I too moved from a Civic Diesel and also had no issues and great service/dealer support from Honda. I kept mine for over 5 years and was disappointed in its replacement too. I would think after 7 years of winters without a decent heater that heated seats might be on your list? was top of mine...

I too am well over 6ft so its not that, but I had wondered. I just tested the front sensor (day time) with a torch placing it directly on the sensor - zero dimming until I fully cover the rear sensor - guess this is how it is supposed to work and it is indeed just me that as an issue with it...

That was sort of my point: Auto dim + privacy = fine Auto dim - privacy = poor :)

All rear head rests lowered, had considered this might be causing an issue. Pretty much looks like its me who has the issues then. I think, as per a previous post, that when there are bright lights to the front it gets easily confused - hence covering this sensor allows it to function, once...

I had a manual interior mirror in my previous car and it worked fine, in particular when so many cars have xenons that dazzle without a decent amount of dimming. I didn't really want to get auto dimming on the A3 as my wife's mini has it fitted and I didn't like it as it never seemed to be dark...

Exactly the same reasoning behind my COD purchase - more power - also the R/Tax saving over the 122 as well. Got my nice shiny new car and decided the best fuel was worth a go. I ran initially in 95 RON supermarket for several tanks then switched to 97RON Sainsbury fuel for 5 tanks and V Power...

I thought I would hold the record - 60+ out of a petrol is excellent, albeit at 55mph. We have a 1l 3 cylinder Aygo that cant break 55mpg which weights only 850Kg vs the 1250Kg of a sportback. I would be pretty interested to see how the standard 122ps 1.4 & 150 diesel engines real world mpg...

If you set the on board computer as per the picture in mine it will show the " 2 cylinder mode" when it activates. Light "loud pedal" pressure and flat motorway yields the best results, once you see it displaying you will start to figure out how to optimise. One thing that irritates me is that 2...

OK, So picked up my first Audi in December. Now 4.5K miles in and 4 months of ownership later I have only good things to say about this car; my best to date. I note that many people on this forum drop off once they have collected, so I am taking the time to post for those who stay around and...

Picked up my COD S-Line Saturday and having read on here that the 2 cylinder acivations, like the A1, does not display and no way of showing the clock unless using MMI screen up; well if running in on board computer mode on the DIS you can display clock, MPG and get the "2 cylinder mode"...

Below are the numbers I generated to compare 1.4 Std and 1.4 COD running costs over 3 years as a difference to the costs for the diesel. I Assumed 35% residual increase against the additional engine costs (+£850 for COD and +£2300 relative to the 1.4 std petrol). Assumed a 10p/l difference in...

I had many dilemas and many configurations when building my Sportback and the budget goal posts moved several times, but ultimatley I got to a point where every config had a core set of must haves. Mine were: S-Line/TFSI Engine: COD definitely appealed and drove me towards Audi as did the...

Here is a useful link to confirm what's being recommended by RobH_S3. The logic seems to be sound and still within the 4k running in limit as per Audi. This will be how I will run in, prior to researching I would have just followed the guidelines given by the dealer/Audi: Running in - Civinfo Wiki

Indeed I have seen that some advise this, the question is are they also the ones who have issues down the line :) A quick Google on TFSI oil consumption is what lead me to this post and the connection to running in and service duration; I know lots of guys on here will keep for 3 years and...

OK, So I have been reading up on TFSI engines appearing to have high oil consumption issues across VW/Audi range and started to form some thoughts. It seems to be that poor running in and variable servicing are being connected to some later issues with engines. Based on this research I have...

I am currently getting 42 - 45mpg from my Civic. Diesels are designed for motorway extended driving at constant spped. If I do this I can get 52-53mpg. The heavy diesel engine is not so keen on shorter start stop variable speed journeys, which is where I see the lighter petrol doing better. Add...

Excellent just what I thought, but there was not a consensus in the house - so this is going to help:). BTW, the COD engine is pick of the bunch for lower mileage drivers in my opinion. Going to miss the Civic diesel torque, which is not as strong in the 150 diesel I drove - higher gearing I...

New to Audi and to this great forum. Currently enduring the wait for my new S-line, which has an ETA of Week 51. My dilemma is: do I wait until January 2014 to register as a '63 plate 2014 or just pickup as an early Xmas present and get a few more weeks of '63 new reg on a 2013 registration...
