OK, I "think" it has gone! yesterday I ran the AC on full heat for a good 10 minutes, then later when I got home did an AC Bomb, followed by a pollen filter change, and since yesterday evening the smell hasnt returned. So fingers crossed its all sorted. Im not sure which action fixed it but...

Thanks for the tip, I did wonder about residue on the leather etc. I'll get it covered up Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Cheers guys for the suggestions. I've been out in the car this morning and as normal there was a nasty smell at first. As a test I tried driving for 5 mins with the fans/AC completely off and the smell remained, then turning the AC on to 26 deg pretty much got rid of the smell immediately...

I did think that, fingers crossed it isn't

@RyanCudlip good call, I've not had the A/C on for a while so could be connected. I'll run it for a few days see if it improves. I will also check for any signs of water, especially around the pan roof I guess Cheers chaps!!

I haven't specifically checked for water ingress but I have been all over on hands and knees getting my beak in as many places as possible to try to narrow down the source of the odour and haven't noticed any wet. But I will have another check for wet carpets etc, thanks for the suggestion

hey guys, It's been a while since I've been on here, had a few years driving a REALLY boring diesel, but now I've got a lovely 65 plate S3, and it's a beast!! But, over the last week or so it's developed a really nasty smell inside, I can only describe it as the smell of mouldy/rotten food...

in my experience it depends n the group that the dealer belongs to. When my last A3 went in for a door handle fix Leicester Audi (Sytner Group) wouldnt give me a car because of my 3 points!!. I went straight to Coventry Audi (Listers Group) and got a lovely 3.0 Quattro Sline A4!! It all...

When I first ordered the dealer was a little skeptical as to whether this could be done, but after a bit of a push he 'made a phone call' and it turns out that it can be.

Thank for all the input guys! Well, its now ordered: A3 140 Stronic Sportback, Black edition, with aluminium inlays, with Cruise, Interior lights, Light and rain sensors. Audi have done me a good deal, but have been pretty conservative with their PX value so my current A3 is also up for sale...

Thanks fir all the info guys, So as I have already spec'd xenons it should only really cost an extra £380 for black optics, tinted rears, bose, FBMFSW and titanium wheels. That sounds like a bargain to me! I already have the interior pack and the light and rain sensor pack spec'd Do you know...

yes, i agree, you could end up waiting forever! Im looking at the sportback in Aruba Blue at the moment, but I must admit I am liking the look of the Black edition now!! I am a little confused at how the black edition is priced? is there a set amount for the black edition as an option which...

Hi guys, Its been a while since ive been on the forum. I am just about to order another A3, a sportback this time. My question is... what are the rumours regarding a new model? Is it imminent? Do we know when a new model will be release? should I wait? Thanks in advance everyone! joel

In May I took my A3 to Coventry Audi for its first service. the car was serviced fine and all seemed ok until I saw this on the bonnet!! Unbelieveable!!:wtf: They agreed to repair, but later on that afternoon somebody smashed into me head on at 60mph and wrote the bleeder...

hi all, Is it just me or are the facelift rear lights rubbish when reversing at night? I find it really dark, almost as though my reverse lights aren't working at all!! I've checked them out and only one side has a light, is this normal? And would it be possible to get both sides working...
