You might need to provide a bit more info... Have a look here https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/updating-maps-in-a6-satnav-2007.166918/ You can identify your unit and then work out what options you have to update which is covered here https://www.audiownersclub.com/forums/topic/13835-update-guide-mmi-2g-and-3g-download-links/ For this sort of stuff, once you know what you need then Google is your friend!

Probably not relevant to your S3, but the headlights on my 2017 A3 can be adjusted for driving on the right via MMI. The dipped beam doesn't convert totally to LHD mode, but just flattens the left edge of the beam, but I've always found it adequate. http://www.instruccionesaudi.com/A3/en_GB/onboard/o_m00200.htm Apologies if you've already been through this, and found it doesn't apply to your car!

If there's one lesson I've learnt here, is read the long form description in the manual immediately when these errors pop up. When they say "continue driving, contact workshop" the manual is much much more clear about what they mean: e.g. you don't have to stop the car immediately - your brakes will still work - but you should continue driving immediately to a garage to have it fixed. e.g. You're depleting your ABS module by driving for weeks on it! I guess this is a downside of the modern cars having text messages on the screen - they've got room to describe something but not fully - so people can misinterpret what it's saying. Back in the day where you just got an icon, you'd be forced to pull over and check the manual. I know I am probably in the minority where I immediately stop and investigate any errors fully in the manual as soon as they appear.

Hi. I had a phone call with the assistant to the director. I questioned her about the problem and she said that every complaint / error brought to the dealerships attention is relayed back to head office and if they deem that there is an underlying issue, only then do they issue a recall. I raised concerns that there is a significant number of people having the same fault and she said all that we can do it lodge a complaint with the motor ombudsman who can then look into it. I have the same issue as yourself Foxy but they have not offered any help towards the costs. The cost differs from franchise to franchise so the assistant urged me to phone around for a cheaper quote. I was quoted 2275 + 240 labour (Nottingham) . I think if we all can lodge similar complaints to the ombudsman it will hold more weight than just a few of us and maybe those that have been lucky to change their sensor in time could get their abs also checked/changed without a £3k bill.

Hello Stacey, Cutting to the chase, you could be ( most likely to be) doing yourself a disservice. Brake disc wear, and scoring is not at all uncommon following changes in the brake pad materials many years ago, which has resulted in discs wearing much quicker than they did. Couple this where MOT inspectors can mark this scoring on ‘Advisories’ and you arrive at your situation, although there is very little wrong at this stage. It’s from here that things can go in the wrong direction ‘.........I’ve asked .........they replace the replace the discs and pads..’. What you are likely to end up with is a set of discs and pads which are the current ‘best deal’ at the local motor factors who supply parts to your garage. They are highly unlikely to/will not match the braking efficiency of genuine Audi pads, so you will be worse off. The analogy would be ‘....give me a new pair of trainers...’ , and you end up not getting the designer brand you wanted. My advice - for what it is worth - yes, have the car re-MOT’d, but do not allow them to replace the discs and pads. Kind regards, Gareth.
