    First Service and Window Rattle

    So why would my first service be due exactly one year after purchase? I'm not really bothered, just curious.

    First Service and Window Rattle

    No one ever asked me! Or are you saying long life is usually the default?

    First Service and Window Rattle

    I just had my first oil change service. I was mindly surprised that Audi have now put me on a long life service, apparently based on my 8500 mileage. Is this reasonable? During my 8 years as a Golf owner the consensus was that time and distance was preferable and long life should be avoided...

    Winter wheels and tyres

    I've got my winter shoes all ready to put on but it just isn't cold enough yet.

    Torn between 2.0 TDI 150 and 184Q

    The discussion seems to have shifted slightly to FWD vs Quattro but the OP seems set on s-tronic so he would have to get Quattro if he went with the 184, so that argument is moot. So going back to comparing the 150 with the 184, most reviews recommend the 150 as being the best all-rounder, with...

    A3 S Line Sportback Audi Phone Box...Is it needed?

    I've had phone box for a year now and I can pretty much categorically say it does nothing for my phone signal. And I've never used the USB socket either. So it was my one mistake out of a whole bunch of successful options.

    Sat Nav Home Address

    There's a school of thought that says it's safer not to have your home address programmed in. Just pick it from recents when you need it.

    Sound system Woes

    I feel your pain, the standard system is quite poor even compared with other cars' standard systems. I can't directly advise but there have been a few threads here discussing exactly the same topic of trying to upgrade. Try some searches and you will find them.

    B&O Settings

    Hah, same reason I have for cranking it up!

    B&O Settings

    I suppose the original volume setting of the music file itself is a factor (or am I talking rubbish?) but I've happily gone up to 35 though around 30 is my level if I'm in a loud mood. Still no distortion (except to my eardrums I guess).

    B&O Settings

    PhilA4 makes a good point, make a real effort to use high quality music. Plenty of other threads on this though. I personally do not use Gala, I want my music loud whatever speed I am doing!

    B&O Settings

    I immediately found improvement, to my ears, by dialling up the bass and sub to "2 o'clock". I left everything else as is.

    What would you do?

    Simple. Ask yourself why you chose the sportback. Was it just a close run thing based on looks, or will you ending up cursing the switch to a saloon the day you are trying to get a chest of drawers in the boot?

    Cool! Just don't make it angry. You wouldn't like it when it's angry...

    Kill Switch

    That's disappointing. Now I need to retract my Yes vote...

    Kill Switch

    You mean something to kill the person driving off in your car? Not sure that this would be legal.

    50kg's worth? Good luck with that, then go see a doctor.

    Neutral on S-tronic gearbox - do you ever use it? :)

    Makes sense, though I'm now trying to imagine you engaging the brake pedal 'manually'. :confused:

    apple lightning Audi cable.

    Definitely album art through green cable. Have never tried video, can't imagine wanting to either.

    MMI cable

    Shame about the build quality issues. With the green cable I twisted my phone slightly and the whole black box fell in half. Looks like the yellow one is not much more robust.
