Hi all
I purchased my A3 1.5 in June and have had a number of issues. I was just wondering what everyone's thoughts were, has anyone had the same issues etc. My car is currently with Audi who are inevstigating. Below are the issues and findings so far:
MMI: This god awful slow, I mean, I turn the engine on and its about a minute before I can press anything, change radio stations etc. Outcome so far: They have checked it against another A3 he said it was same load times, I asked if you could change radio stations, go to satnav straight away etc he said yes, I asked if there was a software update applied he said yes, but not to address slow MMI. I will test when I get it back tomorrow.
Lights: I was getting an dash error advising me my lights were faulty: Resolution: fixed with software update.
Cruise control: I often get the message 'Crusie control system: currently unavailable. See owner's manual'. Outcome: Cannot replicate the fault (despite me showing photos) - his answer - sometimes it just doesn’t work.
Central locking when I forget to lock: As I have push-button start I sometimes forget to lock my car (as keys are in my pocket). I expected my car to auto-lock after a set period. Outcome: My car doesn’t have this feature apparently. I will check this with Audi UK as I’m not sure they are right.
He wants to do an overnight road test (basically someone drives it home for the night and back tomorrow) and wants me to pay for the petrol. I am not talking local here, maybe a 60 mile round trip! No chance mate!
I also have the juddering. I have not mentioned this to them until I have read these forums, so going to give him a call now to ask him to look into it.
