    How easy does the piano black on windows scratch?

    I'm starting to notice that every plastic bit on the car is like one or max two layers of paint, it's insanely easy scratched. Window piano panels still haven't had the joy meeting the road rock chips, but i got some large scratches on both mirror covers and you can easily tell just how totally...

    Face lift A3 2024

    The wheel on my pre-FL has the real leather feel to touch, this one feels like regular plastic. In general the feel of interior is just strangely low, might be cuz car is brand new(still has vinyl on some shiny parts), but might be also the shiny silver stuff they shoved on everything, doesn't...

    Face lift A3 2024

    Got a FL s-line loaner today (left my pre-fl for service), extra everything. The quality downgrade from pre-fl is baffling, what's up with the"leather" on wheel feeling so rough and fake, almost like plastic one on Skoda rental i had recently ... Had thoughts of upgrading to FL once mine gets...

    Pre-sense triggered on empty road

    It's more annoying when it actually doesn't activate when it is supposed to, think lidars are just janky in general. Never had those issues on other brands.

    Plastic cracks from around door/pillar area

    Same here around inner door handle, everything seems to fit when I'd try to wiggle, so in the end i pinpointed it to the actual handle, the 2 plastic parts sit just fine, but make sound from time to time

    Liner for rear part of back seats

    I have the regular TFSI (the "passive hybrid thing"), and i did exactly what you did, but I had other junk under so I couldn't lower anymore (black car, bird poop removing first aid stuff ). If one bag was just a tad bit thinner I'd make it the way you did. I'm contemplating just going to a...

    PM Activation

    Heya, I need to send PM to a member regarding a correct spare part, but it seems not activated on my account. Mind enabling it for me as well ? Thanks!

    Liner for rear part of back seats

    So I took out my 22 8Y to vacation and (no s**t Sherlock) couldn't fit two medium sized suitcases without pulling the rear seats down and tetrising around. In all kalaboush of getting late and kids etc, i somehow managed to turn the feet of one of the suitcases downwards and slightly indent one...

    Curbed Alloy

    One of the reasons I went with standard 16" is the damn curbs (and wife driving car from time to time..). Besides the comfort, i can enjoy my glossy black rims without fear (even if it looks like an excavator )

    Black stone chips on white s3

    The genuine kit should come in a set with primer and paint in your exact color code. The brush on it is useless tbh, you can get far better touch up brushes on Amazon/ebay meant specifically for fixing tiny car paint chips. Clean the spot well with isopropyl alcohol and use the primer+paint...

    How to get rid of machine wash brush marks on paint?

    So the previous owner of my '22 hatchback in brilliant black obviously never read the manual, so the car had been going to auto wash and has some nasty brush stains, or well, nasty when you look up close at least. Could some light machine polishing help with that(I'd have it done by a shop)? Or...

    Face lift A3 2024

    And I presume the heater on offer was the electric heater. I was quoted 3k for gas powered one... But to be fair around 3k on Autodoc for the original heater set, so I guess that's the price‍...

    Face lift A3 2024

    Ride felt stiff for some reason, also it was manual but that meant it shifted like pretty much any VW last 20 years, just fine i guess. Also got annoyed that lumbal support was not as adjustable as mine. I do like that they finally figured there's no point in charging extra for reverse camera...

    Recuperation set to automatic

    I just tap the shift up (+) when in D and at desired speed, that seems to switch to manual without gearing up, it's pretty much the same in Mercs that i drove.

    Face lift A3 2024

    My mother in law got the facelift (i have 22 pfl). I almost pulled the trigger on a FL, but then when i heard the residual value would be 75% i laughed my *** off so loud that the seller started blushing. Also, the prices are quite high (at least northern Europe), a base very naked spec (much...

    Recuperation set to automatic

    To keep it in lower revs when engine braking just flip it to M when at desired speed, i found that M2 keeps it at 1000rpm and engine braking, useful when spiralling down a parking garage where i find S2 a bit too fast for a 2nd gear As for start/stop, i hoped that just having a map in the...

    Recuperation set to automatic

    Does satnav linked recuperation work even when actual destination is not set (like navigate to place), or does it activate only when destination is set? I learned to play the recuperation correctly in specific places around town, but would be nice if it figured by itself.

    Audi Connect - only first 3 yrs free?

    Same here, seems like Audi dealerships globally just don't care about sales and after sales because they get a turnaround anyway. Feels like they have "no ask no tell" going around. Compared to say Alpha Romeo where i was pampered in 2 different dealerships in 2 different countries, got to drive...

    Missing Grille Badge solved

    The mount is ingenious and i think you might have a market, I'm reading about a lot of disgruntled fans complaining about the logo being gone. Your own printed logo might get you into legal trouble if you would try and make it a 1:1 replica (i know BMW has been chasing the replica market...

    Thanks for the heads up, I'm in the north so we're stuck with 6 months winter quality time Whats the suggestion on automatic then during freezing times, skip the handbrake when parked?
