says 470miles remaining, with the old 1.9TDi it used to sae 550 - 600 (sometimes more)...

    Impressions after two weeks

    Think I've got the same engine (2.0TDi), and done 700 odd miles on mixed conditions (mainly country windy A roads, and urban), and got 45mpg on it (trip computer 2 tells me that). I think on my old 1.9TDi I got 55 over 2500miles. I am too getting used to the brake, and the engine off (so weird...

    New A3 AMI/MMI Questions

    Mit, thats the cable I tried at first. I have quite a lot of cables I've collected over the years, heh, and tried both double USB powered, and single (plugged one into the MMI, and one into a powered USB port in the cigarette lighter I normally use for my phone, heh!). Tried both USB plugs in...

    New A3 AMI/MMI Questions

    Well I formatted to exfat, and that didn't work, tride vfat (FAT32), but had left the partition type as HPFS/NTFS/Exfat so that probably messed it up. Also my 160 is a 2 platter HDD, and the 80 is a one platter (so the 160 requires more power to spin up and continue spinning, although that...

    New A3 AMI/MMI Questions

    Well the cables arrived, and whilst I struggled to get my 160GB HDD working in it in the caddie I bought years ago, the 80GB hard drive worked fine. Interestingly the 160 was spinning up without issue, the MMI system just said "No device connected". I have a feeling it might have been a mistake...

    New A3 AMI/MMI Questions

    Well they have put one in the post wooohoo. They should ship with them. Mit the cover art works from sd cards if they are 500x500px or less. I have actually been through a load of my mp3's sorting out the images. It works with multiples to looking for ones at 500x500. Hope that helps.

    New A3 AMI/MMI Questions

    Well spoken to the dealer that delivered my car, and they're not sure if they're meant to give away AMI cables or not with the new A3s. They're calling Audi UK today to check (apparently they've refunded the dealers when this has happened for A6's in the past). But you got one Vertigo, out of...

    So how many have you seen on the road?

    Was that mine?! Have a TT on there too, week ago Monday? ;) Yes shame is white, but we got a deal on the last of a set that were pretty much already done. I'm not sure I've seen any apart from mine!!

    new a3 sportback vs a4

    Makes sense really for a number of those reasons! Wonder what else I'll find out about the car! Heh! Think I've pretty much hi-jacked this thread though! Wonder what Terry is going to choose :)

    new a3 sportback vs a4

    Thanks... I have now just made my boot around 10cm deeper all over... Why they got that?! Hiding more underneath.... pffft... thanks! So actually, it's not as bad as I once thought.

    new a3 sportback vs a4

    They adjust? Will check that later. I thought just rested on the spare TBH, will check thanks :) If it is like that, must thank you, as this'd be something I'm only find out when I return the car and be a little annoyed I'd lived with it for 2 years, heh!

    New A3 AMI/MMI Questions

    Yeah no phone box (I use it as a mounted Sat Nav anyways, so no point!), so no USB port in there, just AMI. I've seen screenshots around of various interfaces showing slightly different things on screen. I can't browse artists or songs or albums with the SD card, just the file structures. It...

    Friday!! \o/

    Don't have DAB (wanted it as an option, but the car had already left the factory when I asked for it please... :(), but the exact same issue as you with regards to the GMT. It's ridiculous that in this day and age a car can't set it's clock right by itself from Radio/DAB/GPS.... My older 2009...

    new a3 sportback vs a4

    I've found the bootspace of my New A3, smaller than the old one (New 2012/2009), it's just not that deep, and a little annoyed TBH! If you wanted clubs + push chair + sports bag might be pushing it a little. I have managed just the push chair + sports bags in the old one. New one just feels...

    New A3 AMI/MMI Questions

    Wow.. Thanks Vertigo for that reply to a new guy! :) It's a lease car, and I know there are around 5 types available (USB F port, Mini USB, iPod/iPhone/iPad, 3.5mm jack), nope thats 4. I do have the dealers details, and I did call last week and the 'technician' (hmmmmm, he was not very helpful...

    New A3 AMI/MMI Questions

    Hi all. Glad I've found this forum, seems to be more active than others around the new A3 in the UK! I received a New A3 2.0TDi Sport last week (might post some pictures later, as it seems you guys like pictures!), and all in all pretty happy with it so far :) My question is around the...
