Things You Didn't Know Your A3 Did!

[g-man]

I had a look at this and I can see no way for the rear sun roof to open. It appears to be fixed in place.

Would love to be proved wrong but I just don't see any way for this to happen.

I did the same thing after I read Xpanama's post. I don't see how it would be possible to open...

What happened? how old is it?

In my old Fiesta there is a reset button on the control stalk, if you hold it down you get a diagnostic menu. Gives you all sorts of crazy stuff, can test your instrument lights, dials etc... Is there a similar diagnostic utility on the A3?

Had this done couple of years ago before I had VCDS, there is a box you have to tick in the convenience module to anable it, makes me smile everytime I do it!

 

[Subaruski]

Doesn't work on my 2010 TDI either. Maybe cause I live in the states and they take away all the cool stuff

You sure you're holding down the button for at least 3-4 seconds? It doesn't happen instantly, usually a few seconds delay. Could also be disabled on your car.

Can you be more descriptive? I haven't been able to find this "box" to check.

You have to go into the long code helper under coding.

Inline with the subject heading, I didn't know my S3 engine drank so much oil!!! I've almost finished the 1 litre can provided with the car. I've only done 8K of miles!

 

[paddy]

Check it out with other S3 owners kkp..My 3.2 has never needed any oil top up in 50k miles i have done with it ?

Before this i had a VW VR6 4motion and VW said a litre /1000 miles was acceptable !!! and thats what it drank

 

[VAG_Club001]

Cheers Paddy. So my calculations being correct, it is drinking a litre about every 1500 Miles atm.
