    Sold 2015 Audi A3 Cabriolet 1.6 Tdi Sport

    £10,300 2015 1.6 turbo diesel 79,000 miles Cabriolet ULEZ £20 Road Tax 55-60mpg. Over the last 37,000 miles it has averaged over 56mpg. I am the second owner of this vehicle. It's been beautifully looked after, regularly serviced and is trouble-free. There is one scratch and that has been...

    Instrument lights dark - when you need them!

    I refrained from posting this for a while as I thought I must be going mad. My 64reg Cabriolet (not an S-Line) happily illuminates the instruments at all times, lights on or off. However when the ext lights are off, the instrumentation goes dark when the car goes into a tunnel or under trees...

    When does the Brake Pad Worn come on?

    Just wondering if anyone knows how thin the pads have to be before the light comes on. I'm having mine MOT'd tomorrow and they are getting low-ish, hard to tell exactly, but no warning. I just don't want to be told to replace them if they are still within the legal limits.

    Where can I get this plastic screw?

    Noticed a strip hanging from the bottom of my 8V Cab today. There's a plastic screw that has fallen out (surviving one in the picture) - probably worked its way loose. Does anyone know where I can get one of these or have some sort of part number?

    MMI GPS Clock Change

    ....didn't appear to work this morning. Anyone else have the same issue or does it take a while to recognise that the clocks have gone back?

    Battery Question

    I think I know the answer to this, however: My PFL 8V 1.6TDi has recently started to take a little while longer than usual to start the engine on a cold day. So when I turn the key, the 'Engine starting' info doesn't pop up on the display as quick as it did a month or so ago. Also, the...

    A new thread about the cambelt service question

    A while back I (and others) have asked the eternal question about why the PFL has such a discrepancy between what the manual says and what Audi UK say is the required time between cambelt changes. As a reminder, the manual gives no time limit and a maximum mileage of 133,000 miles. Audi UK have...

    Turning off DRLs on non-LED version

    Can't find out how to do this. PFL A3 Sport Cab, no LED DRLs but the bulbed version is permanently on. Is there any way of switching these off? Nothing in the menu on the MMI seems to do it.

    Default for Radio Memory on Driver Display

    Pre FL model. Using the small display by the speedo, is there any way that it can be set so that when I flick over to the radio stations, the last setting is remembered? It's really annoying having to change from All stations to Memory list each time the car is restarted.

    Cab roof open when parked - alarm?

    Took the roof down today for the first time since getting my Cab. Then I realised that I have no idea what happens if I park the car with the roof down and lock the doors, which of course arms the alarm. Does the internal sensor switch off with the roof down or will the alarm still go off if it...

    All Cab owners - washing the fabric roof?

    So it's my first convertible. How does everyone look after the roof? Mine is currently in excellent condition and I just sprayed it with water when I washed the rest of the car today. I assume I can't use regular car shampoo (turtle wax shampoo) on it, but what is best recommended? Do you...

    Hub Cap hook

    Anyone suggest an alternative to the hook that removes the plastic hub caps. Mine's missing. Is a paper clip strong enough or a bent coat hanger?

    MMI Touch - do I have it?

    Another question - and I HAVE tried to Google for the answer - I was under the impression that I had the MMI Touch option where you 'write' on the top of the MMI's selector knob instead of dialling up each letter. If I DO have it, I am totally stunned as to how to make it work. And I don't see...

    Replacing toothed belt

    Possibly a silly question, but I'll ask it anyway. Just picked up this car yesterday and having a cursory look thru the Service Schedule booklet that came with it (the car is a MY15 TDI 1.6). Now, according to the booklet inspections are at every 19,000 miles. It then goes on to list the...

    "Talk button for speech dialogue system not used"

    So, the first of perhaps a few questions now I have my MY15 A3 Cab. The voice activation button on the steering wheel comes up with the message in the post title when pressed. I did a bit of googling and it seems that this is not activated on the cab because of wind noise? Which, if true...

    Download Owner Manual?

    Is there anywhere I can download the owner manual for the 2015 A3 Cab? I found one but it's for the USA and I am sure there are options, etc that we don't have.

    Electromechanical parking brake - manual?

    I'm collecting my A3 next week and I downloaded the owner manual. All references to the parking brake seem to be for automatic transmission whereas I am getting a manual. So I am a little unsure of how the release on this works if I am say, using it on an upward slope. I assume engaging the...

    Google Maps on MMI

    Hi all - new to Audi. Picking up a 64 MY15 A3 Sport Cabriolet shortly. I THINK it has the optional Technology Pack that would have been available in early 2015 as it has the parking sensors and cruise, and built in satnav. However I am a huge fan of Google Maps. I have read that it is possible...
