Thanks for replying Trevor.

I had the Belts, tensioners , and water pump changed just to be sure last Summer. I will do about 6k a yr as I have some other vehicles also.

found my MPG pic. is this average or well good?

Hi everyone 😀 I am a new member, and thanks for admitting me to the group.

I have purchased a yr ago (June 2018) an A3 5dr, 2.0Tdi SE on an April 2008 plate.   I gather this is called an 8P (pre-facelift as it doesn`t have LED`s)?

I opted for the 6sp manual, with cruise / climate / wood trims/ reversing beeps.

I am so amazed at how there is no noises / clunks / rattles from the car even on bumpy roads! and everything feels taught and precise.

all my electrics extras work fine, and I am really happy with the car. My wife doesn`t like the central locking having to be pressed more than once to do all drs tho`.

on a gentle plod @ 50mph on cruise on A roads, I achieved 63mpg (got a pic of it somewhere?) which I was astounded it had done!

My Engine code is BKDC48082 which I believe is a 138bhp?  But TUNIT Performance say it is logged at 178BHP on their data base and DVLA?  How can I tell which it is? is it 16v or 8v engine?

any advice on this engine thing is greatly received 🙂 

I would def get another one next time around as after a yr of this one I`m well hooked on Audis 🙂
