Welcome to the forum Mike, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂

the radio on top of the dash only came in on the 2013 and onwards. This model is known as the 8v. The model prior to 2013 is known as the 8p. They're both totally different cars. 

cheers

(Hi again,do all the models from 2013 (8v) on wards have DAB ? and do they all have the facility to connect an iphone or android phone ?.

Mike

Ok guys ans girls.

I haven't got my A3 yet but Im looking for one around the 12/14 plate, the thing is with what im prepared to pay ill be looking at one around the 70/85000 mile mark. what sort of mileage do the dpfs start to cause problems ?. My insignia was around the 102000 mile mark. And what about the clutches and fly wheels ? 

again the first one on my Insignia was 86700, the one thats in there now has done 105000 (193701)  The clutch an fly wheel fitted I think wii be around the 700/900 mark. With the DPS are they one of the easier one to have cleaned.

Thanks Steve, I know what to search for now.

Hi every one this is my first post,

I'm thinking of getting my Wife an A3 Diesel, at the moment my wife has my old Passat, but its very tatty now as it

was my old cab. We are also looking at the 118d but to be honest the cabin looks so much sweeter on the A3.

What I was wondering was, what variant and year did the radio on top of the dash come in this in my opinion looks so good, 

the years we are looking at are between 2010/2014.
