Category: Audi A3 Forum

Hello, after reading a lot about cheap car intermediaries here, I wanted to ask if someone had already had difficulties with the company APL. I would like to buy an A3 Sportback Ambition TDI in February 2008 and have put together my desired vehicle via the configurator on the Audi side. Come with everything I like so much to just under 37,000 €. Now I have heard by chance from the company APL, where I could get the car around 500€ cheaper . Maybe someone from the Berlin area has a tip, whether I can get a strong discount at an Audi dealer in Berlin or Brandenburg? How much can you beat out at all? With the sum you always have some concern to buy via an intermediary. But APL does not want a down payment or any other payment, does it? Since I would want to pick up my vehicle at the factory, I don’t need to worry about a re-import, I guess. Is it worth it because of a facelift to wait for the car purchase? The revised models will certainly also be more expensive. And so much will certainly not change, I guess. I can also do without LED rear lights. When do I see them?? Or do they also make the front section? Oh yes, someone knows if the stationary heating offered by Audi also preheats the cooling water? Especially with a diesel and a short distance to work this would certainly not be unfavorable. Otherwise, the diesel is yes from the verb even if it costs more in maintenance. I buy a new car for the first time. So far I have only bought annual or used cars. Therefore, please excuse the many questions. Greetings

Servus had seen at Ebay (in the meantime already by) that there is a steering stick lever with GRA offered. Click How does this work if I want to upgrade the GRA? Simply change the steering stick lever and let the function unlock for the friendly one?! What does the steering stick lever actually cost if I buy it at the friendly one? Greeting

I have an audio a3 2.0 tdi bj 2003, I have the standard radio audio concert in it. I also have a navigation system. do you know if this is affected when I convert the radio? I stick it over a stick at the handbrake, and it is displayed in the onboard computer. my problem is that I don’t need imemr cd’s but can also connect a usb stick for example or that mp3s can be read on my new radio. can also be read with my new radio the steering wheel remote service use or do I have to buy a special one? or can I just somehow build a connection at the back that I can connect a usb stick? me the constant cd burning is simply too annoying… with the look of the radio I am satisfied, my only problem is as I said, that it can not read mp3’s… would be happy to answer even if I am female ^^ lg, birteee

Hello, just got me the Continental SportContact2. Size: 225/45 on 17 inches 91Y Before I had the Dunlop SP 9090 on it. I just read on the ADAC page the Contis are even better. Do you have experience with this tire? Thanks, esox000

Hi people I’m hard now to overcome whether I should do my a3 8l 1.8 chip or rather install a sharp cam wave what does your opinion mean more??

hello am new here. bought me the audi A3 1.8 today and wanted to hear your opinion, whether 4.700€, with 120000km, is in order. the car had first had a mistake with the speed. it is when you gave gas and let go again, in empty run, always fell under 1000U/m and swung there. a few times he also went out. then I drove with the dealers to vw and he has adjusted the by computer again. the seller allegedly has something fa Ich made with the disconnection of the battery, so that it was wrongly configured, or something like that!^^ wanted to ask if that could be. have one last question, whether it is possible to install a turbo or a cost-effective ps increase in the car. how expensive and expensive it would be. hope I didn’t write too much.

Hello to each other, I have a tricky question to which I would need an answer as soon as possible! A friend of mine wants to buy an old Audi or Mercedes in the near future, but has his concerns about the circuit. Since he just made his driver’s license everything should work as easily as possible with the first car. Here’s the problem: In the driving school he learned, for example, that when switching from the 2nd to the 3rd gear only the lever has to be pushed out of the 2nd gear, this then automatically jumps into the idling position between 3rd and 4th gear and you now only have to push it straight into the 3rd gear. So if this self-centering did not exist, would be very easy for an untrained driver to switch, especially when switching from 2nd to 3rd gear. The questions are now: 1) Is there this self-centering of the circuit for all new cars? 2) Since when does this self-centering exist and how was it otherwise with previous cars? Thanks already in advance Lt_Paris

Moin boys and girls, today my little one was at the 90th inspection. I brought oil and filter again, everything was good. I was always very satisfied with the AH so far. When leaving, however, I notice that the car in the height of the door handle has now about 2cm behind the handle a dent. No paint damage but only a dent. I washed the car a few days ago, the dent was not there yet. Besides, I am quite sure (estimated) 99%), that the dent was not in it when it was given away. The dent is already noticeable, especially because one looks at the area of the handle. If it were in another place, I could not be so sure. Statements of the workshop staff about the incident: Is not at the “outer” place of the door, therefore it could not have happened by “somewhere against”. Bullis or similar are not repaired in the Audi car dealership, therefore it could not have been another customer. The car in the workshop is all sharp-edged and blue, so these clear traces would leave behind. I should come back tomorrow, maybe the employee who took the car noticed the integrity of the door at the time and can now confirm that the dent is “new”. Ha ha. I’m pretty angry about it and don’t know how to react appropriately. Unfortunately, I had already paid the bill in full before… Tips? Suggestions ? Does anyone happen to know what the risk is in this case? Should the dealer make a take-off at handover, as with a rental car e.g.? da_baitsnatcha
