Hello Gerry, No service book - all records will be digital for services carried out by authorised service agencies. Or receipts. Service intervals? Either annual if mileage is less than c1K/a, or Longlife which could equate to c18k miles or 18 months. Are you looking for evidence of previous history, or wanting to know what you have to do from here in? If you could let us have your anticipated annual mileage, and the current mileage, then we should be able to advise further. Regards, Gareth. p.s. brake fluid change every 2 or 3 years. Belt/s? Current recommendation is highly questionable in my book.

Hi guys, What are the service intervals for the 2017 A3 8V Petrol? Also, on the dash it gives you a "service due" and also another "inspection"? Whats the difference between the two and what are the service intervals? Also, are all the service records digital, so you dont need a service book, or should these cars come with a service book? Thanks.

FOR SALE IS A PAIR OF SIDE SKIRTS FOR AN AUDI A3/S3/S-LINE. I BOUGHT THESE TO PUT ONTO OUR SALOON A3 BUT AFTER ASKING MY BODY SHOP MAN ABOUT THEM HE SAID THE SALOON ONES ARE EVER SO SLIGHTLY LONGER, SO I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING FURTHER WITH THEM. SELLING BOTH SIDES TOGETHER, SO DRIVERS AND PASSENGER SIDE. MAY SPLIT IF ENOUGH INTEREST. ORIGINALLY OFF A 2015 S3 SPORTBACK, BUT I AM LED TO BELIEVE THESE WILL FIT FROM 2013-2020, BUT PLEASE DO YOUR OWN CHECKS. SKIRTS HAVE SOME DIRT ENGRAINED INTO THEM, THEY NEED A PROPER CLEAN AND ALSO PERHAPS A CLAYBAR TO REMOVE SOME OF THE MUCK, I'VE JUST GIVEN THEM A QUICK JET WASH. ONE SKIRT HAS A GRAZE DOWN THE BOTTOM, THE OTHER HAS A VERY SMALL DINK. IF YOU ARE REPAINTING THESE A DIFFERENT COLOUR THEN NEITHER OF THESE ISSUES IS A PROBLEM BUT PLEASE SEE PICTURES FOR WHAT I HAVE MENTIONED. OTHERWISE THEY ARE GOOD AND THERE IS NO ACTUAL BREAKS OR DAMAGE. THEY ARE IN A LOVELY BLUE/PURPLEY COLOUR. I BELIEVE THIS IS AN ORIGINAL S3 COLOUR. NO CLIPS OR FIXINGS INCLUDED, WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET, JUST THE PAIR OF SKIRTS. £115 ONO (collection Birmingham).

Thanks. I have a Carly and will give it a scan…👍

hope it's sorted this time.

Hi, Thanks again for all your advice, going to try and find someone who can read the live data.

No probs. As I say I went off what's for sake currently on autotrader. And all the ones with 204ps aren't listed as hybrid. But looking at Derek's comment it looks like I could be wrong as he has first hand experience of the A5.

Can't say I've heard of it. You could always get it checked by Audi or an independent Audi specialist

I have a 2024 A4 204ps petrol and it has mild hybrid so I'd be surprised if they hadn't carried it over to the new car. If you've had an Audi with mild hybrid in the past then it looks like they've made the energy recovery greater in the newer models. In my 2022 A5 coupe I could feel the car slowing slightly with it when I took my foot off the throttle but that effect is greatly exaggerated in the newer ones. It's not a bad thing, it's just getting used to it. I generally don't brake unless I have to slow down suddenly or for junctions so it took a while to get used to it kicking in. Especially when it decides instead to put the car into neutral and let it coast. I imagine that it's closer to how EVs behave with their energy recovery

In the end I'll ask audi, just wondering if someone here already knew.

Thanks, I have done but they don't know what the issue is. They think it's coming from the matrix. All diagnostics show no problems so I'm unsure what it could be and tempted to back out if the purchase. Some forums say it's normal and to do with cooling the turbos or something? 20250625_084523.mp4

Car was returned today, no problems. Nicely valeted and fully charged. (80% only)

Sorry to hear of your situation and for the delayed reply. p0299 indicates turbo under boost. Before writing off the turbo if get your mechanic to check the turbo pipes, as over time these can perish and where they attach to the turbo they can let sir through when under pressure but would look fine when not under pressure if that makes sense. Your second fault code 05171 supports my theory as it implies a boost leak from a pipe or similar.

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 yep it can be changed. You're probably best going for an aftermarket apple car play/android auto set up. You can buy these online.

Definitely worth a shot but I'd still recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up for the dpf. You could look at having it professionally cleaned but this may only buy you time.

If bought from a dealer I'd recommend getting it back to them for a diagnostic as they should fix it free of charge if bought within the last 30 days.

Just bought an A3 2.0 tdi 2017. Every time I stop I hear a gurgling sound coming from the dash or matrix. Done all tests for head gasket, no leaks or coolant loss!?????????

Wow cost me £21

Have you had the suspension checked for loose joints? It may be that the undercarriage is the source of the noise rather than the tyres?

Somewhere in one of the menus there should be an option to reset the standard or baseline setting. Don't ask me where as I don't know the A8.

Why not ask Audi?

i have insulated the total floor and also the plastic wheel arch covers with noise deadening sheets, also undersealed the wheel arches, and covered the boot, but it is still loud, ,when i drive on a good piece of road it is great / hit a rough part of road it is terrible , i must say for an upmarket car brand they have not thought of noise comfort , for all the gadgets and style this car has , it is a poor show for audi,. i am verey disappointed in the car because of this . reading on other forums, by changing wheels to 16" ones seems to reduce the noise , so thank you for all your help i will let you know if and when i change them how i got on cheers

Hi TPMS seems to have got itself stuck with the front tyres, inflated to 2.6 bar but the TPMS is registering 2.7 O/S AND 3.8 N/S. It does change so it’s not "stuck" but the baseline seems to have gone awry. it’s a recent problem since the hot weather (coincidence?) Initialising the system doesn’t seem to correct it. The rear tyres register fine at 2.4 bar. It’s just an annoyance with the ‘beep’. Is there a sensor in each wheel that needs replacing ? Thinking just wait and see until normal weather returns. anyone experienced this before with their TPMS? Marty
