  • Consumption Audi 1.8T 150 hp too high?

    Hello, I’ve only been driving short distances with my A3 1.8T 150 hp (bj. 10/2000 – Facelift) lately. At most three times a week over the week to the gym. I come with a tank filling tank now max. 450 km before the reserve “blinks”. Is that normal? Or can something be broken?

  • Defects, defects, defects never stop?

    Hi, my A3 is probably the most expensive squeaky junk box Audi has ever sold. Actually, I thought you were buying Audi quality. Well, think it’s just a matter of luck. Not only the usual flaws like idle-wheelers, engine cold engine sporadically out and wet neblers. No, since today I also have a strong and loud speed-dependent crackling directly from the front. Seems to come out of the instrument cluster. In addition, the crunching from area B-pillar and the bouncing hat rack e (where the fabric is already rubbing off) and finished is the premium product. Somehow I don’t have any more balls on this clapping 40,000€ expensive box. Shouldn’t a 100 percent solution arise within the next week I will think about a change. The topic Audi, alleged !!!!Premium manufacturer!!!!!, has then settled for me. So enough crying.

  • Summer tires???

    the weather with us in the south is getting better and better!Would you risk mounting the summer tires on it now?

  • Well, then (conversion)!

    Hello community, one or the other may still remember me and my Hoppelhasen. Sometime in the spring I had the muzzle just full to chew the hoppelthema again and again. Before I finally leave this forum, I would like to report here again how it went out for me (well, in principle it is already in the caption). I had put the cart on the yard of the dealer in March and wanted to leave it there too. This is the case with me, fortunately, as well. In April, however, a dear and nice forum participant pointed out to me that traffic law protection usually includes a car-related contract law protection. Unfortunately, this is also the case with me. The dealer then wrote to the lawyer in July. Then it still took time, because the service manager was only in Lrlaub and then the whole thing was forwarded to Audi. Friendlyly, the dealer then left his letter to Audi in copy, in which he already described the listed defects as serious on his own initiative. Ideal prerequisites thus. Audi rejected the change “naturally” (again) and so it came to the lawsuit. And look – Audi moves Yesterday evening I received the notification that the purchase will be processed back. For use I have to print 0.5% / 1000 km, which is more than the required 0.4%, but still much better than the often quoted 0.67%. Unfortunately I have already 25000 km on the clock and can now pay about EUR 3500. But that is still better than the car to sell. I haven’t got all this in writing yet, but that can’t wait for a long time, because the H ändler otherwise runs the risk of collecting a failure judgment in court. So that’s it. You should never say, but according to the current state of affairs, I will never buy an Audi with a certain probability. At least as long as Audi continues the policy of Mr. Dr. Winterkorn. Handi

  • Help! My clutch slips!!! (A3 8P)

    Hello I had a chip tuning done by Abt about half a year ago (1.9 TDI PD on 96KW). A few weeks ago my clutch started to slide. Abt takes over the warranty here, but my friend says that this problem might occur again and again, because the clutch is not designed for this power. He recommended that I go to Abt again and let the torque be taken back from them. Does that make sense? Can you determine if there is not an F Is there any experience of such problems here? Harry

  • ??Question about the body money at your A3 new car purchase??

    Hy, Here’s a slightly different question: did you also have a dull feeling about your dear money (almost 30,000 EUR for 8P) just before you ordered your A3? Or have almost 30,000 EUR for you no great importance since you have a money tap? The value of a compact vehicle is just l e i d e r no good money investment, but does a lot of driving fun= otherwise I wouldn’t buy something like this at all!!! An advantage has an expensive premium brand like Audi but for comfort, a lower value loss + best quality But if you think about having a small house or a condominium that costs 100,000 to 200,000 EUR > difficult, difficult > or how do you see it? Do you already have a paid house or don’t you think so far ahead?

  • Inverting mat for trunk

    Insanity !!!! Hello ! Have had my A3 for 2 weeks and wanted to buy me now for the trunk a turning mat. ( unfortunately I switched on too late when ordering…!) The turning mat would have cost as an extra approx. 60 EUR. When the friendly one called me the price, I almost dropped out of the latches. Satte 170 EUR want to have now for it !!! Well, says the friendly one, finally come now shipping costs on it… Apparently turning mats will run individually with the taxi to the dealer ♪ Greetings ♪

  • Decision made : your opinion ?

    Hello, I’ve made myself smart now and I think I get the A3 to a proper course, to my situation. At the moment : Golf IV 1.6liter 105 hp, lower, louder, wider, argh that full program just. With lots of bass and as you know it. I have enough of that now, so comes the following : Audi A3 Ambiente 2.0 TDI 103 kW 6-speed exterior color : Crystal blue metallic or light silver seats : Sport comfort seat leather equipment front in leather Vienna seat covers graphite black-black, Armat urentafel black-black, carpet black, sky silver Special equipment : S-Line suspension package with 18″ seat heating front Sports seats front in leather Vienna Xenon light Theft warning system Acoustic Parking System Exterior mirror, heatable, electrically folding S-Line roof edge spoiler Fog headlight Roof sky and mounting parts in black Confort climate automation Floor heating/ventilation Navigation system Plus incl. Bose sound system CD changer Multifunction steering wheel So and now my questions about it : About I’m going to listen to the Bose sound system. Now to the things that oppress me: sports seats leather Vienna front … what do I have in the back for leather ? heater, does someone have a ? I would be interested to see what it looks like with the battery. Multifunction steering wheel, can I not have a 3-spoke steering wheel with the ambience equipment ? Navi Plus, I need to watch DVD’s a TV-empf ang, don’t think? And the most important one at the end: Does the S-Line suspension also bouncing? Thank you, Alex

  • I’m switching to Golf V

    so I made my decision! since my old A3 has a total damage because a corsa has snuck me on over bab I climb around from audi a3 to golf V !!! the reasons for this are due to the price. the golf is almost 3000 euro cheaper with the same equipment. I decided for the 1.9 tdi in the sportsline equipment. I think that one can do nothing wrong with the golf V just as little as with A3 (have partly the same components), but the price difference is but already big! and then even the cheaper financing! so I really wanted to tell you!!!

  • 1 liter of oil at 2300km? 2.0 FSI….

    Hi together, I know that there was already a thread about the topic but never find it. I have now 4500 km with my 2.0 FSI and the first time I replenished with 2300 km 1 liter of oil because there was in the FIS oil shortage, it really missed oil checked. And yesterday I had to refill 1 liter of oil again and have now about 4500 km on it. That can not really be or? Let’s say that the liter costs 20 Euro it is also extremely annoying and from advance dur Is that normal? Or should I be a friend?
