    PCP Finance Application

    Pretty sure as the credit is secured against the car you dont need to have a great credit rating to get approved. Plus its in the dealers interest to flog you the car so very very very doubtful you'll get declined. If you're concerned i would suggest calling the dealership, ask to speak to the...

    8V VCDS Mods

    HOW DO I DO THIS: - DRLs - make tail lights permanent or not (rear DRLs) I think that if the tail lights were permanently on with the DRL's the car would look so much better!!

    What do you get from a full tank?

    I got 526 miles out of 46.74 litres which equates to approx 51mpg. I'm fairly happy with this seen as though the car has only done 1k. (2.0TDI S-Line)

    A3 real fuel consumption

    2.0 tdi sportback. I've now done 500 miles and total mpg is up to 50mpg and I'm consistently getting 55 mpg on my daily commute (30 miles each way). Dont drive particularly slowly and my commute includes quite a bit of stop/start traffic. Really happy with the results so far. Still on first...

    2.0 TDI S line I have done around 250 miles so far and averaging 48mpg. I am already getting 50-55MPG on my daily commute (30 miles mix of motorway and town traffic) as well so hoping it will only get better. One thing i did notice was that when i completely filled the tank to absolute max...

    Must admit i noticed that when i had a test drive for the weekend. I think like any car, it can take a while to get used to how the fuel gauge goes down with the tank. For example my 8P diesel stays 100% full until about 100-120 miles then slowly starts to come down. I've got used to this over...

    A3 glacier white in west midlands

    MJCourtney - did you de-badge the S-line yourself or did the garage do it before you picked up? I'm thinking of doing that with mine when i get it because im not keen on the look of the S-line badge on the side of the car, i think it looks like an indicator.
