    erwin Audi Digital Service Schedule

    Some time ago I created an account on erwin Audi and was able to go in and see the Digital Service Schedule for my A3. I logged in today and can no longer find the Service Schedule in the options. In fact everything now seems to require a payment, even options that were free before. Is anyone...

    Stop DSG dropping into lower gear going downhill?

    One of the things that annoys me about the DSG box is the way it downshifts when going downhill. For example, on my way home there is a long gentle downhill stretch that I take. As the car starts downhill it drops into coasting mode and the speed slowly increases as it rolls along, but as it is...

    Scratch on piano black trim

    I’ve now accumulated a number of light scratches on the piano black trim panel around the gear shift. Is there any way to polish these out and restore the trim to “as new” appearance?

    Increased fuel consumption

    My 1.5 tfsi MHEV Sportback has been consistently returning around 57-59 mpg on my mostly motorway commute to work but in the last two weeks this has dropped to low 50’s on the same route. Could this be due to the cooler weather or something else?

    Pre-sense fault?

    I had an unexpected message pop up today on the driver display. It was along the lines of ‘pre sense is not functioning due to the current surroundings’ and a small yellow circle with a car and ! appeared. It happened twice. First time driving through town and then about a hour later on a...

    Best location for rear dashcam

    Has anyone found a good position, on a Sportback, for a rear dashcam and wire routing the will not cause interference on the DAB radio? I've tried a couple of positions with the camera on the window and the cable routed around the window edge going to the 12V power socket in the boot but have...

    Turn off Coasting Mode on MHEV

    If I understand correctly, the coasting mode on the DSG MHEV is not active if the Sport mode is selected in the Drive select options. But is there a way of turning off the coating mode in other Drive select modes eg Comfort or Economy? Indeed, is there a way of turning the coasting mode off...

    Possible brake problem?

    Had my new Sportback for a few weeks now. It is my first DSG and MHEV so I’m still becoming accustomed to it. However I find the brake are strange at times. On several occasions it has felt as if the brakes are not working properly and I felt the car was not going to stop. Sometimes if I’m...

    How to turn off the headlights?

    I'm still getting to grips with all the options and settings on my new Sportback. But, maybe a silly question, how do I turn off the headlights but leave the DRLs on? The manual says Press the Light switch until the desired lighting function is selected. The selected function will be displayed...

    Air Con condenser - design fault?? Still on 8Y?

    The 8V had a much discussed Air Con condenser design fault that made the condenser vunerable to impact damage from debris thrown up from the road. Has anyone had similar issues on the 8Y or have Audi fixed the design?

    Audi Connect and TMC/TMCPro

    I didn’t renew my Audi Connect license recently but I thought I’d still have TMC or TMCPro available to give at least some traffic info but it seems to have disappeared and I don’t get the TMCPro logo in the bottom right corner that I’m sure I had at one time. I cannot find anywhere in the menus...

    My 8V Saloon has a fluorescent jacket in a little compartment under the rear seat and a first aid kit in a compartment under the driver seat. Do the jacket and kit still come with the 8Y?

    Puddle lights or not on A3 SLine?

    I’m due to take delivery of a A3 SLine Sportback at the end of May, hopefully. It is not clear to me if it will be fitted with puddle lights. From what I’ve read elsewhere it seems they may have been removed from the standard SLine spec as cost cutting. Has anyone taken delivery of a SLine...

    A strange question I know but, how many keys did you receive with your new A3? I've read online that Audi now only provide a single key. Is this really true?

    DSG operation with 'coasting' MHEV

    Does anyone know if the clutch is disengaged when the car starts to 'coast'. I assume it does as the engine is shut down. Could this lead to additional wear on the clutch pack as the car switches between coasting and not?

    DSG reliability in A3 MHEV

    Is the version of the DSG , DQ200, used with the 1.5 TFSI engine in the MHEV version reliable? There were a lot of issues with the DSG boxes years ago but can I assume these have been largely overcome?

    PCP and ownership

    If I buy a new car using PCP does the finance Co. appear on the registration document as the owner? I’ve read this is the case but the dealer says my name will be on the registration as owner and keeper? Is this correct?

    Illuminated Vanity Mirror

    Does anyone know if the illuminated vanity mirror is standard on SLine spec? My wife says it is an essential feature for our new car! I'm trying to spec a new SLine Sportback and it is not clear from the Audi configurator if this is standard or part of a Pack. On the audi.ie and audi.de...
