    Tech Pack Advanced SIM location?

    Have had a new windscreen fitted today (stone chip / big crack - not even had the car 2 weeks) and following this work, the inbuilt SIM card is no longer detected. I can't get Google Maps satnav display or any of the Apple Connect data services that I should be able to get. The LTE SIM card...

    Driver-assist re-calibration

    Well I've had the new A3 for 11 days & love it. Dunno what Audi did in the facelift of the A3, but the new car is basically the same spec as the old one (with a few more toys added on) but 4 years newer. The engine is far more responsive and it seems to handle better too. Anyway, I digress...

    MY 18 Configurator - Now Live

    Interesting re: the price rise. I ordered my MY17 A3 S3 in early January (Sat 7th) and the dealers system was already showing the higher prices that were due to come in the following Thursday I think. He just manually adjusted the price to the one that was still current. Car now [finally]...

    Facelift Ordered a Hatch? Forget It!!

    Don't get too excited... check YourAudi again - mine slipped back from 17th April to 8th May overnight.

    Facelift Ordered a Hatch? Forget It!!

    Same here - had originally had a 22nd May build week - this came forward 2 weeks a few weeks ago. Just checked and it's now sprung forward to 17th April. No idea how often the YourAudi tracker updates, but I'll keep an eye on it as it sounds like Ingolstadt are increasing the production rate...

    Facelift Ordered a Hatch? Forget It!!

    I ordered an A3 Hatch (to replace the current 8V Hatch) in early January. The dealer re-allocated me an order from early December, specced to my order. Original build date - after 4 weeks wait - was originally 22nd May. This has already come forward to 7th May, so fingers crossed for...

    Facelift Ordered a Hatch? Forget It!!

    Ordered 3door A3 early January - dealer used a build slot they had ordered in December, but altered to my specification. Build week of 22nd May showing. By contrast, ordered my current A3 in early Jan 2013 and took delivery 1st week in March 2013 (& quite a heavily specced car too). Audi...

    Facelift April Tax But Promised March Delivery

    I ordered my new A3 (3 door) in early January & the dealer re-allocated an already allocated build-slot to my spec. I've got a mid-May build date showing on YourAudi. Thankfully, I had it written on the order form for an extra £330 dealer contribution (3yrs x £110 extra tax, as the dealer...

    No Build Week??

    What if I reset the service interval indicator? (The car has been switched between fixed & long-life servicing - had it on fixed for 1st 3yrs when on Audi Service Plan, so they were paying). They allegedly changed it to long-life on the last service - will have to check the paperwork - but...

    No Build Week??

    Spoke to both the dealer & Audi Customer Service. Both are singing from the same song-sheet - there is, apparently, unprecedented demand for 3 door A3's & the factory cannot cope with demand. You just have to wait your turn for a build-date. Even so, 7 weeks from dealer-order date and zero...

    No Build Week??

    I'm in the same boat - ordered a fairly heavily-loaded A3 on 7th Jan. Dealer has allocated me a car they already had on order & added my spec to it. Still at the "Welcome" stage on YourAudi. What is worrying is the order date shows in YourAudi as 9th December, so tomorrow that will be 7...

    Your Audi - how long for a build date?

    Just logged onto MyAudi and my order date now shows as early December (i.e. a month before I actually ordered). Fingers crossed this means they have allocated / re-specced an already on-order car for me. March delivery might just happen, for the current road tax rates.

    Your Audi - how long for a build date?

    Still no word from the dealer (or stealer!) or the Your Audi website. What is the best number to contact Audi UK on for some truthful answers as to what is / is not happening? 2 weeks now and nothing.

    Your Audi - how long for a build date?

    I half suspect that is where I got lucky on my current A3 order - the dealer (or rather Sytner group, so quite a big dealership) had a car on order allocated to them that they could modify. Time till tell.

    Your Audi - how long for a build date?

    Ordered my new [heavily loaded] new A3 on 7th Jan (a Saturday). Dealer placed the order on Monday 9th - can see the order in YourAudi order tracker. It has sat at the "Welcome / your order has arrived at the factory in Ingoldstat" status for over a week now, i.e. not even moved onto the "Order...

    Dealer couldn't get close to the price!

    Yep, it was about 7.8% discount on the new A3. I went into the dealership with 2 online broker quotes vs the Audi list price (all broken down item by item in a spreadsheet). When the salesman retrieved me from the forecourt after I had walked, they took next to no time to agree the discount...

    Dealer couldn't get close to the price!

    All the warning signs were there for the dealer. During the negotiations to buy the car I walked out of the showroom as the salesman was taking too long "talking to his boss" in the back office. I'd finished my coffee, so I walked out. Would love to have seen the salesman's face when he...

    Dealer couldn't get close to the price!

    The trick I used was to tell the dealer I wanted everything from them, e.g. finance & GAP insurance, so they saw £££ in the deal. Got them to price match an online broker for the new car price & got a decent part-ex value for my old car (guaranteed at the time of order). Estimated delivery...

    Factory fitted options - are these modifications?

    Just wondered if people on here know how insurers tend to treat factory-fitted options that vary the car from the standard specification? Given that all it takes to vary an Audi from standard specification is metallic paint, if insurers are classing this as a modification, then there must be a...

    No Service Book... correct?

    Is it right that you get no service book with a new A3? (I just got a cardboard envelope type thing to keep service receipts in). Salesman claimed that all Audi Service records are now electronic & anyone you want to sell the car to can just call any Audi Centre and have the service record...
