    New Audi A5 Cab v used.

    Hi folks, Just secured a Daytona Grey A5 Cabriolet S Line, 40 Tdi S tronic in standard spec. I'm blown away by the deal I've been given. Huge discount. I had been looking at a used one initially but the new car deal just trumped it in all respects. I'll be trading a 68 plate A3 Black...

    1.4 TFSI 150 COD flat ?

    I have a new Audi A3 S-Line Cabriolet with this engine and it feels flat at times. I previously had a 2013 Audi A3 1.4 S-Line 122 3dr and it felt quite a bit nippier. Better mpg too. Any thoughts ? I know the cab carries more weight.

    Newbie with questions.

    Just picked my new Daytona Grey A3 Cabriolet, 1.4 COD today. I've got some queries. Climate acting a bit strange. Set temp to 22, parked car up and returned, ignition on and temp showed low. Later in the day turned the ignition on and climate was switched off. I had to switch it back on...

    Order an S1 ?

    Hi all, Thinking of trading my "13" plate A3 1.4 TFSI 122 S-Line (Daytona) for an S1 (Sepang). I quite like the idea of re-living my youth in a nippy hot hatch. The stats and quattro are really impressive. Insurance and running costs aren't a major issue as I'm 40+ now. The main concern I have...

    Thoughts - buy back my old cabby ?

    Hi folks, I'm the current owner of a new A3 ("13 plate") but I do very little miles. 3k a year max. I've seen my old A4 Cabriolet ("55 plate") up for sale at a main dealer and I'm really tempted to chop my A3 in for it. It's the only car I've ever regretted selling. I would also buy a...

    A3 Cabrio and Saloon.

    Got the infamous rattle sorted yesterday and while at the dealership passed a bit of time away by chatting with the business manager. To cut a long story short I think I'm going to be looking at a new A3 Cabrio next year. I've had 3 cabbys in recent years and missed the open top experience...

    1.4 TFSI - "THE RATTLE".

    As previously posted I have the rattle btwn 2000-3000 revs. It seems to be more prominent when you ease off the throttle to change gear. Doing my head in to be honest. I've been on to the dealership and they have no idea what it could be. They say they haven't heard about the issue and have...

    Well done Audi !

    Well, I've had my Daytona Grey A3 S-line (1.4 TFSI 3DR) for almost a week now and I have to say it's absolutely fantastic. The car looks and feels the business. I've had numerous cars over the years (inc. several Audis and VWs) and this motor just cleans the floor with them all. Superb build...
