    TFSI 140 COD: vibrations in 2-cyl mode

    I know this is a stupid question, but I'll ask it anyway. Is there any way of turning the CoD off. Maybe a remap or something?

    Cruise control cancellation question

    I usually figure, if I'm hovering over the throttle in case I need to take some quick action, then I shouldn't really be using cruise in that situation.

    changing brake fluid, using expired fluid ?

    I think you should do as you think best. You can afford a very expensive car, and obviously have good mechanical nous, so you're clearly not stupid. So why do you need other people's approval. Personally, I'd probably use it.

    Does anyone know if the Kufatec device has to remain attached, or is it, plug in, disable, remove.

    Heart says S3, Head says A3 1.4 Help me decide!!!

    Thanks to every one for their input. Though I'm no nearer making up my mind yet, there were some interesting comments. Clearly, either one would be an excellent choice in it's own right, and owners of both seem to be fiercely defensive of their choice. I've never made a decision like this when...

    Heart says S3, Head says A3 1.4 Help me decide!!!

    Yep, I agree with everyone who says "It's your decision" but can you help me decide. S3 owners, A3 1.4 owners, what are the reasons for your purchase, and what are the reasons you are happy with your decision to go with that model.

    Is anyone able to expand on this. Are they the same, if not, what is the difference?

    Heart says S3, Head says A3 1.4 Help me decide!!!

    Excellent post. These are exactly the issues I'm battling with at the moment. I can imagine driving the S3, and I'm pretty sure it would be fantastic, but I'm also concerned that I would be driving it like I drive the car I have now i.e. coasting whenever possible, barely touching the throttle...

    Is the S3 suspension the same as S-Line suspension?

    Heart says S3, Head says A3 1.4 Help me decide!!!

    OK, this is going well. Indulge me a bit. Let's say your waiting to pull out of a side street, into traffic. It's sopping wet, you spot a small gap in the flow, and you go for it. In my present car, V6 Mondeo, your met with a frantic scrabble of wheels, and torque steer trying to throw you into...

    Heart says S3, Head says A3 1.4 Help me decide!!!

    No, nothing like that. The old girl know's nothing about cars, doesn't drive, but does take an interest. This is purely my issue. When I decided to get an Audi this time, it didn't cross my mind to go for an S version. But reading this forum started me thinking "why not, don't I deserve it?"...

    Heart says S3, Head says A3 1.4 Help me decide!!!

    I only have one car. I have the cash to buy this one, but I don't earn a massive amount, maybe 50k I usually keep my cars for a long time, if I bond with them. My present car I've had for 18 years. I can see me holding on to a smaller, more economical version, for a long time, but I don't think...

    Heart says S3, Head says A3 1.4 Help me decide!!!

    I'm in two minds about the practicality of an S3 for everyday use. I know an A3 1.4 COD will be more than adequate for my needs. I only do a few thou miles a year, and am certainly no boy racer (57) I'm just looking for a few reasons why I should buy an A3 over an S3, apart from the obvious £6k...

    Order now, or wait a while?

    I need to order an S3 soon. But it is worth waiting until the 2015 updates are announced, in March or April. I have no experience of Audi, so what do the more learned amongst you think will be updated, added, deleted etc. Also, when do the price increases usually take place?

    Adaptive Cruise Fails to Brake to a Stop - Nearly Hits Car!

    Am I right in assuming, that the adaptive part can be turned off and it can be used as standard CC.
