    What should I look for when buying my next A3 3.2l V6?

    Actually kinda tricky to hold it at 2k :¬P http://loque.net/car/IMG_1431.MOV Also Ross; mine has some DSG lurch issue in 1st which only really shows its face when warmed up and in stop/start traffic; seems to be quite common with a lot of the DSG boxes on VAG cars - can be relatively costly to...

    3.2 gearbox oil change

    After a lot of reading it is either: Mechatronic unit, adaptive drive needs a re-run, DSG oil, clutchpack - they said the same to me over the phone and re-told some stories of which order people have tried to solve it in the past, going in for diag on Monday so will know more then. If it is the...

    3.2 gearbox oil change

    Can you describe the behaviour, what causes/when it happens in a little more detail? No idea why they couldn't replace the gearbox oil... (they may not have had official oil handy?!) I have phoned quite a few garages this morning and finally chose http://www.datsc.com/ to take my car to as the...

    What should I look for when buying my next A3 3.2l V6?

    As I do more and more reading it seems I may be forking out for the a new mechatronic unit, which may be pricey :¬P - *meh* good thing it's a beautiful car :¬D drive it when it's warmed up!

    Where to take my beloved 3.2 for DSG help?

    Chatted to a friend about it last night and realised it only happens when it is warm, going to look into oil related issues with the box.

    What should I look for when buying my next A3 3.2l V6?

    I thought I noticed it doing it the other day (only very small bubbling in comparison) but will go for a spin today and have a look (I'll try make a vid for you holding it at 2k). I remember it being noticeably better after it had the patch applied to it. When I took mine in to Audi I was...

    What should I look for when buying my next A3 3.2l V6?

    In my one year experience: Well documented 3.2 v6 ECU update will need to happen (2k rev bounce) [SVM: 8P01A005], I had to get applied to mine and it definitely helped it. Typical DSG issues can happen (also pretty well documented) Changed battery which stopped my quite rare and random PRNDS...

    Where to take my beloved 3.2 for DSG help?

    TLDR: I am looking for a garage that has experience dealing with DSG issues as I am worried about paying to problem solve. Any advice is appreciated too! Hey all, So my 3.2 v6 is amazing, I am completely in love with it, and if it could talk, I am sure it would say the same about me - we have...

    Hi Haytch75, I will do my best, I basically googled "A3 3.2 V6 problem(s)/issue(s)" until I satisfied myself that there weren't that many, or that fixing them would still be cheaper than an equivalent 'sensible' A4/A3 _and_ that if I had to pay out to fix it, that I would still enjoy owning it...

    A cool, ye I have the same setup inside, I originally planned on changing it for RNS-E but have been happy with either current setup or car noise :¬P I have a tape adapter to plug my phone in for music, and pretty basic phone clip which I can use if I need to prop it up to have some GPS. I am...

    Hey RapsterUK, missed your post last time, glad you loving this car too! Definitely a lot of foot down temptations :¬D Do you have the sat-nav unit in yours per chance? (wondering if I want to see this through or come up with another option). I would recommend checking receipts to see if it...

    ECU done! Is lots smoother pulling away and overtaking seems quicker. I had noticed something happening at 1.8k~ in the revs before but had dismissed it whenever it occurred and carried on, that is gone now too and all in all it seems better behaved in towns. Very happy. Audi garage was nice...

    Hey Johnny, Like this? Liking the red a lot myself too man! This one is Yannis's (scroll up) and AFAIK is the facelift version. Edit: hmm, I have no idea what I am talking about, or even if those are the same reds :¬D ... I think they are different! Will have a look to see if I can find...

    Ouch. This 3.2 has a whole bunch of West London Audi receipts too and those visits were not cheap.
