    The Audi Dream is Over

    No, not an S3, just a regular A3 Sline. As above really, just got unlucky with a Friday afternoon car. Had problems with the adaptive cruise which regularly has issues with the pre-sense rendering it useless, the sat nav which could only pin-point your location within about 200yards of your...

    The Audi Dream is Over

    That, the sat nav and adaptive cruise ... yes.

    The Audi Dream is Over

    So, after a thrilling 4mths of Audi waiting/ 4mths of ownership (6wks of which was at a dealership) my rejection has finally been agreed. Looks like I should have followed my instincts and not been tempted away from Bavaria. Thanks for the hospitality and to quote Douglas Adams: "So long, and...

    So if you ordered your car all over again....

    Thoughts on options I chose: ACC (when it works) is impressive but ultimately a bit disappointing. In hindsight I would've been happier with regular cruise. Not convinced about the nappa leather either over alcantara. The Tech Pack is great but the novelty of Connect has quickly warn off. Don't...

    Steering Issues

    Sadly, I do a lot of motorway miles and I'm only 2mths into a 48mth contract.

    Steering Issues

    Thanks veeeight. Will definitely be pushing Audi to get this satisfactorily resolved given there is quite a lot of evidence out there.

    Steering Issues

    Well, I'm glad it's not just me! Mines due for it's fifth dealer trip in 3mths on the 8th Jan when they're looking at this, faulty sat nav that doesn't know where the car is and the B Pillar trim which rattles incessantly In my ear.

    Steering Issues

    Howdo, not been around here much since I took delivery of the A3. But now after 5k anything but trouble free miles, another new fault that the dealer can't find is driving me spare. The latest gripe is that after a couple of hours motorway driving, the steering becomes very stiff around the...

    Well, The Honeymoon is Over!

    Three weeks to the day and the first fault has made itself known. :ermm: Warning message: ACC Unavailable. Audi Pre-sense has developed a fault. Marvellous!

    Efficiency & Performance - Running In Period

    I have heard from some manufacturers that diesels particularly need quiet a few miles on them (10k+) before they reach anything near maximum efficiency.

    First 1500 Miles With 1.4tfsi Cod S-tronic

    Well, made it back home with some interesting findings! 110miles of M5/M6 with the ACC set at 67.5mph. Average consumption on DIS 53.4mpg Then, 55miles of A-road through Peak District and some heavy footed-ness ended at 50.8mpg So, it is possible, but very much speed dependent! Also...

    First 1500 Miles With 1.4tfsi Cod S-tronic

    Interesting stuff, maybe my average isn't that far behind given the majority of my journeys are motorways 70+ (traffic dependent) and little town driving. Back up North tonight so will see what i achieve with some restraint.

    First 1500 Miles With 1.4tfsi Cod S-tronic

    I'm interested to know under what circumstances people are seeing over 50mpg from the 1.4 COD over a decent distance? I've now done 8 or 9 trips from Manchester to Bristol at varying times of day from rush hour to 10pm, with and without traffic and my brim to brim consumption average is 41.8mpg...

    Very nice.:hubbahubba: Three's 3Gb PAYG data sim has worked well so far for me to get Connect features running. Usage seems pretty reasonable too, about 250Mb per week.
