    A1 Winter Wheels and Tyres

    Just bought and collected a new set of these from Camberley Audi for what seems a very reasonable £370. 16" Alloys and Dunlop Winter Sport 3D tyres. They have a few more sets left at this price for anyone local to them.

    Random Radio station after TP announcement

    Had a 4 hour trip yesterday and was listening to a combination of BBC R4 and 5 Live. on DAB I had switched back on TP Announcements recently and each time I had a traffic report it swapped back to a different random radio station about 50% of the time. After a while it got annoying so I can...

    55mph speed limit - sign not recognised

    Has anyone else travelled through the new "55mph" speed limit section on the M3. This had been 50 for the last 2 years but as its nearly finished they have chosen to 'slightly' increase the limit. Normally the car is pretty good and detecting any standard speed limit sign on a gantry or on the...

    A4 Avant 3.0TDI 218q first impressions

    Very early days, but I'm please with my choice of engine. I did not have the chance to drive an A4 with the 218 engine as so few around so it was a bit of a gamble. I had tried a 272 and this gave me confidence in the smoothness and economy. So far compared to my previous A3 its noticeably...

    3.0 TDI 218 quattro Avant ordered

    apparently it's build week 30 so can pick it up on 1st September. So not too long to wait. Slight leap of faith as have only driven the 272 as so few 218s about. Should be a keeper hopefully (A3 was only temp as I'd given up waiting for the B9) and 3rd Audi in Daytona (shame Lava Grey was...

    MMI Glitch - Side Assist

    Anyone had the following? I have Side Assist and I noticed on a trip into work this week that it had stopped working (e.g. no lights on the mirrors when cars approached). I tried to check this by going into the "Car Systems" option from the main "Car" menu, but each time I selected it it just...

    RS3 / Mag Ride

    Had an RS3 yesterday for a few hours yesterday thanks to my local dealer. Car did not have many options but did have magnetic ride. This was interesting to me in that this was the one major option I ended up removing from my original list for my own Sportback having been unable to test drive a...

    Car thinks its in Ingolstadt

    Weird one today. Coming back from Cornwall and car insists its in the centre of Ingolstadt and 699 miles from home! It even gave traffic info for Germany as well. Tried various MMI restarts on route back but it did not change. Have just got back so will see if a little break does it any...

    Cruise control increments

    Hi All, When increasing/decreasing the cruise speed using the lever it seems to be doing it in 2.5 mph steps. Is it possible to do it in 1mph steps (which is what my A4 did). This is a car with ACC. Dave

    Traffic Announcements volume too loud

    I have the Tech Pack with connect. I have tried to set the TP announcements to a low level, but every so often it comes up deafening. I've tried setting this whilst playing from various sources, with Sat Nav running etc., but every so often it seems to reset itself. I had a similar problem...

    Resyncing Keys

    Hi All, Posting on here in case anyone has something similar with an A3. Our A1 has advanced key and for a while has complained that the battery in both key fobs were getting weak. I tried changing the battery in one fob, but it stopped working the remote. I put the old battery back in and...

    ACC Hidden Menu

    Car is now in to have wiper fixed and I've asked them to enable the ACC menu which seems to have flummoxed them. Does anyone have any specific Audi TSBs or similar info that I can point them in the direction of? Just would like it done now rather than another visit.
