    How can I find out what suspension my Black Edition is fitted with?

    Update, bought an hours Erwin access only to find “data not available” for my car :frown:. I printed off some workshop manual stuff so all was not lost. Ended up calling into my local Audi dealer this morning and after asking nicely they gave me 5 printed pages of PR codes. :cocksure: Once I’ve...

    Retrofitting auto hold on Facelift 8V……

    Thanks , yes have come across that video. I think that’s it’s fairly well documented now though that with the FL models you have no option but to fit the button & loom to get auto hold to work.

    How can I find out what suspension my Black Edition is fitted with?

    Thanks, I might do just as you say with Erwin! I am a bit puzzled though as having looked on a version of Etka I can see no reference to a lowered version of sport suspension with regard to springs ,only a sports version and my TT (which the PR codes describe as having S-line suspension) also...

    How can I find out what suspension my Black Edition is fitted with?

    I’ve had a look and can’t really find the answer, but apologies if it’s been asked before….. Have just bought a 2018 Black Edition A3 Sportback and on the test drive prior to buying it I thought that the suspension was remarkably civilised, I had been expecting it to be really hard! My previous...

    Retrofitting auto hold on Facelift 8V……

    No, I think the most detailed instructions come with the Kufatec kits , otherwise I’ve just been reading all the threads on here……..

    Retrofitting auto hold on Facelift 8V……

    Thanks for clarifying. I’m resigned to having to fit the actual button and loom etc. It will have to wait for 12 months though as my car is under warranty and I don’t want to fiddle with things until the warranty has expired.

    What rim color for my A3?

    I don’t think that you can beat silver rims on a car. I just don’t see the attraction of dark/ black alloys as they just look perpetually dirty. My new daily has Anthracite Black Edition 10 spokes and whilst they look lovely in my mind they’d look so much better a nice silver.

    Retrofitting auto hold on Facelift 8V……

    OK , this thread has got me totally confused now! I’ve got a 2018 model Facelift 8V with ABS module 5Q0 614 517 CG , which going by a few recent posts can have Auto Hold enabled just by coding? So the opposite of what I’d been led to believe (that Facelift cars HAVE to have the button fitted)...

    Advice please , think insurance company is trying to do me over!

    Thanks, they’ve upped their offer by a measly £200 but they’re still having a laugh. I’ll take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service if need be as they’ve been so unpleasant so far…..

    Strange adjuster on back of washer stalk?

    I’ve done something and I can now see messages on my MMI screen. Can’t see me ever using it though!

    Strange adjuster on back of washer stalk?

    I don’t see any text messages on my MMI , could it be due to my ancient iPhone SE? My 8V has the Virtual Cockpit & Technology Pack so would’ve thought I’d be able to see them if the capability was there?

    Strange adjuster on back of washer stalk?

    Mine doesn’t do SMS messages, but I thought that was due to my device being an iPhone? I remember a friend having a 2010 A5 and that could receive text messages, don’t say they’ve cut the functionality in the 8V? Having said that, the lack of text messages in the 8V doesn’t bother me in the...

    Engine oil question…..

    Thanks, it’s a DCYA 2.0 TDI. Today I enquired at a main dealer and whilst I now know that some of the latest engines are indeed being filled with 0W-30 and the recommendation for older engines (as a bit of a retrograde improvement ) is to use the same grade, the issue is that I can’t find any...

    Strange adjuster on back of washer stalk?

    Thanks I’ll take a look. I hate the lack of red marker lights on my doors as they currently stand!

    Strange adjuster on back of washer stalk?

    I love it, but rather disappointed at some of the apparent cost-cutting. My 8P had puddle lights as well as illuminated red marker lights on all 4 doors. As my 8V has the full LED interior lighting pack I was impressed with everything including the illuminated sill kick plates. Then I...

    Strange adjuster on back of washer stalk?

    Thanks, you’re quite right and I feel rather stupid now! I had only noticed it whilst driving in awful rain this afternoon and in my defence it wasn’t the best time to be closely examining the wiper stalk!

    Strange adjuster on back of washer stalk?

    So I’m getting used to my 2018 model TDI Sportback. On the back of the windscreen wiper stalk facing the dashboard (not the adjuster on the front face which adjusts the intermittent interval) there’s a knurled adjuster that rotates. I thought it might adjust the interval between rear wipes but...

    Engine oil question…..

    Completely agree. It’s not rocket science. I shouldn’t be having to tell a Main Dealer that they’ve put the wrong spec oil in a car. Am not happy either that now the dealer is aware of the oil issue they’ve just said it’ll “be fine”. It’s not fine in the long term which is why it’s coming out!
