    S3 Saloon - B&O sub location

    Cheers guys. As there's no space saver (just the tyre repair kit) I'm guessing it'll be in the parcel shelf then. I'll take a look when I collect at the weekend! Dropping from driving 22,000 miles a year to just weekend and evening use due to a change of job - so an efficient TDI is no longer...

    S3 Saloon - B&O sub location

    This weekend I have reserved an approved used 2015 S3 Saloon. I will be selling on my 2016 A3 Sportback TDI. Despite the car being about 14 months older it has 35000 less miles than mine which to me was great! Anyway, on my A3 the B&O sub is located inside the spare wheel, but I noticed this...

    Audi Approved Used Nightmare

    I think I know what car you bought, I remember seeing a fully loaded S3 advertised on auto trader by Chelmsford a few months back, for what seemed like a good price. I was going to go test drive it but it literally was up on Auto Trader for I swear no more than 3 days then taken down again. Had...

    Air Con condenser - design fault??

    If I got a non-OEM / Genuine Audi A/C condenser fitted, would it invalidate warranty for the entire car? Seems a bit silly if so, as surely it would only ever affect issues relating to the A/C system itself and shouldn't affect any other parts of the car?

    Air Con condenser - design fault??

    Definitely Audi UK? I've had same happen to me, stone strike to condenser. Quotes £750 for the repair by Audi dealership. I've been on the phone to Audi UK, someone in customer relations who said Audi UK do not give any good will gestures, they do not provide any sort of funding for these sorts...

    New UK Tax Brackets - £40k list or ROTR?

    So in my example of: £39,405 Retail and £40,590 ROTR - the list price that the tax is calculated on would actually be a figure in between those (but closer to the top value), and the dealer themselves should be able to work it out, but would be more tricky for the customer unless they know what...

    New UK Tax Brackets - £40k list or ROTR?

    Does anyone know whether the new UK VED £40,000 threshold applies to the list price of the car (+ options) or the ROTR price? As far as I was aware, the ROTR price includes (among other things) the first year's tax payment, so it would seem weird to me if you were taxed based on the...

    Audi parking system plus

    I like to use my Park Assist whenever I can for parallel parking just to get my money's worth aha! Part of me thinks next time I'll save the £800 and just stick with the Parking System Plus, but then I have found it a useful feature for the parallel parking quickly when others are watching...

    First service

    To stay within warranty do you need both the oil change service and the full maintenance service, or just the full? Because the mileage gap between them means they'd only be 6-8 weeks apart for me which seems silly. I've just ticked over 14k miles since March...

    Windscreen Wiper judder

    My wipers were fine when I got the car in March. 2-3 weeks after collection the detailer applied Gtechniq C1 + EXO to the paintwork, and they said the windscreen (not sure whether both or either?). Ever since then I've had horrendous judder and smears, which only go away with a blast of...

    MyAudi.com Map Update

    Do you have to download it straight onto the SD card, when choosing the download destination in the Java applet?

    Hill Hold Assist problem!

    Love hold assist, it would be a nightmare to do a hill start with an EPB without it imo, at least on a manual. There's been a few instances where mine hasn't come on (rarely) and I have noticed the car has rolled back a bit too. I thought hold assist would have prevented that but never seemed to...

    Facelift THE NEW AUDI A3 (2016 FACELIFT) – STILL AHEAD OF THE CURVE

    Nice one! Any info you can grab off him about BSP would be helpful, as not showing on configurator and my previous dealer said no word from his end about it yet but imagined it would come eventually..

    Facelift THE NEW AUDI A3 (2016 FACELIFT) – STILL AHEAD OF THE CURVE

    We've started to get some offers back from CarWow for a 1.0L A3 SB Sport for my partner. Ibis White isn't on Carwow so selected Glacier, but regardless best quote so far is 11.2% (including £500 contribution) from Huntingdon. Worst is £0 discount from I think it was Hitchin. They did offer the...

    Facelift THE NEW AUDI A3 (2016 FACELIFT) – STILL AHEAD OF THE CURVE

    Does anyone know whether the BSP has been discontinued? (I did try to search for this on here but only found 1 thread from Feb). My partner is interested in also purchasing an A3, but absolutely hates the chrome so BSP is a must. If not available I don't think she'd even consider a purchase...
