    Tyre Debacle

    Can I ask what made you decide to buy a TDi when you do such few miles, I had a 8y 30Tdi that I did 36k miles in just over 2 years but when I replaced it this year I couldn’t justify the extra £2.3k extra price.

    A3 edition 1 standard spec

    Edition 1 spec does include front and rear extended ambient lighting, but you will find that there are cars out there not fitted with it due to chip shortages when they were built. Blind spot alert isn’t standard and only comes with the tech pack. Traffic sign recognition is a function on demand...

    Audi re valuing my part x

    What usually happens is the value decreases at the same rate as you’re paying off the pcp. So your monthly repayment figures should be the same on your new car as you were quoted
