If you go to the dealer and get a solution (other than the software update mentioned by user dkpeters on this thread) please tell us! :-) As you say, try not to focus too much on the vibrations. Other than that it's a great engine

Welcome to the forum! I fully share your opinions. Although I regret you have the vibrations, I'm glad to see another user that has the same as I have. Not a big problem as you say, but the engine would feel nicer and smoother if it didn't have those vibrations. They are normal in this engine I...

Oh, Cuke2u, after all the people reporting vibrations on this thread in 2-cyl mode, don't come with this again, please. The vibrations are *only in 2 cyl mode*. So no steering, suspension etc

Hey, Chi! Nice to see you also on this forum!

You should see it in this view: http://i.ytimg.com/vi/G4Ywlf-AgSw/maxresdefault.jpg If I remember correctly, when in 2-cylinder mode the mile or km indication disappears to show a "2 cylinder mode" indication

Select normal view (leftmost tab) on the FIS. Press left thumb button and select uppermost option. It's the one that shows time in the upper part, miles in the lower part, and you can select (with the thumb wheel) what is shown in the middle part. Select instantaneous or average mpg in the...

I just wanted to drop by to say how happy I am after the update. It works so great now. Very few vibrations, and very weak when there are. How about yours, @J4MMYz? Any new sensations about it?

In my first days with the car I did some tests and I found the illumination was annoying too when set to maximum brightness. Not sure if it was because of flickering or just because the light was too intense. I'll do some tests to see if I notice flickering in that situation. Thanks for the...

Actually, those "well" tuned eyes are a source of annoyance with so much flickering :-) Yes, the effect is most noticeable when you look away from the light. I can then actually see the light at several places, just like in the photographs.

Yep. They do. Here's a proof. This is a picture of the A3 8V daytime LED lights, taken at 1/50 s shutter speed, without image stabilization. The catch is, the camera was moving vertically. You see five instances of the daytime light strip, which indicates that LED turns on and off about 50*5...

"Something that isn't actually there"? As I've said several times on this thread: speak for yourself, and your car. The vibrations may "not actually be there" in your car. But they definitely are there in my car (fortunately, much weaker now after the update). See the difference? You car, my...

Your reasoning is wrong. What happens is, some units have the issue, others don't. In the Spanish forum, for example, people keep complaining about some screeching in the rear brakes. I've never had that noise in my car. Not once, not ever. So, are they lying? Or imagining things "more...

I concur. You should average over a full tank or so. In that case I get about 40 mpg. And I'm really happy with that figure. I think it's great for a 140-BH petrol engine

What I said was, I had some fear that the improvement might be just temporary, due to an ECU resetting and eventually going back to "normal". But luckily it seems that was not the case. Here are some facts. Audi has issued several versions of an update for this. The update specifically deals...

The software update was reported by user @dkpeter on this same thread, specifically here (and also in some of the preceding posts). We really are indebted to this guy! It could hardly have been @cuke2u, considering he deemed the vibration issue to be something that "doesn't really exist, more...

In fact my 48-50 mpg estimate was not based on a pure highway drive. It was based on my commuting, which is mostly highway but includes some stretches of town. On a highway alone, without traffic, I probably get some 55 mpg.

My combined town/road average in imperial units is about 40 mpg. On a highway (not sure if that's what you call A road) with low traffic I easily get 48-50 mpg. My car is a hatchback, manual gearbox, no driving modes

Ah, ok. No, I haven't noticed any changes. The engine is supposed to work slightly better as the first few thousand km/miles pass. They say it will less consumption, and even more acceleration. But I haven't noticed that. Regarding consumption, it's specially difficult to be sure, because as...

I have about 13000 km. By "looser" do you mean the engine mount?

I'm glad you have it working smoothly now. I see your findings match mine very well. And my general feeling is, like yours, that it's much better now. The 2-cyl mode only kicks in when the car is warm enough, but that doesn't mean it has to be at the normal service temperature of 90 degree...
