Cent Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Hi just joined up. Took delivery of an A3 45 tfsi e competition yesterday as new company car. Insane upgrade from the previous qashqai, but as family got older, the bigger motor not needed, so got back to a hot hatch. Previously had a mk4 golf gti with many mods that put out 236bhp, but the audi is on on other level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David90 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Lovely looking car. I’ve been waiting for mine since April! Still no delivery slot. Does the comp come with auto opening boot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cent Posted August 31, 2021 Author Share Posted August 31, 2021 Mine didn't. After watching pretty much every video online I could find, I thought it came with the ambient lighting too... Nope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David90 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Did you choose any extras? I’ve gone c+s but in hindsight I doubt I’ll know the difference. What’s the economy like? I’m currently doing a 61 mile round trip commute in a Kia Niro and averaging 70mpg, a little scared my pocket will get hit having read mixed reviews on the TFSI e and it’s economy.

Sh*tter it’s not standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cent Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 I was an inpatient sod and got it on lease, out of 10 companies only one found stock. Has the c+s pack, don't be put off by the initial month tho, they seem to need running in of sorts (and default settings aren't great) Current settings are Treb 2 Bass 5 Sub 4 Surround 6 3d surround high Economy wise, I'm still in honeymoon period with a heavy foot and weekly commute is 5 mins. So use battery only for that. Went to center parcs from Plymouth a couple weeks ago, used just under half a tank 1 way. The home journey was a bit more trying to avoid A303 which is a nightmare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cent Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 (edited) That's the colour I wanted lol Qashqai previously, family were still little when I got it so the space was much needed but not now. Before that a navy blue astra h, and the mk4 golf gti I mentioned... Also indigo pearl effect Edited September 1, 2021 by Cent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just had the Estoril blue BMW, but missed my old red golf, so had to go red again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cent Posted October 20, 2021 Author Share Posted October 20, 2021 It seems I have my 1st gremlin appear, long drive home yesterday it was fine.

ZAT Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 (edited) Hi all, just need some help. Got an a3 (71) competition from Dec 2021. Unfortunately, a learner driver hit the front grill, on the parked car, with minor damage. Cracked number plate and grill. Been for repair, but i can't seem to understand why or if there is a section between the grill and the lower vent being an open space? Help .. is this suppose to have this open space on the left side of the bumper, as the right side has a inset cover. The repairs have no knowledge and audi are not clear on this either. What has others got? Help appreciated Edited June 2, 2022 by ZAT Added picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cent Posted June 2, 2022 Author Share Posted June 2, 2022 (edited) Thats savage and hope it gets sorted soon, Yeah its an open space. Edited June 2, 2022 by Cent Spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See example below from a friends car, who has a blanking plate on both side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked my car, and both sides have the gap you refer to. They look like air intakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
