    S-Tronic Operation

    I don't have hold assist but from all your comments looks like the safest method is to hold the car on the e-brake and not the footbrake. Thanks everybody for your advise.

    Switching from standard temp controls to electric climate control?

    How about one of these from Ali Express for about a fiver if all you you want is a temperature display. Cheap and cheerful but does the job and is fairly accurate plus you get the added benefit of a voltmeter!

    DAB waveband disappeared

    Probably right DjAlix. I have an extended warranty with £100 excess. The service rep did originally say that an initial diagnosis check would be £90 before being aware their IT man had a software fix for it. I'm a regular customer so maybe a goodwill gesture.

    DAB waveband disappeared

    I had this happen on my PFL A3 with MMI high. Took it into main dealers. They said they were aware of this happening on other models. It was a software glitch for which they had made up a "repair" SD card. They ran the card and the DAB was restored. No charge.

    S3 8V clutch or s-tronic

    My A3 is in the dealers at the moment getting a new DSG gearbox fitted. It failed after only 11ooo miles. Just the luck of the draw I suppose! Having said that I would choose DSG every time. Its the 21st century so its auto everything for me - gearbox, wipers, lights etc. etc. But each to his own.

Is it possible to bring all the...

    Servicing-Question

    Surely Audi drivers don't drive aggressively do they!! I think low mileage, cold running and short journeys will be more likely to bring down the oil change intervals. Anyway thanks for all the advice everyone, greatly appreciated. I've decided to book it in at Audi for an oil change at 12...

    Servicing-Question

    Hi Dr Eskimo, Thanks for the info. So it looks like oil changes on the variable servicing schedule for low mileage cars works out at roughly 12 monthly intervals anyway, same as fixed schedule.
