    1.2 engine - thoughts?

    I have the same engine in my polo and can assure you, you will not be disappointed as it is very nippy and ideally suited to driving around town and a and B roads and on average returns around 45-50mpg.

    I'm already thinking ahead to the trade in and I haven't even got the car yet..!

    Too many variables to give you a good idea, depends on model,condition, to some extent optional extras, mileage etc, but have always managed to sell car for more privately than trading back with the dealer. Obviously this is the easy option as you drive in with the old car and out with the new...

    Hill Assist / Hill Hold Assist

    The model i drove did not have hill hold as far as i know and yes i did notice a slight hesitation when pulling off from a standstill, mentioned this to the dealer and he said that by putting slight pressure on the accelerator pedal but not enough to make it move it reduces the lag when you do...

    Hill Assist / Hill Hold Assist

    The 1.8 is a really good engine with lots of torque and a dream when paired up with the s-tronic box, i have only driven a 1.4 manual prior to this to be fair so the jump in power is definitely there. Yoy will not be disappointed i can assure you. Enjoy the car

    Hill Assist / Hill Hold Assist

    Test drove the 1.8 A3 on tuesday with the s-tronic and it behaved exactly as Handydave has explained above, really easy to use and a real bonus whilst driving through slow moving traffic in town.

    Build week question cod

    Has anyone heard of any issues with the Audi 1.4 cod engine? My dealer rang today to say that Audi are pulling the plug on the A1 with this engine as of today. Not sure if this will affect the A3 as well, or if this is a permanent move. He could only summise that the engine is having problems...

    Detailing the A3

    Deterring and removing contaminants is a vital part of protection/ finish of lsp but I still find that claying gives that ideal prep stage prior to polishing, even after removing tar and irons I still find traces on the clay bar albeit slight but this leaves the paint then feeling like glass.

    Test drive feedback

    Selar, thanks for the video and explanation helps me to understand the system better. The reason I was asking is that when I first pulled out of the dealership into the main road I tried to accelerate but the car was quite sluggish and not what I was expecting, my wife has the same engine in...

    Pan Roof and Options ?.

    I have the same roof on my polo and I think it is the same unit, if so like previous post it opens all the way back and you can open it to any position you like in between, IMO it is a good addition to any car and let's a lot of light in as well.
