That would figure as it's after 2007 when they started applying the feature. Hmm I'm not sure then, as your a3 is registered as a 2007 model it could be either. As in, the model with the feature or without. What comes on the dash when you start it? And what does the handbook say? Cheers Steve

Don't worry Paul, I'm in the same boat!! Which I am ashamed to say! But to be fair I do, do 2-2.5k miles a month. It's the gritter lorry that I hate!

The 2017 World rallycross championship has finished with team EKS driver, Mattias Ekstrom finishing 3rd in the championship at the wheel of his Audi S1. It has been a challenging season for the team and narrowly missed out on getting second in the championship by one point! The championship number 1 spot had been claimed by Volkswagen by the 10th round.

Welcome to the forum Lisa, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch. Do you know which window washer is causing the leak (front or rear)? As the pump is working and the tank can hold water, my guess is that one if the pipes has come loose. Usually I have found it's the pipe for the rear washer jet that has popped off from a connector or the pipe has split. To test my theory, have a look to see which washer jet empties the tank faster. Or alternatively have a look/feel in the boot for water in the spare wheel well area, damp carpets/interior trim or for any sign of staining to the headlining etc. If it's the front washer jet that's at fault, then again I would suspect the pipe(s) have failed. Open the bonnet and look for any signs of a wet engine. The pipe will run on the edge of the bonnet and will be obscured by the sound deading on the underside of the bonnet. I hope I've made sense, and please keep us posted on how you get on :) Cheers Steve

Hi Alan, I think.your a3 is perfectly fine. I believe this clutch pedal depressed to start was brought in 2007 so it would all depend when yours was built, not registered. If you see what i mean. I think the only exception to the rule is the s3 which had the clutch depress to start feature in 2006 if not sooner. Cheers Steve

Not a problem Jon. Glad I could help :)

Welcome to the forum Morgan, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) Cheers Steve

Hi Jon, there are 2 types of service. Minor and major. Minor service will include oil filter and oil change and the major service will include: Oil and oil filter change, air filter change, pollen filter change. I'm.sure there is something I've forgotten!? If it were me I'd have the service done early at the time the oil change is due. In terms of price, it's worth asking your local Audi dealer(s) what offers they have on by ringing around ;) there's always a discount they can do I'm sure! When I worked at a volkswagen service department the minor service was £169 if memory serves me correctly. I can't remember what price the major service was, sorry. Abit random but a cambelt and water pump was around £499 with Volkswagen (I think). Hope I've helped :) Cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum Richard, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) Cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum Chris, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) Feel free to post a pic of your a4. I do prefer the older Audi's to be honest :) Cheers Steve

Nice one Rob! :)

Good info there Paul :)

You're welcome :) I hope Rob can make it because then you'll have 3 :) You'll have good fun, I always enjoy rolling road sessions. I've not had a chance to get the a6 on one yet, but my a6 is still off the road due to a failed brake vacuum pump which is on back order from Audi. Should be mid Jan before the part arrives. Cheers Steve

I'm unsure why it's not shown up previously, in wonder if it's because.its intermittent. The intermittent faults are the worst to cure! You're welcome, glad I could.help :) Cheers Steve

You're welcome :)

Sorry to hear this Piotr, I hope it's nothing serious! Sorry more people haven't taken you up on this event Graham. I appreciate your efforts at arranging the event :) Cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum Serhat, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) When do you get your a4? Cheers Steve

You're welcome :) Glad we could help :) Cheers Steve

Hi James, welcome to the forum :) You'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) My first advice would be to get a diagnostic check carried out to see what, if any fault codes come up. However my guess would be that you need a new thermostat. Cheers Steve

Fingers crossed it's just a service that's required :) whilst it's in at Audi they will do a free vehicle health check and if you ask them, they should be able to tell you what work the a6 has had done at any Audi dealer. Keep us posted on how you get on :) Cheers Steve

Best thing is get a diagnostic check done to establish which part it is. This will cost around £60. If it's the drivers door locking mechanism then I think you'll be looking around £120. I say this, as I paid that much to get a similar issue with my central locking fixed which was due to the drivers door lock going faulty. This job.was done by an auto electrician. I'm unsure how much it would cost to replace the central locking module though, sorry. Cheers Steve

That's fantastic news!! :)

It sounds like the trader is being fair. Let's hope the issue can be resolved quickly :)

No worries :) I've heard they're a good club but do t know much about them. Deffo! We've got other meets near you. The next one is at Beaulieu in April. Cheers Steve

It'll be interesting to see what fault codes come up. As you have only had the car one day, it might be worth contact in the seller. I'm assuming you bought it from a dealership? Cheers Steve
