  • Plant collection in Ingolstadt

    Moin Moin, have a wiping question. I ordered an A3 two weeks ago. Should be finished at the end of May. First I wanted to pick it up at my dealer, but then I decided to pick it up directly in IN. I have only the following problem at the moment. According to Audi, I had a transfer fee of 450 € at the time of conclusion of the contract. Anybody knows what it all includes. The problem is that my friend told me that 300 € are due for self-collection again. Vers I don’t. When I pick up the car, they actually save a large part of the transfer fees (truck transport) etc. It can’t be somehow, can it? Maybe someone of you can help me. Thanks in advance.

  • Short distances harmful to 8P TDI?

    Hello, I’ve finally had my A3 SB 2.0 TDI since Monday! I’ve been driving about 800 km now and I’m really thrilled, no hopping at the ambition chassis (tested on A48 through the Eifel) and otherwise the quality is 1A. Now my question: I only have to climb a mountain to the office for about 800 m over the week, on the weekend I always drive between 300 – 600 km to my 2nd residence only highway. Do these short breaks damage my TDI during the week, since it never comes to temperature?

  • Opening the tailgate ?

    Hello, today when I was riding a bike with my son, someone who opened the tailgate of his BMW 3 Series Compact by far and the tailgate went up to the very top. Shouldn’t this be the case with the A3 8p? Mine is only locked up by ferbedinung but I have to lift the tailgate myself

  • Powerbox and warranty ?

    Hello guys. If you make your 2.0 TDI 140hp float with a Powerbox on 177hp e.g. KW system and then carry off a possible engine damage, how does it look with the existing Audi guarantee from ? Powerbox out (it goes quite easily) and the original condition is restored. so so to speak not recognizable as tuned.

  • Queer acceleration

    How do you read queer acceleration at 8P? I know that it can be done with CAN card in laptop and software. What I want is again via radio code or FIS. If that is not possible, with small diplay. Gruss Rich

  • A Question of Color

    In the November issue of “automobile test” there are 27 pages of purchase advice for the A3 (for those who still could not decide ).A part also informs about the colors and their sales shares: light silver 23.4% lavagrey 15.4% ebony black 13% akoyasilber 11.4% brilliant black 9.6% mauritiusblue 9.2% moroblue 6.1% delfingrey 5.5% brilliant red 1.9% crystal blue 1.3% tucan yellow 1.1% piemontred 0.9% reed green 0.7% arctiswhite 0.5% The picture of a tucan yellow says: “Enjoy the photo: I m Road traffic is the cheerful “Tukangelb” rare to see” Well, then I will make my contribution that more color comes to the road. Calming to see that 3 colors are even less in demand like tukangelb. Manfred

  • Seats in the A3 – sports or normal seats

    Hello together, can someone give me information about the seat depth in the A3? I am standing before buying an A3 “attraction” and still have to make a decision: are the normal seats the first choice even for drivers with longer legs … or should I rather order sports seats – do they actually have a longer footrest? Unfortunately, I only saw models with normal seats at the two dealers visited, whose depth would be acceptable to me as a compromise. should I pay the extra fee for leather or leather/alcantara, although I also like the fabric variants very much. Keyword Alcantara: Does any forum participant definitely advise from the leather-alcantara combination in black? Jörg (still Golf II)

  • The first bump…

    AAAAAARRRRGH!!!!!! Some A… face didn’t really make it in, or out of parking and caught on my passenger side the threshold of the wheel box! Of course he NOT registered… 2 weeks I have my A3 now… At the front place “only” 5 qm paint has burst away, so I can still live… I also got the rim again… BUT at the back place is a dent (breaks so beautifully in the sun * 8( * ) and deeper scratches Does anyone have any idea how expensive this can be? Still, it’s worth it to repair this, the car has just 1,300 km down… On Tuesday I have to go to the workshop anyway, the gas pressure springs and driving noise in the doors… Thank you for your answers!

  • Audi A3 2.0 TFSI at 24h-Nürburgring

    Audi A3 2.0 T-FSI DSG at 24h-Nürburgring Have you just seen engine vision? They want to ride the 24 hours on the Nürburgring this weekend with an Audi A3 2.0 TFIS close to series production.
