I have a 2010 2.0 TDi, and mine only has the blue full beam symbol too. The only notification I have of lights being on, is the light switch itself lighting up where it is pointing, but you can't see it, because your right hand is in the way! Same goes for the front and rear foglights, no visible sign on the dashboard. Seems to be a bit of an oversight really.

I have since ended up dropping £670 on a new headlight. Thankfully I fitted it myself, saving 2 hours labour charge. It didn't come with bulbs, controller or ballast unit, so they had to be swapped over. Adaptive cornering Bi-Zenons are great, but are they really worth this sort of money over Halogen?

That said, I'm happy now that they are fixed! Trying to forget the other things I could have spent the cash on.....

My A3 Cabriolet apparently has adaptive lights that turn, not that i'd ever noticed. Recently I had a message appear saying "Adaptive light defective".

My front left light has clearly turned left and stayed there, it can be seen pointing left from the front of the car. I understand that these have a habit of snapping wires, is this something that anyone on here has successfully sorted out with a bit of solder and some patience, or are there any other things I should be checking before I contact the stealers?

Well the A3 S-line wears 225/40/18s on lower springs, and isn't close to rubbing, so I would have thought so. Can you try them on first?

So I recently bought an A3 Convertible without giving too much thought to how I would carry mine and my sons bikes, assuming that I would be spending too much time driving around in the sun to really care.

I have since looked at my options, clearly a roof-rack is out, no bike rack seems to fit the 8p vert, and fitting a towbar requires cutting of the bumper, so that's not an option.

This weekend I fancied a nice long bike ride across Dartmoor. Lets just say that 2 bikes will fit in the boot of the A3 convertible! Seats down, wheels off (the bikes!), plenty of wiggling, and in they went! So that's a full size 29er and a 24" kids bike, and we could still put the roof down to drive there!

This car just keeps getting better!

I bought a 2.0tdi S Line Convertible in March, and am loving it so far! It feels very well put together and hasn't given me any cause for concern so far. Good luck in the search!

The driver information centre in the dash can tell you how many keys have been and are currently registered to the car. With only one key, I'd be concerned as the the location of any other ones, and potential security issues if they fell into the wrong hands. I'm not sure of cost of a new one though.

Hi,

Picked up my first Audi, an A3 S Line Convertible.

It's in great condition, brilliant colour (Monza Silver) and goes well!

So far I'm loving it, coming from a 2008 Focus it's a different world!
