Sounds similar to the problem we had with our 2017 Audi A3 1.4L petrol a month ago when it would not starts and on opening the bonnet petrol was observed running down the engine. Problem was caused by a leaking injector seal (seals on all 4 injectors were replaced).
I have a 2017 A3 Sportsback with a 1.4COD engine the user manual for which say for coolant top up use either:
G13 spec TL774J
or
G12++ spec TL774G
and it also states that it is possible to mix them.
Looking online I see that there is a VAG G12 Evo coolant that it says replaces G13 (the EVO it...
h5djr - Thanks for your reply
Yes the terms and conditions has sections covering Roadside, Recovery and At Home.
However, the text at the webpage your link goes to first states:
"All new Audi vehicles come with free roadside assistance for their first three years"
Which makes me...
A new A3 come with 3 year breakdown assistance for the first 3 years.
The question is what level of cover does this provide in the UK (roadside assistance, home start, recovery)?
The reason why I ask is that I currently have cover with the AA which is coming up for renewal and I was thinking...
spiriosdimos - 25 GBP is a reasonable price for 32 GB SDHC
However for 40 GBP you can get a 64 GB SDXC
128 GB is starting to get expensive in terms of GBP/GB and 256 GB is very expensive.
I had said some 3 weeks or more ago in the thread MY14 Brochure now available online "I notice that the manual 1.4 TFSI Sport and S-line fall into a £30 annual road tax category (after the first year) whereas the SE falls into the £105 road tax category, which I assume is due to the lack of...
Thanks SJW, what is recorded on our V5C is in line with what is recorded on your V5C so it must just be a problem that the insurance company are having in either identifying the vehicle as a Sportback or a 5 door model.
skyinsurance - We have been in contact with the insurance company.
To give some of the history, we advised that the vehicle was as "AUDI A3 Sportback SE". However, in the initial Statement of Insurance, against Make and Model it stated "AUDI A3 Sport", so we got in contact with them and...
If you have an A3 Sportback does your V5C in Section 4. Vehicle Details Sub-Section D.3 Model mention Sportback?
In ours it just states "A3 SE TFSI" although in Sub-Section D.5 Body Type it does state "5 DOOR HATCHBACK".
The problem is that the Statement of Insurance against Make and Model...
deci - the £400 for sorting the side was this quote on the basis of doing the two jobs at the one time? If not you should ask them what the delta is, as there will be certain activities, for example such as mixing paint which they will only have to do once.
Having driven both by preference is for the SE suspension. The Sport suspension seemed to be a bit harsh over poor surfaces, while the SE suspension is stiffer than I though it would be and seemed to be a good compromise between comfort and stiffness. However, it really is a personal choice and...
It really depends on whether what the Sport offers in addition to the SE or the S-Line offers in addition to Sport/SE is what you are really want.
In our case the best approach was to order an SE and add options to tailor the vehicle to what we really wanted and as such we added options to the...
k.hemlin, I agree it is always best in these circumstances to deal face to face with people. It does seem that you have reached a solution that in my view is the right solution, the only issue is in waiting for the replacement to come through. As I understand it a car dealer can refuse...
There is a What Car factsheet which may be of help in this case see http://www.whatcar.com/images/subscription/HELP.pdf (need to view on desktop computer) see section 3. Repair or replacement
k.hemlin, Have you got the registration document through yet from the DVLA (we got ours within a week)? From what I remember the engine number is on the document (I am out of the UK at the moment) so am unable to check. However, if it does the DVLA will need to be advised. The question then is...
