    2018 TTS - Chain or Belt driven?

    Hi, I can't find the answer to this online, does anybody know if a 2018 TTS is chain or belt driven? If belt driven, is it a 5yr replacement cycle on the belt itself? Thanks in advance.

    Hi All, I've noticed an issue developing with the rear wiper on my 2015 A3 2.0 TDI, which is still under warranty until March.

    Cracked Windscreen

    Woke up this morning to find a huge crack on my windscreen (see pic). This was not present when I parked my car on the drive last, and I don't recall anything hitting my screen whilst driving yesterday which would account for it being weakened. Also I can't see a point of impact on the crack...

    Belt Change Interval

    Just noticed in my service book it says the toothed belt needs replacing at 133k miles on the 2.0TDI (2015 model). I assume thats the timing belt, and is it really 133k miles? Or is it 133k miles or 7yrs whichever comes sooner (although the book doesn't mention this)? Given my current 8k...

    Hi, During my 2nd service @ 36k miles I was informed that the S-tronic gearbox oil would need changing when the car hit 40k. Over the weekend the car rolled over to 40k miles, but the DIS hasn't alerted me to anything, I assume this is the truth and 40k is when the oil should be changed...
