Here is the text from the file that shows the errors. Will the dealer have any issue with me plugging in VCDS?

Hi All I have had the car for just under 2 weeks now and connected VCDS to it to enable the needle sweep. I got the needle sweep working ok. I did a scan before I started to make sure everything was ok and get a baseline reading. It picked up an error with the ABS and another on the 09 central elect (I think) but I am not sure what the issues are. The car is going in to the dealer tomorrow for a paint check for the white marks in the lacquer on the passenger side kick plate, a free "health check" and a wash and vac. I will mention the errors and see if they can check them out. Any ideas what they could be?? Cheers Dave

Had a wee look at towbars. Arnold Clark guy told me they were around £150 and he would pay half and knock it off the price of the car. Looks like they are more like £600. Another lie and rip off from Arnold Clark's. What is a reasonable towbar to fit? Looking for something removable when not in use.

Looks like someone has jacked it up on the sill and disturbed the sealant. May cause a rust issue. Get a good look to see if it needs re-coated.

The Audi check is free. They will do a paint check covering the kick plate and a health check. Initially they said to take it to where I bought it first. I then called Audi customer services and they put me back through to my local dealer. When I explained everything again they wanted it in to check it. It was the sales guy at Arnold clark that said it had been serviced and Audi keep the records electronically now. I checked when I was in getting the (alleged £40) mudflaps ordered and they had no record of it. It's got just over 9000 miles on it. I will probably just get Audi to do an oil and filter change at 10,000. I normally do it myself every 5000 after the warranty is out. I will just get the towbar sorted out myself. It's hard to find a garage you can trust. I do some stuff myself, brakes, oil changes etc. I will fit the mudflaps myself. Wouldn't trust Arnold Clark's to do it. The car is great although a bit under powered. We have a Skoda VRS too and it's quite nippy. It's lowered too and sticks like it's on rails. I am hoping the A3 is good on fuel. My old 1.7 cdti van wasn't great (46 - 48mpg). We get high 40's / 50's with the VRS. Next is the chrome grille getting painted black and possibly the front badge painted. The body shop guy suggested anthracite for the badge like the bit under the rear bumper. Cheers Dave

Went to Audi dealer today. You can now get a full set of mudflaps for the S line. Got them ordered. Audi suggested taking car back to where I bought it regarding the kick plates. I did that (Arnold Clark) and they were less than useless/interested. Only had the car a week and they have my money so totally passed the buck. They also told me it had been serviced and Audi had a record of it, utter rubbish. They also told me they would supply and fit mudflaps, you could only get the rear set and they were £40 so they would knock the price off the car and I could order them up and they would fit them. Another lie, full set available and £56 per axle. They were supposed to pay half the cost of a towbar too. Don't think I will get anywhere with that now. Bunch of crooks I think. Anyway, called Audi customer service and it's booked in next week to be checked out. Arnold Clark's can work it. Will never purchase from them again.

Cheers guys.

Hi All I have had my car (66 plate A3 quattro 150 diesel) a few days now and have a few issues / questions. Can anyone shed any light? 1) The passenger side metal kick plate has some white marks on it like there is an issue with the laquer. Will this be covered under warranty? 2) I want to fit a full set of mudflaps on it. The dealer I got it from said they only fit on the back on that model. Is this correct? 3) I want to get a set of 16" winter wheels and tyres for it. What is the offset etc for the wheels? 4) What is the service interval on this car? Cheers Dave

Here we go. Picked it up today. I am going to put mudflaps on it but the dealer said they only go on the back. Is this the case or can I get them on all round? Cheers Dave

Yes, I have an Astravan Sportive at the moment and it's great to drive but it's getting a bit old now and over 100,000 miles on it so it was time for something newer. I had a look at the Skoda VRS Mk3 which was really nice and had plenty power but just didn't feel right with the DSG gearbox. The A3 was lovely to drive although down on power from the Skoda but ample at the moment. Just need to get a towbar and some mudflaps fitted and I am good to go. Hopefully get it next Friday.

Hi Guys I have just got myself a 2016 A3 A Line Quattro 2.0 diesel 150 which I hope to collect next week. Also have a Skoda VRS but this is my first Audi. Looking forward to getting some information from the forum to get the best out of the car. Cheers Dave
