    Stop DSG dropping into lower gear going downhill?

    This annoys me on mine as well, the downshift is often quite aggressive too. You could knock the gearbox into sport, it will stop the active coasting and leave the revs higher

    Do you need to maintain the nappa leather seats?

    You can clean them with a dedicated leather cleaner and brush, or seal them with a leather sealant

    How can I remove this mark on plastic above air vent?

    Barkeepers friend will remove that in an instant. It's relatively cheap from B&M / The Range

    Yeah it's totally disappeared now :) They greased a lot of stuff before finally agreeing to replace the steering rack.

    2020 Audi A3 8Y - Steering knock

    It’s hard to tell from your videos but mine sounds exactly like Agpe2023’s video

    Sorry for the delay in posting. I didn't grab a video but the car went back in today and this was their findings: Thank god for warranty!

    2020 Audi A3 8Y - Steering knock

    I picked the car up on Friday after their fix. They've lubricated a part of the suspension. Low and behold it's made no difference. So it's back in next month for another look. I will grab a video on the weekend

    2020 Audi A3 8Y - Steering knock

    I've funnily enough booked mine into the dealer next month to have this looked into. Mines a March 2022 build. It only clunks when turning right on full lock

    Best location for rear dashcam

    I have a road angel halo pro, smack bang in the middle of the window and I've not experienced any interference?

    How to turn off the headlights?

    It's only fronts that are permanently on, it's not law in the UK yet for the rears. I've coded my rears to be permanently on, easily done. The device cost about £85, but you can do loads of other things with it too

    S3 lights

    No it doesn't, but then they're always set on auto. The previous owner might've changed that through coding?

    S3 lights

    The previous owner has enabled the lock/unlock chirp and set the rear DRL’s to permanent. They’ve done this using a OBD App type device. I’ve done the same things to mine haha! You may find the rear lights also sweep on unlock, which isn’t a standard feature. To turn it all back off, you’ll...

    What have you done to your 8Y today?

    Really easy, I’m not the best with “DIY”. Just masked up the main areas for over spray, then used plastidip. It’s a peelable paint. So it’s easily reversible

    What have you done to your 8Y today?

    Blacked out my window trims and grille

    MHEV functionality differences between model years?

    I have a 22 and find the engine cut out when coasting somewhat annoying at times, especially when crawling or traffic, or hitting speed humps whilst coasting downhill. Especially when you're on large speed bumps that need a little acceleration. I find it causes you to lurch / jerk from time to...
