    What do you get from a full tank?

    Hi, Around 500 miles from my 1.6TDi - 8V which has a 50 litre tank. That's to red light just coming on so there is probably 5l or so still left in it. I also noticed the tanks are smaller in the 8V vs 8P. My 8P S3 had a 60 litre tank.

    Scheduled vs Confirmed Build Weeks

    Hi Paul, my car is only an A3 (not s3) but I was initially told by Coventry Audi a delivery date of late Nov, I received my car 16th Sept so needless to say was pretty happy! Not sure what factors affect the delivery date, maybe I got a slot from someone who cancelled..

    A3 real fuel consumption

    Hi 1.6TDi, I find it strange you think the 1.6TDi is noisy? I've come from a petrol S3 8P and now have a 1.6TDi 8V and find it amazingly quiet you can barely hear the engine under all but really hard acceleration. Before the S3 I had a 1.9TDIe A3 and the new 1.6TDi is light and day in terms of...

    500 Mile Mini Review! A3 Sportback 1.6TDi S-line

    Nope - been into Aberdeen Audi before and found them very reluctant to offer any form of discount! To be fair they offered me a good trade in price for the S3 but that was about it. I was also looking at a Q3 before deciding on the A3 and tried the trick of asking them to match the broker's...

    500 Mile Mini Review! A3 Sportback 1.6TDi S-line

    Hi thanks. Possibly looks slightly too high, definitely not rediculous by any means and it's not like it looks like its on stilts or anything. I was used to an S3 before which was really low so that's also possibly clouding my judgement a bit though! Will take a photo and stick it up when I get...

    Hi All, Up until now I’ve been silent just snooping on everyone else’s posts and doing research on my car which I’ve just taken delivery of yesterday! I got the car fom Coventry Audi and had the pleasure of a 7 hr drive back to Aberdeen where I live so feel that I’m fairly familiar...
