    2020 - A3 Configurator

    You'd be surprised... It's actually reasonably priced on the company lease I've managed to wrangle. The good thing is you pay 0% Benefit-In-Kind currently on electric vehicles this year, 1% next year, 2% year after which is basically nothing. The one I've got one on order is something...

    Audi A3 Dunlop SportMaxx

    I’ve noticed the thumbnail image also shows a different tread pattern. Interesting, though I imagine one tyre out of 3 is hardly going to impact that much. They’re both identical in price from what I can see (supposedly same road noise rating, wet rating etc). I’ll double check. Though it...

    Audi A3 Dunlop SportMaxx

    I would’ve thought so?! I’ve got no idea what the difference is, so thought I better check. It seems they’re identical prices and to me look like identical tyres. I couldn’t find a picture of RT2 to verify it has an actual “2”

    Audi A3 Dunlop SportMaxx

    Quick query really, I’ve got a screw stuck in my front tyre and to me it looks like a replacement rather than a repair due to the location. I’m aware Dunlop do a SportMaxx RT and SportMaxx RT2. What’s the difference and how do you tell? Ideally want to keep the tyre the same as what’s on the...

    How much fuel do you save when you set to 'Efficiency' mode?

    Difficult to tell, I actually think it's worse in my 1.5 - with a 13 mile trip varying between 20-60 mph. I actually believe my mpg takes longer to increase and generally has worse consumption than auto/comfort mode. I generally leave it on auto and it works out well for me. On auto/Comfort I...

    Miles per Tank

    That kinda sounds like my previous vehicle, the only issue I have is how do I get trip 2 to show instead of the trip 1 that resets? Has this anything to do with the 0.0 button that I’ve never pressed?

    Miles per Tank

    Out of interest without me being stupid - I've looked in the settings I can see and how are people getting their average MPG (without using fuelly?) - I only seem to get MPG per trip rather than a total MPG from a continual series of trips? Every time I go in the car unless I nipped out for 5...

    1.5 tfsi real world mpg

    As mentioned in another thread I do a journey about 12 miles everyday, (24 round-trip). I generally get 42-45Mpg each direction with a mixture of general roads and short stretch of A road, including traffic. I don't floor it nor do I let the turbo kick in when joining the short stretch of dual...

    Facelift Selling s3

    Interesting, this had just came out or just started to be heard of when I sold mine so I didn't try it but how easy is it to sell a car that's got finance etc and generally how fair is the price? Just thinking for the future instead of going to a dealer ... aka stealer and getting some rubbish...

    New tfsi or nearly new tdi?

    I think I remember reading this after buying mine and panicking... I used to get 38-40Mpg on the journeys I did in the Corsa I had. I thought it was going to get worse. In fact, I drove the same journey and I'm regularly getting 44-45Mpg. I did a 8 mile motorway trip on Wednesday and got 51Mpg...

    Facelift Audi PCP contribution now £2780! Is this the best it will get?

    That's so annoying, if only they had done that a little bit earlier... although it's at 6.4% whereas I'm sure mine is 4.5%

    Question about front/rear dashcam fitting in an S3

    Out of interest, was looking to get a blackvue eventually or similar but... I have a forward facing dash cam at the moment, will replace it with something more streamlined but for the meantime it does the job. How have people managed to run the cables in the headlining / pillars? I’ve...

    Had a little prang and thoughts change to tyres

    I have to agree, in a honest opinion I reckon slow and steady, especially in snow always gets you there. The only time I've been a tad scared was driving with under 3mm of remaining tread and I managed to get the car moving but it was a bit slippery at times. But had I replaced the tyres or...

    Had a little prang and thoughts change to tyres

    Out of interest, what was the tyres the cars come with? I'm aware Hankooks were one... there was a few others wasn't there? I haven't looked at mine but pretty sure they're Dunlops 18" at a quick glance. I didn't look too much into it, I'll double check tomorrow but they seemed 'alright'

    New Car

    Hi all, Finally got the vehicle delivered to my door yesterday and would've loved to take some pictures but the sheer volume of dirt on the car wouldn't have done it any justice. More to the point, upon the delivery agent removing the vehicle from the trailer he noticed something was making a...

    Facelift Audi A3 with technology pack inc Virtual Cockpit

    I guess it would be more valuable, that's almost a given. But £700, where is that figure coming from - they're plucking that from thin air and will that outweigh the amount of miles etc you'd be doing? See, there is that many variables I find it hard to believe you can just pluck £700. If the...

    Facelift Audi S3 Sportback Black Edition Waiting time?

    In regards to your detailing, is that the one provided by Audi? If so, interesting choice! I refuse to let the garage touch my car, they’re not going to valet the outside on purpose because I’ve seen how the Aston Martin garage details a car never mind Audi... the bucket of water they use is...

    Marcella

    Saw an A3 (white) in work carpark today, drove past and thought it was a black-edition, it had black roof rails but turns out it wasn't a black edition and was just an S-Line, ironically I went around to park further down and there was another which was the same in grey and also had black roof...

    Facelift Audi S3 Sportback Black Edition Waiting time?

    Picking mine up on Monday... But I had build week of 19th Feb, it was in t he UK within 1.5-2 weeks, at that point I could probably have rang the dealer but from leaving the factory on 19th Feb (approx) it was sitting in the dealership's compound by the 5-6th March. Relatively quickly, I guess...

    B&O with and without tech pack

    Haven't collected mine but I can assure you I didn't add the Tech Pack to my spec and it specifies it has a navigation system based on SD card (on-top of the one you get with AndroidAuto/CarPlay?), I think every car comes with this by default. To my knowledge the Tech Pack gives you a better MMI...
