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

    I see they show for the saloon but not the 3dr A3. Strange. The magnetic ride extra used to be the case for PFL on the S3 i believe. Sounds odd but its a deal breaker for me and i certainly wouldn't be shelling out £2100 for 19's on a A3!

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

    Anyone know if you will be able to spec 19" wheels on the S line. Doesn't show on the UK configurator but does on the German?

    Knew it would happen sooner or later :(

    Had mine a month. Same thing, whilst giving it a good clean i noticed in the back pillar between the rear passenger and rear window a creese about 3 inches long. I was gutted!! Thankfully i got it down to some brilliant PDR guys and you would not even know its there now. Good luck.

    13 plate 1.6TDI

    Suppose it depends on your circumstances but the 1.4 COD engines seem to be getting positive reviews on both performance and economy. I will be taking a look at it myself in a year or 2.

    13 plate 1.6TDI

    Its actually pretty good to be honest easily get 40''s out of it!! Don't get me wrong its a great economical car just far from the published figures! It was even better when the road tax bill of zero came through last month! I love it!

    13 plate 1.6TDI

    Had mine a year! Been a fantastic car!! Got an S Line 1.6tdi and it does/has everything i need. I can't really say much negative, but don't expect anywhere near the published MPG figures, I am not really getting anywhere near them even with sensible driving.

    Good & Bad Fuel Economy 1.6TDI

    Got the 1.6tdi and have about 9K on the clock. My work run is about 35 miles, 95% motorway and sat doing a steady 70mph it almost certainly always gives about 57ish mpg. I have had days when it gives about 65.

    A Glaze - Anyone had it done

    I paid for the Audi protection package but regret doing so now, it makes me cringe at the thought of what Ive paid and the quality of job that no doubt has been done. But back when I picked up the car I was a lot less aware of whats available in the detailing world. If you want my advice take...

    Notchy steering

    Think mine may well be developing this little issue. Noticed it for the first time yesterday whilst on the motorway. Its very subtle but you can feel it, as if your steering past a notch for a fraction of a second. Tried it in two different drive select settings and its seems to make no...

    Anyone had Stop/Start issues?

    Sounds like a stall to me too, had this a couple of times and actually find it quite handy rather than starting the traditional way after a stall. Its my first diesel car and have noticed you need to change from 1st to 2nd a bit later than i would in my old petrol.

    Whats the best shampoo to use on a black car?

    Just used Chemical Guys Citrus Wash and Gloss. My previous shampoo was Glossworkz which was good, but i think the Citrus wash and Gloss may have the edge judging from todays results. Its highly concentrated and a little goes along way and seemed to produce better suds than the Glossworkz. When...

    A3 S-Line Tyres

    Thanks for the replies. Blackcircles confirmed as above that its simply an Audi original. Just asked if they had any more info on the AO, if it simply a marking on the bulk tyres sent to Audi or if the AO has a few tweaks. Audi will fit an new AO for about £30 more than the blackcircles generic...
