This a very common fault within the VAG group it seems. A fix is on the way hopefully by the end of the year according to some users on another BB. As for the drive select not working - turns out that is also another software issue that has had a fix out (only my vehicle must have missed the software update). The dealership is going to rectify some other faults soon so I will see how that gets on. Otherwise I do enjoy the car with its smooth ride and great economy (58mpg today on a 13 mile trip). Mine is an ex-demo btw. Cheers, Dan

Think I might be having the same problem you have, the SOS warning came on together with a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in. Switched off car for an hour and it went, I guess something to ignore. Wonder if Audi can uninstall all this useless, unnecessary tech stuff ? A dacia sandero might be a better option as will come with very little tech (but possibly a cd player lol). Cheers, Dan

Not sure if anyone has had this but my drive select button does nothing. There are supposed to be 5 settings (4 set and one individual) as standard according to Audi website. Nothing comes up on either of the display screens in the car. Any thoughts appreciated ? Cheers, Dan

Alternatively, look inside the front cover of the owners manual. It will have the 'warranty entitlement record' and all the details of the vehicle there. Cheers, Dan

Yes, it was an ex-demo (not entirely advertised correctly as the mileage was 20% higher than that quoted - naughty). Have tried pressing the drive select button several times now but with no luck. Sat nav is standard so possibly a subscription issue as you say. Cheers, Dan

Sorry to hear of your dreadful experience and hope you can get your money back. I am having a few teething troubles too. The driver select button does nothing and there is no sat nav in the car I just bought. Hopefully these are just software/set-up issues. Did not realise the car does not have cd player in, apparently music can be downloaded and put on a stick thing lol. Good luck and I hope you get a full refund. Cheers, Dan.

Not sure if you sorted the problem (was a long time ago - I have only just joined forum) but there looks to be two issues there. There are fine, almost circular swirl marks that could be rectified with a fine MOP. The blotches to me seem like normal water spots. Water spot removers are available (e.g. from cleanyourcar.co.uk) or you could use deionsed water from a filter (e.g. raceglaze.co.uk). Not sure what wash regime you may use but certainly dry the car after rinsing and try to clean the car in the shade. Cheers, Dan

Just to add my car has done 6000 miles, so well run in. Car is running on 17" pirelli cinturato P7 tyres. Just now after a short 12 mile drive I have achieved 59mpg (deliberately driving as economical as I could). Cheers, Dan

Hello, I have driven my car recently (35TFSI 150bhp s-tronic) and got over 46mpg on a short 13 mile trip. The delivery driver got over 50mpg from an 80 mile or so trip. As for the drive select button - I have no idea what it does as there is nothing on the car telling me about the different modes it may have (for reference I have the Sport model). Cheers, Dan

Hello, new to this site and have just taken delivery of an Audi A3 saloon 35TFSI sport with the 7sp s-tronic gear box. It is the 8Y model. Cheers Dan.
