The only other thing to consider is choice - 19's are not as prevalent as 18's so the tyre choice may be more limited (and expensive). I had 19's on a 61 Touareg and they were fine but on a car as has been said, they might compromise the ride.

That's a shame - it sounds like you need to get the door "connected" back to the ecu / entry system. The mechanical bits need the electronics!

I posted this link on another thread - https://www.youtube.com/shorts/osWj4f-Mn7g - might be worth a try? also this one is slightly different to your method https://youtu.be/QkIdVobV_UI?si=z0dO4wwsFD8_HBsQ - again worth a try.

Season's greetings and all the best to you and yours! 🎄

The myaudi app will also give you the configuration - you can also go to their website - https://my.audi.com/ - in both, once you register your vehicle you can get details of the equipment and service history. You might also have access to Audi connect for a trial period and at least one option to upload the latest maps. It sounds (no pun intended) like you have the Bose subwoofer? Mine takes up th ewhole spare wheel area but I have seen a Q7 where the sub woofer fits inside the space saver wheel. As for keyless entry - I think that they have the mechanical options all attached to the door but mine also has the little rectangles that suggest keyless but they aren't connected ot anything 😞

I think that it's part of EU regulations that every new vehicle has to have a speed limiter - just another attack on our freedom 😠

Have you tried this reset option? You'll need your 5 year old to try it https://youtube.com/shorts/osWj4f-Mn7g?si=v-EY7cUPTYl6L5Gd

You should have something like this in your glove box You may have to pull a plastic lever to release it from the top of the glovebox? As for the costs of the internal SIM - it's not chealp and is managed by a German company I think. If you download the myAudi app you can set your car up on audi connect for around £14/£15 per month. IMHO it's cheaper to plug your phone in and use the data from that.

When I had a Touareg there was a trick to reset your automatic gearbox - it doesn't cost anything so might be worth trying. Basically you put your foot flat on the accelarator, ignition (not engine) on and hold pedal down for 15 - 20 seconds. Then foof off and start it up. If your battery has been flat it might have caused various errors - this might help reset the ECU/ECM - as an aside, if it's th original battery, then even if you fully charge it, it may already be a goner especially with all of the cold weather.

Yours is a C8 4K. If you have the My Audi App you can find out your configutration and extras there

You can change it yourself - you can google to find out how to - I suspect your key fob has the "key" hidden inside, in which case you pinch the tabs at the silver end to pull the key element out and then pinch the black lugs to pull out the battery holder - CR2032 should be the battery type (buy a pack for future emergencies and keep it in your glove box)

If you want to get the boot open then there should be access from the rear side (in the boot) of the door GoogleaIs "audi a3 emergency boot release" for lots of indications and the release method. If you want to fix it then it's probably a solenoid so again Google something like "audi a3 boot latch fault" that should give you several videos on how to strip the door and investigate the problem.

My 2018 Q5 has a jack included - you'd need it in order to lift the tyre to squirt in the gunge. Good tip from Gareth on the locking wheel nut - it isn't very obvious in the boot - it should be at the back just past where the jack should be! 🙂

My Q5 S Tronic DSG just hit 40K miles and there is an ATF change recommended + filter - the garage could only get 3.5l in even though it recommends 4l- no other work required. It's expensive stuff - @ £25+ per litre

Have you looked on your V5? Otherwise, checking a website such as https://www.rapidcarcheck.co.uk/free-car-specs-by-entering-registration/ or https://cartaxcheck.co.uk/ will be the same database that the insurance companies use. Failing that if you look here - https://www.autoevolution.com/audi/a3/ - this gives you an idea on the engines available 2.0 TDI is 170hp and there is nothing standard showing as 130hp
