    erwin Audi Digital Service Schedule

    Some time ago I created an account on erwin Audi and was able to go in and see the Digital Service Schedule for my A3. I logged in today and can no longer find the Service Schedule in the options. In fact everything now seems to require a payment, even options that were free before. Is anyone...

    Stop DSG dropping into lower gear going downhill?

    One of the things that annoys me about the DSG box is the way it downshifts when going downhill. For example, on my way home there is a long gentle downhill stretch that I take. As the car starts downhill it drops into coasting mode and the speed slowly increases as it rolls along, but as it is...

    Scratch on piano black trim

    I’ve now accumulated a number of light scratches on the piano black trim panel around the gear shift. Is there any way to polish these out and restore the trim to “as new” appearance?

    Increased fuel consumption

    My 1.5 tfsi MHEV Sportback has been consistently returning around 57-59 mpg on my mostly motorway commute to work but in the last two weeks this has dropped to low 50’s on the same route. Could this be due to the cooler weather or something else?

    Pre-sense fault?

    I find it strange, and disappointing, that Audi could design and sell a safety system that may not work fully in adverse weather conditions when you may need it the most. So much for 'Vorsprung durch Technik', perhaps they should add 'nur in sonnig wetter'. Not functioning fully in rain or snow...

    Pre-sense fault?

    I had an unexpected message pop up today on the driver display. It was along the lines of ‘pre sense is not functioning due to the current surroundings’ and a small yellow circle with a car and ! appeared. It happened twice. First time driving through town and then about a hour later on a...

    Which engine to choose potential new owner

    I agree with your comments on the braking, it is awful. I've almost had a couple of accidents coming up to traffic lights on a slight downhill stretch. I've started to brake and the brake pedal feels 'normal' and the car slows as I'd expect, coasting then cut in and there is a sudden reduction...

    Best location for rear dashcam

    Has anyone found a good position, on a Sportback, for a rear dashcam and wire routing the will not cause interference on the DAB radio? I've tried a couple of positions with the camera on the window and the cable routed around the window edge going to the 12V power socket in the boot but have...

    Turn off Coasting Mode on MHEV

    If I understand correctly, the coasting mode on the DSG MHEV is not active if the Sport mode is selected in the Drive select options. But is there a way of turning off the coating mode in other Drive select modes eg Comfort or Economy? Indeed, is there a way of turning the coasting mode off...

    Possible brake problem?

    Thanks to everyone for their response. Certainly looks like a common issue. The brake feel is definitely not as good as my previous 8V and as a passenger my wife has noticed her journey is not as 'smooth'. I turned off auto brake regeneration to see if it would make any difference but still...

    Possible brake problem?

    Had my new Sportback for a few weeks now. It is my first DSG and MHEV so I’m still becoming accustomed to it. However I find the brake are strange at times. On several occasions it has felt as if the brakes are not working properly and I felt the car was not going to stop. Sometimes if I’m...

    AUDI A3 SPORT 35 TFSI 150 MHEV - Very jerky!

    Hi, I took delivery of a AUDI A3 SPORT 35 TFSI 150 MHEV Sportback two weeks ago and like you I've always had manual cars before. I've not found the car to be jerky but there are a couple of things I'm still getting used to. On a downhill section the car seems to prefer engine braking rather than...

    How to turn off the headlights?

    I'm still getting to grips with all the options and settings on my new Sportback. But, maybe a silly question, how do I turn off the headlights but leave the DRLs on? The manual says Press the Light switch until the desired lighting function is selected. The selected function will be displayed...

    Air Con condenser - design fault?? Still on 8Y?

    The 8V had a much discussed Air Con condenser design fault that made the condenser vunerable to impact damage from debris thrown up from the road. Has anyone had similar issues on the 8Y or have Audi fixed the design?
