Hi.

For my next lease car I am looking at an A3 sport back

I am looking for real world fuel figures for both these engines.

On the 1.4 can you specify if your engine is the COD type or not.

Thanks

Reports I've seen suggest the following:

 

1.4 TFSI manual - around 47mpg (45mpg COD)

1.4 TFSI S Tronic - around 41 mpg (44mpg COD)

 

1.6 TDI manual - around 57 mpg

1.6 TDI S Tronic - 51 - 54 mpg

 

Also bear in mind, not sure if the 1.6 TDI is part of the VW emissions scandal (it may well be) but if it is the software fix may end up changing these figures do the worse.

 

My pick of the bunch would probably be the manual 1.4 TFSI though I'm not really a diesel fan if I'm honest!

Thankyou James.

No worries, any ideas what you're going for yet?

Hi, I've had my A3 for nearly two weeks and I'm getting between 55-60 MPG from its 1.6 TDI

Sounds pretty decent Trevor are you happy with that?

not yet, lots of things to consider before making a decision.

Yes, it's my first Audi & I love it! A drivers car & a proper head turner it is too! Lol

Glad to hear it! Sounds like you've been properly converted then

If it helps, I have 2.0 (I84 BHP) S Tronic and in Comfort mode I get 54 MPG. In efficiency mode I get a lot less.....

Hi all. Just had my A3, and don't know how to display overall mpg, or journey mpg. The handbook not much help with this. Any advice gratefully received! 

Graham.

It should be in there somewhere Graham - it's usually a little switch on the end of the stalk I think though not 100% on the 2016 A3.

Unfortunately I can't check out the owner's manual online as Audi don't publish PDF versions but feel free to post up a few pictures if you want me to take a look?

Its a thumbwheel on the steering wheel. Left one I think. Turn it and each stat rotates in turn. Pressing the wheel resets the data to zero

I have 2.0 Litre Diesel (I84) Quattro with S Tronic, depending on the setting of the car (its has 5 different set up modes) in auto I achieve 54 mpg as an average with 56,  a personal best. In sport mode forget MPG, just enjoy the ride. 'Breath taking' for a diesel!

Thanks for the reply, I can reset mileage OK,but not mpg. So not sure if it's possible.

Just in case of stating the obvious, but the mpg read out must be displayed at the same time of pushing the thumb wheel.

Yes, you're right, thumb wheel on multi function steering wheel. Many thanks for info.

Personal best achieved:

58.2 MPG in auto mode, on the MI from Luton Airport to approximately M6 exit last Friday night.
