Hello Guss & Gandas Im Prince from Staffordshire and I just bought me a used A3 2.0 tdi yesterday and I have to admit that the mileage was quiet high at 160000 but the thing drove me home like a charm. I didnt really mind the mileage as my mechanic told me because these tdi diesels are built like tanks including the fact that the service history was so accurate. Im pleased of the purchase but its only early days so im not gonna rush my excitement and chill. what I did today was to buy a full service and few other bits to get the service done even though the computer telling me its not due for another 1400 miles. I will get it done this weekend if not earlier. I use to have a Nissan 350z monster of a car that was but in had a bang with an idiot and had to share responsibilities. anyway I am impressed with the fact that I put a full tank but barely moved from full bar after nearly 120miles i drove from to home. Im hoping I can benefit from this car. and by the way the lil thing is freaking quick and respond so fast to the press of a pedal. All in all I wanted you guys to tell me anything I need to keep this baby going. hopefully you will be my guide in this journey.

Yes, I'm purchasing a brand new A3 Sportsback in the next month or so - fingers crossed. My first Audi and a brand new car in nearly 25 years! Can't wait. Have test driven one and so am looking forward to getting behind its wheel & take it for a good spin. Shame it takes so long to get here. Not sure what to expect but I'm hoping it will bring pleasure as I have always loved to drive.

Hi Everyone, I am looking for a Audi A3 5DR Deisel 2007 or 2009 for less than 7K. Is this possible? I have found few cars on few sites. what i realised was that compared to other models most Audi A3's have been insurance categorised as C or D. Is there a specific reason for this? Are the parts expensive? or Expensive to repair? Any advice would be helpful as I dont want to get it written off for a slight dent in the corner after buying an A3.

I've recently been having an issue when starting my car. It turns over fine but then drops from 1000 revs to cutting out. It can take more than half a dozen attempts to get the car running and white smoke comes out when it does. The engine won't rev either when you press the accelerator. The car has 109000 miles on but has been fully serviced and has also had egr/dpf mod and remap in the last year. Any suggestions?

Hi. I have a 2005 A3 2.0 TDI and having some strange issues with the clock and date and computer 2. 1. When trying to set the clock it will allow me to set the hours but when I try to set the minutes it won't allow it and then just resets the whole time to a random number. 2. When the engine is switched off overnight the clock usually resets to 00:00 but sometimes rests to a random number. 3. even when the clock does show a random number it does not count up each minute just sticks on the random time until the car is left off overnight when it will reset itself again. 4. Computer 2 does not seem to be holding the average mpg and just matches computer 1 as if it again is resetting itself overnight. Any similar experiences? I've checked the fuses. Starts fine. Any suggestions? Thanks

I just wanted to say hi to everyone here :) . I’ve just upgraded my “commute car” which was this: With it’s 1.34l engine and mahooosive 99bhp, I felt like an old man pottering to and from work. The biggest problem with it, though, was the torsion beam rear axle which provide the single most uninspired drive I have ever had the pleasure of falling asleep to (and I should know, being an anaesthetist). So in the search for a slightly more ...erm... spirited drive combined with wanting AWD for when it snows or rains, I went looking for a suitable upgrade. As my sister owns A4's and I am impressed with them, I was looking at S3's, Quattro's, Golf R's and similar, all of which are quick but not too fast coupled with solid build quality and a premium feel. So in the end I settled on this: It's a Audi 2.0 TFSI Quattro Black Edition. Additions over my old Jazz are full leather interior, satnav, (opening) sunroof, Xenons, 4WD. On the downside, it's DSG so I'm not sure how i'll cope without a good ol' manual gearshift, but the flappy paddles might be a good middle ground. It also has the Bose speaker upgrade in which apparently (correct me if I'm wrong) only the sub is a bit crap (so I will take the active Alpine 8" DVC out of the Jazz and put it into this one). Apart from that, I don't think the spec requires any additions from me. Being Used Approved means I get the 1 year Warranty and they’ll fix all the minor niggles prior to me collecting it (hopefully next weekend) which include: Bonnet slightly misaligned (no previous accidents but it needs to be adjusted by them as the panel gap on the drivers side is twice as big as the passenger side) Both rear tyres bald - they'll be replaced BIG paint chip passenger lower sill to be made good drivers fog grill enclosure loose/broken - will be replaced rear window scratched where is looks like the rear wiper was used without a blade being in it - doh! The scratch is where the metal mount point on the wiper arm is. If they can't polish it out they said they'll replace the rear window. apparently an ipod cable is included (I couldn't find it in the cabin) They'll give me 1 years tax disc as well :) I think I also get Audi insurance for 7 days for free (gives to time to arrange Direct Line to switch my policy from my old Jazz). Any downsides to this? (hopefully there won't be any hidden charges). Also be prepared to answer other weird and wonderful questions in the upcoming months as I get used to owning my first ( ;)) Audi.....

1.6 TDi, I have just purchased an A3 1.6 TDi Sportback, 1 year old 10k miles. I have found the fuel consumption to be much higher than expected ~ 50 mpg driving like a granny. What kind of consumption should I really expect? Can anything be done?

A3 Quattro 2.0T......Gearbox Thud at crawling speeds??
jonny127 posted a topic in Audi A3 (8P) Forum
Hi guys! I have a 54 plate A3 Quattro 2.0T and I've had it for a few months now. At crawling speeds it makes a clearly audible thud when moving off, and feels the same as when your handbrake might stick (Its not the brakes as i've checked those .This wasnt much of a problem until it began to get worse (more knocking noises). I suspect that its a loose driveshaft connection and is just taking up the torque. A month or so after i bought it it developed a misfire so took it back to the dealer who fixed it under warranty. the procedure for removing the head somehow involved removing most of the 4WD system and gearbox etc and a week after i got it back it developed the above noise, and so naturally i suspec that that may have been the cause. My question to you lot is whether any of you have experienced such a noise, and what did you do to fix it? Many thanks! -

Hi there, I've just bought a new Audi A3 and love it very much. It's way way better then my old punto and polo. It's great to see there is such an amazing Audi community on this site that I can proudly be part of. I've got a question which I was wondering you guys could help me with. My AC only turns on when it's on full power (Level 4). However it does work properly on level 4 and the air is nice and cold. It doesn't blow out any air on levels 1,2 and 3 on normal roads. On the motorway, the other levels suddenly and magically decide to blow out cold air appropriately. Where could the issue be? Many thanks in advance

Hi everyone, Can anyone advise me? I'm looking at buying a used "Limited Edition" A3. It's a relatively new company dealing in second hand cars, the A3 I'm interested in is Orange (not a standard colour) The company says it's a limited edition colour, but I ran the number plate through the DVLA and it says the car is BLACK. The company say that on the limited edition colours Audi say they are all black. Has anyone heard of this? Here is the advert, any help would be appreciated. Thanks! http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201302175377503/sort/default/usedcars/colour/orange/model/a3/make/audi/onesearchad/used/onesearchad/nearlynew/onesearchad/new/page/1/radius/100/postcode/cm74ay?logcode=p
