    Tyre or other damage?

    I had a wheel bearing go on me after a small accident and it was a very low-frequency noise that happened as the car got faster which sounded more like road noise than tyre noise. In fact, I was driving around for 2 weeks thinking it was just me being extra sensitive. In the end, I went to a...

    Wheel Bearing Part number

    I am pretty sure you need a new hub - you can't just get wheel bearings.

    Wiper judder

    I have this on my 8Y RS3 and the dealer checked it on another 8Y A3 and it did the same thing. Not great. I know your car is an 8V and mine didn’t do that so you should be able to get it fixed hopefully under the Audi warranty. I’m not sure Audi will help me though as it seems to be a “feature”...

    Facelift New to Smartphone interface - some set up questions

    Just to clarify if your car is a 8V then it doesn’t have wireless android auto and Audi connect won’t do anything in the app other than let you buy any services that have expired. For example, if you go into your Audi connect menu and it doesn’t let you access the features or it won’t let you...

    Facelift New to Smartphone interface - some set up questions

    Here are some videos to help. But your car may have wireless Android Auto in which case you don’t need a cable. But if you do require one I would recommend the one that came with your phone as if you only have cheap ones from Amazon they may not work. Also sounds like the dealer is clueless.

    Audi pcp finance

    You could do what I did - place an order for a new car from Audi and Audi will then extend the finance at the same rate while you wait for the car and build more equity. Of course, nothing stops you not going through with your new order - and keeping the finance at the same rate while you wait...

    Drive Select...

    Well I hate to disagree but on my RS3 it will say it’s in dynamic if it was in dynamic when I turned the car off. But it isn’t in dynamic. It resets to standard. It just says dynamic. So this behaviour is normal.

    Drive Select...

    Yes its normal. The car always returns to its default mode when you turn the engine off and on even though it shows the last mode.

    Rising used car prices.

    Whilst it is a good price - right now it would work out to be £7k in my pocket and no car! I will keep my eye on the used car prices and if they start going down will consider it BUT lets be honest the new car market is going to have the same issue well into next year and as stated my car is an...

    Rising used car prices.

    I have an RS3 and WBAC is valuing it at £33,780 based off 60,000 miles. I have just ordered a brand new 2022 RS3 and I am hoping that my car will be worth the remaining £9k of the deposit when the new car arrives. However the earliest it will arrive is probably end of December/January (as the...

    Rising used car prices.

    I just put my RS3 into WBAC at 65,000 miles (I have done 57,000) and it came back at £32,750. As things stand right now I have approx £27k left on the finance. I really hope these prices stick - as my final value Is £21k so that Is £12,000 for a new RS3 and a nice easy swap on delivery day...

    New battery required after 3.5 years?

    TAKE IT TO AUDI TO CHECK UNDER WARRANTY They may say it is fine, they may say it is out of warranty but I would get it checked by them first. (However they will probably charge you 3 times the price if it did need replacing so I wouldn't do it there).

    Wireless CarPlay

    I think you guys are not aware of how slowly your phones charge - for example a 12 Pro has a big battery so it probably isn't low to start with. I don't think there is anything wrong with the threads wireless charging setup BUT if your not sure and under warranty take it to Audi (who will have...

    bye bye google satellite overlay

    I can confirm that when my license expired so did the satellite view and it is NOT worth £11 a month to me. Also as to comment above - Audi are never going to know who did the update if they even noticed; and based on their service they won't.

    Wireless CarPlay

    Wireless charging is very slow. I am not sure of the exact charging rate of the charging matt but a quick search suggests it is 8W. To put this into comparison - the old iPhone plug charger was 5W - so it is very, very slow. In fact you probably get less than 8W as your phone moves around and...

    Audi Connect subscription

    As I said I don't know how you deal with the difficulty of plugging your phone in... if only wasn't so difficult and complicated. Avoiding those killer sharks and the electric fence before you can plug in the USB is a real stress... On a serious note you are right about the integration...

    Audi Connect subscription

    Audi navigation is TERRIBLE. If you start using Waze or Google you will find your journey times decrease substantially (assuming you don't know where your going and using navigation) As for the not wanting to take phone out the pocket excuse - again your missing out on much better mapping -...

    Is my Manual gearbox about to go?

    I’d point out the obvious - if you want a £600 bill for some brakes then go to Audi. If you would rather pay £200 or less go to an independent.

    Audi Connect subscription

    I emailed them and they said I had to buy it online.... Maybe I should reply and see if I can trust their arm a bit. But the answer is that NO the online traffic will not work. Honestly though why are you using Audi online traffic? Plug your phone in and use Google maps or Waze.
