    Drivers Side Glovebox from the Storage Pack

    Hi, I have a 8Y driver's side storage box available, 8Y2863084A in pretty much perfect condition, purchased a year ago, as my car is going back to the lease company. PM me if interested. £20 including postage.

    That was very useful, thanks. Just bought a TTS.

    TPMS

    Not sure what yours has, but mine uses the ABS encoders to measure the relative speed of each wheel and detect low pressure in the tyres from the relative change in speed. So with this system you won't see the actual pressures. In my car's manual it says to check the tyre pressures (when cold)...

    B&O sound system. Bear with it

    No farting here either

    Let's come up with ways to improve the interior of our A3

    The driver side give box is a good one. I'm just not impressed with the quality in the latest A3. Go backwards in the car and downwards and the quality drops off significantly. The carpets are absolute rubbish. The door cards rattle after just one year on the road. I can say that the dashboard...

    Phev trick for long distance cross country

    I just found out last week that if you select drive and then sport on the gear lever, then select battery hold or battery charge (in that sequence) that the car doesn't switch by default into auto hybrid mode. Useful if you are doing a long cross country drive and want to retain some battery...

    A3 edition 1 standard spec

    You can set it to flash the icon at a selected speed above the limit. This can be useful if you aren't sure what the speed limit is. However, it does, frequently, make mistakes.

    myAudi Traffic Sign Recognition

    I also bought this for six months. It's not reliable, so maybe that's why it's been canned? Our 2018 Skoda Karoq had this as standard, and it makes the same mistakes as the Audi version from 2023.

    Hybrid modes (battery hold vs charge battery)

    I have a routine when I get in the car: 1. Select key holder 2. Start ignition 3. Select battery hold or battery charge (depends where I'm going). Or rarely leave it in EV to go to the Post Office. 4. Press and hold the button to turn off lane assist 5. Press to enable Speed Limiter I have to...

    Mk 3 TT potential purchase

    Hi, I'm thinking about buying an early Mk3 TT, 230 Quattro with auto box (around 2015 - no particular car, just browsing at the moment). I've been reading scary things about cam chains on EA888 engines. Any thoughts? Chains should be good if the oil is kept clean but I read that these chains...

    B&O sound system. Bear with it

    I totally agree with all this. Speakers do need bedding in. And I like the B&O system. It doesn't match my indoor hifi system by any stretch of the imagination but still very good for car audio. If you need to find a differentiator between Skoda and Audi this is it. The Canton fitted to Skoda is...

    Warning - Connect app errors

    An update: According to Audi Connect support it is normal for the app and odometer to disagree by up to 3 miles.

    Warning - Connect app errors

    I just checked this morning and there's 3 miles discrepancy between the odometer and the app. I've tried refreshing the app and even restarting my phone and the car but the discrepancy remains.

    Warning - Connect app errors

    Just to alert anyone using the Connect app to track their milage. The app definitely does not agree with the odometer. Please don't rely on the app if you are recording milage to claim expenses, for example. Always check the odometer. I hope this helps others to avoid the hassle I've just been...

    Door mirrors

    This must have been commented on before? But I can't find anything... This is the only car I've had with this problem. In wet weather, at motorway speeds, water collects at the bottom outer edge of the mirror surround and gets picked up in the air flow and spattered over the glass. When...

    Extended Ambient Light Pack - Gone?

    This sounds about right to me. My car was someone else's cancelled order.

    Yep, MMI. There's no text at all now whatever the vehicle speed.

    A3 40 tfsi e - mmi login failing

    I fought with this for about a week when I first got the car. It seems unbelievable but I had to take the car to where there was a strong telephone signal. It just wouldn't work in the village where I live. Then the dealer had to go into their system to confirm that the car had been delivered...

    I wonder if this is vehicle speed related. I'll have to keep half an eye on it and see what happens.
