    DRL Question

    It would certainly be strange if yours don't work when set to auto. As you say, they wouldn't really be DRLs if you can't switch them on in the daylight! I'm 100% mine are on in the daylight when set to auto. I alway see them reflecting off cars in front of me at traffic lights.

    DRL Question

    His sig says he has light and rain sensor. Isn't that auto lights? :uhm: If he didn't have auto lights he would have a DRL option on the light switch dial, which would also enable them to be on all the time. My brother has an S3 facelift without auto lights and he has the DRL option on the...

    DRL Question

    Are you sure they don't stay on permanently when you switch to Auto? That's how mine work.

    DRL Question

    I have auto lights too but I don't have a thumbwheel for DRLs. The only thumbwheel I have is for adjusting the dashboard lights. If I set the lights to 0, all lights switch off, whether it's day or night. Setting the lights to Auto ensures the DRLs are on permanently and of course the xenons...

    S3 Facelift changes

    Magnetic ride is a £900 option. They have improved the Haldex controller, and fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are improved.

    Just compared my S3 Sportback to my brother's S3 3dr which was delivered today, and to my eyes they sit at the same height.

    So what did the dealer principal say? BTW, is Audi Harrogate the one on the A59?

    TT RS In Autocar!!

    That's why I said uprated. Like they did with the 197bhp 2.0T, which went into the S3 as the uprated 261bhp version.

    TT RS In Autocar!!

    I don't think the GTI-R will be using the S3 engine in it's current form. I heard they'll be using an uprated version of the 211PS/350nm engine from the A4, which is also supposedly going into the new standard GTI.

    A3 S/back Discounts?

    We managed 7% on my company S3 Sportback. They were only going to give 4% at first. Sportbacks in general are more popular, so you probably won't get as big a discount as you would on the 3-dr.

    Ipod connection upgrade?

    Sure you're not getting confused between Audi Music Interface and Multi Media Interface? The RNS-E system in the A3 uses the MMI control logic. You need to purchase the AMI option on the A4/A5/A6 in order to get full track display etc.

    Why the negativity

    Well my educated guess would be that improvements to emissions and fuel consumption would help to improve sales in the A3 range as a whole, as clearly higher fuel prices and tax hikes are going to hit people. Audi, along with BMW seem to be two leading car manufacturers in this area recently...
