  1. As far as I no Dash cam fitting won’t affect warranty aslong as the installer doesn’t splice into the car loom which there’s no need for them to do that anyway. as for dash cam brands, it all comes down to personal choice imo, I’d personally do for one that’s as discreet as possible that would fit nicely behind the rear view mirror. Also I personally wouldn’t go to Halfords for anything as there installers are far from qualified to be working on vehicles, I’d look for a decent tracker installer type company or local car audio installer they normally do dash cam supply and fitting
  2. Mine did that at first but after logging in a week or so later on a different device I then got the other options.
  3. Mine hasn’t got phone box, I took the “a3” and “tfsi e” badges of the back of mine and yer it does surprise a lot of people when your having a bit of a spirited drive. It has no trouble keeping up with and actually passing on occasion a couple of my friends cars… mk6 golf gti fk2 civic type r golf r32 b7 rs4 to name a few
  4. Just took a couple of pics so you can possibly get a better idea on looks. It needs a clean but should help you.
  5. The B&O in my opinion sounds great, it didn’t at first but now it’s had time to bed in Its sounds really well. I previously had a 2017 Audi s4 with B&O and I say the a3 sounds much better than that.
  6. You can get a few different displays up on the MMI screen. The virtual cockpit has trip computer, you can choose between power meter or Rev counter, you can have your satnav screen on there, phone Info, radio etc Also has a driver assist option for adaptiv cruise and lane assist etc but to be honest I turn the lane assist off every time I get in the car
  7. Leather feels great, seats are ultra comfy, I’ve not used the heated seats yet so can’t comment on them. Mine just has keyless start, I have to lock and unlock it with the key. It wasn’t an option on mine to have keyless opening either. The grip and power without electric motor in dynamic mode is surprising. The little 1.4 performs more like a 2.0 in my opinion. Also I’d just like to add that the fuel tank is small and if your putting your foot down a lot it soon eats through it. Mine is only good on fuel (around 43-46mpg) when in efficiency mode.
  8. Love mine.. I have C&S, flat bottom, high beam assist, black roof fails and extended ambient light pack. It can struggle to get the power down at times but overall it’s been great so far. It’s surprisingly quick when using dynamic mode with some charge in the battery at the same time.
  9. I did everything in the above guide but I had to put the British embassy in berlin as my address as couldn’t enter a UK one. I used safari on iPhone to do it and used the translate to English function built in to safari.
  10. After speaking to my local dealer which were of no use at all, I decided to email Audi digital services and after providing my vin number I got the following reply: And It has worked! I’ve now got adaptive cruise and traffic sign recognition
  11. How do you change your location? Also are you using the app or webpage? I’ve tried changing my address to Germany but it didn’t do anything
  12. Finally after nearly 7 months I will be taking delivery of my brand new 22 reg A3 tfsi E 45 S-line completion Does anyone have a similar model? Wondering what real world mpg is going to be? Here’s the virtual pics from when I configured it but I’ll post proper ones when it’s here
  13. First thing I’d be looking at is the fuel system… injectors, pump etc common signs of failing injector/s can be poor starting when cold and getting better once up to temp, white smoke from exhaust, misfiring, juddering and generally running lumpy Impossible to give a proper diagnosis without being there myself but from what you’ve mentioned that’s where I would definitely start
  14. Hi.. I have a 2007 TDi 170 Quattro with bmn engine code. I have an issue if anyone has any input…. The steering at motorway speeds feels quite loose/floaty, like there’s abit of free play, I’ve heard these can have steering rack issues, is this a sign? I was considering replacing the inner and outer tie rods but didn’t want to just start replacing things if the issue is with the rack itself ive just had 2 new tyres fitted and didn’t make a difference I’ve got a couple of clunks/nocks from the front suspension area too ive bought new drop links and ball joints but haven’t got round to fitting them yet Another problem I’ve got is the coolant warning light comes on when cold and then goes off after driving 10 mins or so but I’ve not lost any coolant, I’m assuming this is more than likely an issue with the sensor in the expansion tank? Also the aux belt tensioner is jumping about constantly and is pretty noisy, I was going to fit a new tensioner but I’ve read that the alternator pulleys can be the issue. Anyone had any experience with this? cheers
  15. Hi all… just thought I’d register to a forum, I’ve owned lots of Audis over the years but currently have an 8p sportback Quattro s-line 170 that I recently bought as a daily/project and I’ve also got a brand new a3 tfsi-e sline competition on order which should arrive anytime im based in Manchester, hopefully I’ll get some ideas and tips on what to do with my 8p cheers
