Hi all, just got my '98 A3 1.8T 8L Audi, actually a downgrade from a V8 Holden Calais that was chewing up too much fuel everyday (I do 100kms / 65 miles per day driving). I also needed desperatelly to get back into a manual that actually likes going around corners. I chose the A3 based on my brother's recommendation. So far so good, a bit heavy on the steering and the turbo is a tad too touchy but it's fun to drive and looooves corners!!
A couple of quick questions,
1. Looks like I have some form of display between the tacho and speedo but nothing comes up there. Is there some way to check if I actually do have something that should work? I read up the posts on enhanced DIS but I dont want to spend any more money right now.
2. should I be resetting the computer? ie. does the computer analyse driving patterns and adjust anything based on that (which means I should reset so it forgets the other person's driving habbits).
3. what's the plug thingy under the ashtray? Is that the link to the computer?
4. the clutch is a tad hard so is the steering. Is this normal or should I be servicing them? The car has done 95k kms (60k miles?) and has done the 90k service.
Ohh and merry christmas and happy new year to you all
