llello Chaney. It does not look particularly high to me. It may appear that way if the wheels have been changed.

Not knowing what a DSG gearbox was I had to look it up, and I am still not sure. It is an Stronic and has gear change paddles at the steering wheel which, according to www.carwow.co.uk/guides/glossary/DSG-gearbox-explained, suggest that is DSG and therefore does not have a torque converter. However the Haynes manual tells me it has a VAG type 09G box which does have a torque converter. Are you implying a clutch fault or something else?

My recently acquired A3 SE TDI auto sometimes suffers erratic tick over when Drive is engaged causing jerky take off. The Audi dealer could find no errors showing on the diagnostic tester, and even suggested it was inherent in the model. Anybody else had the same problem? Could it be a faulty torque converter, even though gear changes are imperceptible? Is there an anti-stall control or idle valve that might be faulty?

After a couple of false starts the sat nav is now permanently wired to a key switched circuit. Thanks for the tip James about piggy back fuse taps. An added benefit to the job is having less than a foot of wire on show above the dash, so it looks far tidier.

I haven't seen those until now. I must investigate further.

Thanks James. I guess I shall have to poke around in the wiring to find a supply that is switched with the key.

I use the cigarette lighter outlet for a satnav in my A3 Sportback and was surprised to find the outlet is live even when the ignition is off, leading to the possibility of draining the battery if I am not careful. Is this normal?
