    Flexible service but car flashes inspection needed

    I run my 2.0 tdi 140 bhp 2015 on a flexible service regime which usually means a service every 2 years in June. Annual mileage is approx 10,000 miles a year. This July the car informs me on start up that an inspection service is needed. Being on a flexible service regime I do not think that I...

    Phone leads

    I am told that the Audi MMI lead does not work for different apple i phones, even though they have the same lightning cable. I changed my I phone 5 to a 7 and Audi tells me that is why the MMI cable does not work, and wants £68.00 for another. How is this if they have the same charger and...

    New tyres

    Cheers fro all the advice. Thinking of getting the Dunlop Sport RTMAX 2 - seems to have good reviews and wear better than Cntinentals. Other possibility is Micheln Pilot 4 - but not sur about wear and tends to be pricier

    New tyres

    My tyres on an A3 Sportback 2.0 tdi 150 bhp are now wearing out at about 18,000m they are Continental 5. Any recommendations for replacements. I have heard that Continental 6 are good. Wear is realatively important to me. Cheers, Martha

    Tyres - A3 2.0 TDI 150 SPORTBACK

    I have done some 14,000 miles and the front tyres look like needing a replacement by 15,000. I have only very rarely driven aggressively and therefore am disappointed in their life. I had hoped they would last to some 18,000 miles at least. Most mileage is on windy A roads with some tight...

    What mileage best mpg

    What mileage will a 2.0 tdi give its best mpg. I have done 7,000 in my 150 bhp tdi but on long trips mileage is between 53-62 mpg. In my 54 reg 140 bhp Golf I would do 62-70 mpg. Will my vehicle mpg improve with mileage. Cheers Martha

    VAG Admit Cheating Diesel Emmissions...

    Looked everywhere, but nobody seems to say what A3 are affected. Come on Audi tell us. I understand that engine ea198 is the offending one, but which engine is that. I understand engine 288 is ok, but again which engine is that. I have a late 150 bop 2.0 tdi which I believe is Euro 6 and 288...
