    So, I have an Audi A3 (8v). 1.8Tfsi S-Tronic (2013). A bit of context: The car has done 70,000 miles, serviced yearly and not abused. Worked absolutely great no issues. I left the car to sit for 2 months and then I put a new battery in it (Varta, same one, Audi recommended I believe) and the...

    Gear changes in electric mode (A3 8Y tfsi e)

    Hi all, I am looking into getting a A3 8Y TFSI E (2021) but was wondering how does the S Tronic box behave in electric only mode? From what I've seen/read, the older E Tron (8V) still changed gear while driving in electric only mode. So changes could still be felt. With this newer car does...

Since last September it has been making a strange squealing type noise that appears for around 3-4 seconds then goes when pulling away and at lower speeds between gears but this is far less audible. I have tried my best with the Audi...

    Is it too late to change S-Tronic oil?

    I have an Audi 2016 A6 and have booked it with the dealer for a major service and MOT tommorow. I was going to get the S-Tronic oil changed too but the service lady said it may do harm to change it at this point as it was due for a change around 15k miles ago. She said that the car would have...

    s tronic auto downshifts

    Hi, I'm a new owner of a 2012 UK b8.5 S4 and have a question about auto downshifts. In S mode the up and down shifts are great, rapid and smooth and well timed. When in D mode the up shifts are smooth and the car quickly moves to 5th or 6th gear by 30/40 mph, so I guess D / normal is focussed...

    Gearbox Malfunction: you may continue driving (S Tronic)

    I had this message and have not found this solution in my search of forums etc so I will share it. It started as intermittent, became permanent and then it started holding on to the key because it said it was not in Park. The gear indicator lighting also behaved erratically. Fault code was...

    S tronic shift points from 1st to 2nd

    Hi, Is there anyway to get the shift point changed from 1st to 2nd as the car seems too upshift to quick in D & S sometimes causing the car to feel a bit sluggish. If I drive in M and change into 2nd later, it feels much more fluid and I wish it was like that in D. Any help? Cheers.

Basically I can only hear it when I open my windows so it’s something in the outside (a loud growling...
