I have the 1.4 tfsi stronic and no such issues. There is an alternative thread on another forum which is perhaps similar ? https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/s-tronic-issue.379869/#post-3328106

yes and it is!

I guess so (hopefully) - there is no obvious coolant, oil or other loss and the smell of the steam/smoke is clear in appearance and not smelly/dirty so probably condensation I would hope. Assuming it is a trait, I guess it is something I will have to monitor but it is quite noticeable compared to many other cars about!

Hi - I know you posted this a while back, but I also have the same model and since new in sep2016 it has also done the same - it is a bit disconcerting but I have seen other very new TFSI's also doing the same thing so it seems for whatever reason that this engine/exhaust design seems more prone to do this. I had mine checked at the dealers but they were not concerned that there was any issue and there is no obvious excessive oil or coolant loss. Did you ever sort yours or does it still do it? moderator - just noticed that both of these posts should be in 8v forum - can you move please?

with an sline, it should be xenons

I agree with Magnet

this is one of many threads on alternative forums http://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/audi-a3-sd-sat-nav.190641/

I have sent you a pm

Yes, I got it in September and love it. Use the ACC all the time (although it is not fool proof) - only slight issue I have is that on mine, it chucks a lot out of the white exhaust stuff on tickover and under hard acceleration - I have had it checked out at the dealers though and have seen others doing it as well - just seems that TFSI engines are prone to doing this for some reason. In terms of value for money I guess you get more spec on a Golf, but I always wanted an Audi! In fact, my wife has just ordered an A1 1.4TFSI 125 Sport Sportback so we will have two fairly soon! One thing that is slightly disappointing though is that the standard sound system is not great. I also did not spec reversing sensors either (such a cheek they do not come as standard though) but if you are interested in either of these, I would spec the comfort and sound pack (£995) - its the one thing I regret not getting. Still waiting to calculate accurate mpg, but as most of my journeys are short/urban I never get great economy

I have not bought a sim as I am still using the e/embedded sim - as far as I know the e/embedded sim is built in/installed somewhere else in the car - the spare sim slot in the glovebox (which I presume you are now using) is if you choose to use an aftermarket/alternative sim

if you have a new A3 and you had the free 3 month trial - you should have an embedded/e sim that you can continue to use with audi connect

In case you are not aware, you should be able to get Audi Customer Services to renew this free of charge for 1 year - they have done this for me and many others. I have pm'ed you the email address needed

not sure if below helps? - I am sure audi's own website/brochure says there is an update approx. every 6 months so not sure why they are saying otherwise https://my.audi.com/content/dam/myaudi/brochures/audi-connect-guide-en.pdf

sorry but I don't have an Audi yet as still waiting, but just saw above info - sure someone else with greater knowledge will advise - there is another alternative Audi forum (not sure I am supposed to say that so will not name it unless someone says I can!) that seems to get far most posts/posters so you could try that ?
