So tomorrow I do the ultimate long-distance test. Once Spain and back. One track is about 2300 KM which I will drive at a distance Friday and Sunday back. Let’s see what the chassis and my back says about the permanent load ? In France only 130 KMH are announced that should be the right hopper speed *lol*. Just have to raise the summer tires because there is warmer down there and hope that there is no snow. I will tell you then how so ==References==

Hello! I’m here for the first time, the page is really great. Drive the Audi A3 2.0 TDI Bj. Jun.03 Wanted to ask if someone noticed a noise (drying) in the area of the dashboard when accelerating so about 1800-2400 rpm, is really annoying and not worthy of an Audi’s (commentary of the workshop). Was up to now 2 times in the workshop, I was told that the cause was a poorly mounted seal in the area of the blower. The noise was only once after the workshop visit. to listen briefly, meanwhile the sound appears again regularly.

So I wrote in another post already that I ordered on 7.10 the nine A3 2.0 TDI ambition. So now this morning I called and only meanwhile into the production and it is now painted. I believe there are 7 production stages….. How far is it now at the moment `?? Or better which stages there are everything ? Thank you !!! Greetings

Moin, I’m about to order the A3 3.2 with DSG. I’m still a bit unsure on the radio. Is the Bose option really worth it (are ~500€ difference anyway)? What exactly does the Bose sound system bring? Thanks & Greetings, Tagaloa

hi erstma, so I soon wanted to buy an a3 tdi…but I still don’t know exactly with which engine. there is only the 1,9 with 90, 110 and 131 hp (with the “old” a3), right? so it’s also important to me that I can get some power out of the engine later on, what would be the best thing about my chip, right? because the motors have all the same ccm I ask myself now what is the difference with these motors? -is it just the controller? -the turbo olader? -or what else? can I get the same power from each of the 3 motors with the same chip? or which of the 3 motors is to be recommended if there are differences? thank you for your tips, niklas

has negotiated today with the audi dealer get 8% cash discount. is there more to get out? who has the 2.0 FSI from you? since you are satisfied with the 2.0 ? how much he consumes so with normal driving on land road? was with the 1.6 times trial driving too lame to me. knows someone jutten and kooolen is a eu dealer selling German model with self-collection in ingolstadt so no reimport for 2000€ less than list. think time is about eu cars since audi die margen k I don’t think it’s a German model. so I’d be happy if you could tell me about my questions. greetings

hello order me next week the new a3 2.0 tdi. but with the colors I am not quite conclusive. akoyasilber I find good but the color is made so bad here. inside I want alcantara/leather in light gray. what does it mean that fits to the outside color. black inside everyone has and I am not sure if this can be tolerated inside and outside light. please your opinion??? thank you

hello together, I’m going to go crazy. somehow the ladies and sires of audio don’t know what they want. for the nokia 6100 some time ago the 8D0 051 435 AL adapter was available (also on the audio HP), but it’s not available anymore. today it’s not on the HP anymore. my friend inquired about the result that the VOTEX company has not yet been released from audio. now I asked at audio and the nice gentleman told me that the adapter for the 6100 already available. are available, but not from VOTEX. halllooo???? the number is 340308 (of course no audio number). more he could not say (incapable??). my friend understands now – exactly like me – the world no more. knows here more than the rest of the world??? ps: oh yes: and for the siemens S55 the adapters would not be available again. the new parts should be the 8P0051435AQ (available from KW29). –> which adapters do you have for the S55?? at the moment it looks like when I get my new baby on the next Monday but this year probably has no chance to make a phone call with the FSE

Hello! I still have the old A3, built in 2000 and now 60000 km on it. I have the feeling that with every kilometer I drive something new is broken. Especially in winter there seems to be many problems. Last year my radio spun, because the volume was not allowed to regulate itself in cold. This year the chassis starts to pollen at cold temperatures very unpleasantly and cause loud noises. Then yesterday part of my instrument lighting has the gei I had to change the air mass meter even after 50000 km for over 300 euro. Then there is still the wedge belt, which at every start uncomfortably grinds, as well as squeaky noises at every left-back, supposed to come from the brake pads and is normal.. that the left window can not be completely driven down actually bothers me not so much.. the best is however, that audio stubbornly turns and does not take any cent kulanz for all the mist! so ü Think about whether it should be an a3! I’m curious what else is coming!

Since I read here more often that the people do not seem taken seriously by the workshops, I would like to present here my thoughts on the topic of workshops. Everyone should remember that he does not appear as a petitioner (but as a customer, who has the claim to a fault-free product). Even if one does not know with cars so well, then one can nevertheless demonstrate self-consciousness. If a workshop tries to weigh down, then let the connections explain to you. Some people then very quickly in need of argument. All so-called explanations, which do not lead to the solution of the problem, fundamentally question. In any case, formulate defects in writing and, if necessary, have them countersigned (so that it is documented that you really mean it and have something in your hands later on). Furthermore, I am not married to my dealer, i.e. I can always go somewhere else if I am not satisfied with a service. And if someone comes to me stupid several times, then I ask the boss and tell him that I don’t feel taken seriously by his employees and think about changing the workshop. Because an entrepreneur gets a problem very quickly, if the customers run away. Because with the new cars is hardly to do business. For a car dealer the workshop is important! In the circle of acquaintances can surely also be found someone, who has a more technical idea. In this case, it is possible to take it with you as support. Last not least, there are also experts. They cost money, but the reference to an expert should also be good. And even if I really have to consult an expert, then it is still better than if I constantly get angry with a gross lack. And if the error is then corrected due to the expert report, I would charge the costs of the expert report of the workshop. h before the workshop has stated in writing that there is no shortage.
