    Have audi changed the rear lights on late 2015 onwards A3s?

    Thanks, I did wonder if it might just be the standard halogen light configuration - I think the much smaller, harder to see indicator lights at the rear are pretty rubbish to be honest!

    Have audi changed the rear lights on late 2015 onwards A3s?

    Hi All, I keep seeing 65 and 16 plate A3s that seem to have (in my opinion) a much worse rear light configuration - instead of the large, very visible, long indicator strip I have on my 64 plate there is instead a really small, short indicator strip that isn't as visible when indicating. I...

    How to retune DAB radio?

    As per the subject, does anyone know how to do this? I couldn't find anything obvious when looking through the menus myself and didn't see anything when reading through the MMI menu. I want to retune due to the recent UK DAB upgrade where new stations were added and some existing were moved -...

    8V VCDS Mods

    A little OT but wondered if any of you VCDS experts might know - a friend of friend has a Diesel non Quattro A7 and using VCDS says they were able to enable AWD - is this possible? (I did some googling but couldn't see any reference to anyone having done this before - are all the physical bits...

    1.4 or 1.4 COD

    Did a 90 mile round trip yesterday in mine, around 40% motorway, the rest made up of windy country roads and town traffic. DIS indicated 49.8 mpg. I was not driving slowly. (1.4 COD). In pure town driving it varies depending on the amount of start stop between around 30 mpg and 45 mpg. Long...

    1.4 TFSI COD

    This is what ACC is for - I used to find the same issue with Cruise Control on my previous car - now I have ACC it makes life so much easier and works great in heavy traffic conditions.

    Sport or SLine

    In a perfect world I'd love the exterior of my car to have all the bells and whistles so that when it's sitting on my drive I get to look at how lovely it looks, but in the real world when it comes down to having say a more powerful engine, more optional features like ACC etc for the same or...

    1.4tfsi 150 COD or 2.0 tdi 150?

    From what I recall, in mainland European countries like France the governments have said they are going to be gradually raising the taxes on diesel and have said that it was mistake to promote its use over petrol so the price difference on the continent may be looking more like here in the UK in...

    Is VW (Golf) the premium brand?

    The golf apparently also offers seat memory and sunglasses holder options, seems odd that the more premium of the two brands is missing features. Is the golf missing anything good that the A3 has? (other than looks and interior ;-) )

    Audi active lane assist.

    ;) was waiting for someone to say that - mind you, I think I may have misunderstood - I don't ever indicate when moving back into my own lane following an overtake - does lane assist force you to do this? If so I can see the complaint!

    Audi active lane assist.

    I believe it's only if the driver is *absolutely certain* there is no one to benefit from the signalling - as it's often possible to miss someone, I still believe it better to always indicate your intentions meaning you never run into the situation of missing another road user who may have...

    Audi active lane assist.

    Why would you not indicate when changing lanes? It's a good habit to keep to even if no-one is around.... (it soon becomes second nature)
