Hello did n kumpel who claims his a3 1.8 t with 180 hp runs top 250 !! I laughed at him ersma, because I have already driven a mercedes c 230 compressor with 193 hp, there was at exactly 230 (also exactly the factory specification) end! And since the highest speed has nothing to do with the weight of the vehicle, but only with the power and the air resistance, I can not imagine that. however, I have already heard in the inet from other people that the now it could be that the a3 is really long translated and actually drives 250 or so, that would be physically conceivable even if he would surely not pull any more sausage from the plate in the upper range but why should audio do that I ask myself??? a a4 2.8 with 193 hp has also factory specification 230, and not even a Porsche boxster (first generation) with 204 hp creates 250 !! so what’s going on??? can you audi freaks explain this to me? thank you

Hello! I’ve always been so ripped back and forth in terms of chrome mirrors.The chrome caps look too cheap and the RS6 and S4 mirrors sid too expensive (1000Euro new). Anyway, I’ve never seen the brushed aluminums on the A3.So the matte Rs6 and S4 mirrors I mean… Who has a photo of the A3 (8P) with the matte chrome mirrors (preferably a black A3!But I’m also satisfied with other colors! MFG thank you

Hi guys, I’ve noticed in the last few days, since I didn’t have a radio/CD on, that on worse roads (headstone pavements and fluffed streets) it clatters somewhere in the interior, but I couldn’t exactly locate it, it sounds like it’s coming from the front passenger side, but the glove compartment is empty to exclude it. Could you tell me where the main flaps are in the 8P, where I could look? Thanks already for your Antwor Mr. Timo, I’m glad you’re here.

Pipes at the new Audi A 3 Hello Audi driver(s), I’ve fallen the proud owner for about 5 months now. Point one: Since about 5,000 km I hear an ever louder whistle noise in the interior at speeds between 1500 and 2500 rpm (I think comes from the passenger side) After I was in the workshop and the car master looked at the car and the whistle also heard the statement: “It’s quite normal. After a certain mileage The turbo is driven in and gives off the excess power at the speeds between 1500 and 3000. This creates the whistle”. STOP AUTO!!!!! Maybe that’s how it is. I drive now my 3’th TDI Audi and none of the predecessors had this problem. It is annoying and besides, I demand a new Audi A3 2.0 TDI (Ambition) at a purchase price of approx. 33,000. Since I am on the road a lot on business I am so close to 30,000 on the speedometer. The car makes me a lot fun. There are, however, a few comments from me which do not give me a negative on Euro “NORMAL PFEIFEN” if the old models went without it. Point two: The high cheered full rubber windscreen wipers are not really helpful in the winder. The windscreen wipers become hard and scratch over the whole windshield. A change does not really bring a success. Point three: It’s not so wild but it bothers. The lighting in the trunk. If you already offer a light package as an extra then look but please that shines more than a “Fire – Flame” in the trunk. I would be happy about an answer from you but also from AUDI (just to the whistle problem). Greetings and good driving

Finally I brought it over to the heart: I just ordered my A3 2.0 TDI ambition from J & K. now it says: wait. but will slide into the MJ05 for all cases, because my piece of jewellery will probably never be produced in life before KW22 (at least that was the statement from the audi-zentrum mahag in münchen).

Hello, can someone tell me what about the actual consumption of 3.2. And does the DSG actually consume less than that with 6-speed ? And in general, how is the DSG, is it pleasant to drive and makes it fun ? I would drive on average 70 km urban per week. Thank you

Hi !!! Now my A3 is no longer perfect…. Bi ngestern in dern Waschstrasse (Lanzenwachen)… all of a sudden comes instead of water foam although I was already at the last stage naja ..quick to the tanker and excited he gave me 2 euro and said : go nevertheless into another box ….said done..steep a ride back value again out of the box and peng….fully drove against a small concrete flower box….I almost got the tears….But the best is, see how it st eht…..but my mother didn’t mean a chance they’ll never pay you….look at that (don’t look so big but the matures are 235 R19 so the craziers are riced and a piece of plastic is also off!!

hello people, don’t twist your eyes now … I know this topic has been speculated many times and there are various threads to it. I’m interested in an a3 tdi with an official (so no chip tuning) more than 140ps – e.g. 160-170ps (best still in connection with the quattro drive!)! the background: I just don’t want to understand why Audi is doing so hard with a higher motorized diesel (they don’t even give officially z u that such a person will come! – but through this forum there is at least hope that one will come in 2005 (but when only – beginning-middle-end????). maybe it’s because of the lack of demand!? I can’t imagine, however, that I am the only one who has the extra order back, because I’m not satisfied with the audio offer (I know I’m lost (I’ve driven 3 years s3 GEILES AUTO ;o)) and prefers a tdi-quattro (which is finally in the near future) with more than 140ps, but chip-tuning for me does not come into question (wg. exclusion i.d. company car regulation!). to the joy is already the (diesel) pressure from the competition (1er bmw, opel-astra) and I imagine that the at audio would possibly move faster, if only ingenuity people show interest in more diesel-ps. I’m curious … greeting, tom.

Hello, I also ordered an A3 2.0 TDI ambition about 5 weeks ago. Unfortunately you have to get there until the car is finally there, even think about the winter tires. With the summer tires there are no problems with the look of the aluminium rims, yes. I ordered the rims in a 5-spoke star design. For the winter bikes Audi offers somehow nothing really great about aluminiums. I find the Tecnic or ZW3 Tecnic from RH quite good. However, these are only available in the G push 8Jx17H2 The Audi rims have a size of 7.5Jx17 Can I take the rims despite the other size and what does the abbreviation 8J or 7.5J mean at all? The tyre size is given for both rims at least equally. Thanks for your answers! ciao Chris

Hello, guys! I’m new here and I’m asking for urgent advice. I’ve had a brand new A3 2.0 since October 2003. FSI. My first Audi and actually my “dream car”, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa u 1 l per 1000 km consume. Acquaintances who have been driving Audi for a long time shake their heads and say: the consumption is madness…. With my previous cars (BMW 316 i compact, Mercedes A 160) I almost never have to refill oil. What are your experiences? Is this really normal?!?! Thank you for every answer.
