Hello, I am a new member from Dublin. While I have driven Audi rentals in the past, I have put a deposit down on a 2020 Audi A3 Sportback, which I believe is a Japanese import. I've been going through the forums and hoping not to ask same old questions that may have been answered in the past. Thanks, A

Hello, I have put down the money towards one of these cars, but mostly based on my previously rented A3 Sportbacks. Any links to reviews or videos, as much as I searched I have not found videos related to this model? Though it was listed as a 2020, it does not look like the ones that show up in car reviews when you search for a 2020. Any thing I may need to be aware of? Not the latest model, but one that looks like this (but in white):

Hi everyone just looking for some input currently have a 2005 sportback 8pa in the garage having a new amc cylinder head put on because of porous audi one. I am planning on bringing this audi a3 back to its former glory being the non sline model I am wondering if I can update the front bumper to a 2008 one. I have attached an image of the one I want to put on any input would be great. 👍😀

I jet wash the car to find out later on my front right dip head light, right fog light, right rear indicator, front right indicator and the left rear side light isn't working. Any ideas what the story is here?

Afternoon all, I am currently looking to purchase some wheel spacers for my Audi A3 Sportback 2020, Blackedition, but I am unsure on the track width size of spacer to purchase with this being the first time buying these. Wondering if anyone has any advice on brands, potential track width (to look aggressive and in line with the body work) or any extra info that might help or need to be aware of? Pictures of those fitted are welcome. Thanks.

Hi everyone, I recently bought an a3 8p 2.0tfsi quattro 56 plate. I serviced it and put new discs and pads on. When it came to putting on the front right the discs wouldn’t fit. The guy asked me to check breakers for a carrier and a wheel hub. I bought both but it didn’t fix the job. My front brakes should have 312mm discs. The left does but the right has 282mm discs. Any help? I can’t figure out why the standard 312mm discs don’t fit. Is it the wheel hub, carrier or something else? Any help will be very much appreciated. for reference my front brakes should be: 312mm by 25mm

Hi folks I am looking for genuine 19” alloys for my 2016 A5 Sportback black edition plus. dealer quote is nearly £1000 per wheel😫 Any ideas?

Hi new to this page, I've tried searching round but can't find any page with the same problem. I have a 2008 Audi A3 8P, When I put the window up on the driver side it will go all the way up and then stop because the glass has reached the top but the switch continues to make a clicking noise until i press the button for it to go down lightly. Has anyone fixed this issue before and what was the solution? I'm not sure how the regulator works

Hi, I need some advice on purchasing an Audi from a pre-approved used Audi dealership. I have fallen for an Audi A3 Black edition sportback TDI 2012, however it lacks a few features that I wanted. I have been searching for about a month for a black edition that ticks all the boxes, the pre-approved one has come near. Features I want: Cruise Control Audi navigation plus with an extended lighting cable. The Audi sales rep said that the specification I wanted is quite rare, as black editions are rare in themselves. He said I could go to an Audi service centre and they may retrofit the features. After contacting Audi and being referred to my local Audi service manager, I have yet to hear back from them in over 2 weeks. I am aware Audi will charge me substantially more, but it gives me peace of mind. Has anyone had features retrofitted via an Audi service centre? Should I just keep searching?

HI all, I'm selling my A3 (Reason for sale is wife's ill health and no longer needing 2 cars), if you are interested, or have any questions, please message me. I am based in Guildford, Surrey. just under 79000 Miles Water pump and Cam belt last changed @56k Full service History 11 months MOT (pads and discs just done due to being an advisory on Latest MOT) £4995 ono

Hello and good evening to everyone. New member here with a first post looking for some buying advice - very much in the first world problem realm... I'm looking at picking up a 2013 a5 sportback 3 litre diesel quattro, and have narrowed it down to a few as follows: 1. independent dealer, more basic radio etc. (2g ami in front of the gear stick on vertical console rather than the handier horizontal console controls); 2. audi dealer, same spec, +£1k or so 3. independent dealer, what looks like 3g mmi setup but +20k miles. (+£1300 on #1) 4. audi dealer, higher spec - 3g mmi etc, but more basic alloys (rather than the black edition rotors), same mileage as 1 & 2, +£1800 on #1. Which one would you go for? Thanks in advance.

Hey guys, It's time for a new car! I had an S3 a couple of years back but unfortunately due to a change in circumstance it had to go... But I've landed myself a new job and I'm looking forward to getting back behind the wheel of an Audi again I've decided on the A3 sportback 2.0 TDI 150 Black Edition, with the Tech pack and the Comfort pack. I just can't decide on colour! Brilliant Black or is the Mythos worth the extra £550? Any thoughts or recommendations about my choices are welcomed Any other black editions on the forum? I'd love to see your cars! Vince

Looking into removing the back wiper and using a blanking grommet but unsure on what size is needed 🤔 can anybody help :) thanks

Taking the opportunity to upgrade my 2007 A3 Sportback rear bumper after some idiot drove into it! Looking for the following >> Type: A3 Facelift 09-12 Rear Sportback Bumper Colour: Black (in good used condition which won't require any work or a respray) Diffuser: Twin exhaust S-line mesh style (like the attached picture) The bumpers come up regularly on Ebay but the diffuser is the hard bit to get hold of! If anyone has the diffuser to sell separately I'd also be interested (I've read that the 3dr, 5dr & cabriolet diffusers are the same fitment so will fit a Sportback bumper)

Hi Guys, I placed my order for the facelift Audi S3 Sportsback over the weekend and mega excited to say the least. I have taken a long time making my decision but I am confident I made the right choice, other contenders were the M135i and Golf R and CLA45 (however this was always a bit more that I wanted to spend) I test drove the current model S3 over the weekend and I cannot wait to get my hands on mine which should be around the middle of November, especially as the performance, sound and cockpit will all be enhanced. Keen to speak with all S3 owners to get tips and experiences. As extras I have gone with the 7 Speed DCT, Virtual cockpit and Navarra blue colour (Keen to see what this looks like in the flesh as I don't think the configurator images does it justice). Look forward to hearing from you. Frazer :)

Hi everyone, This is my first post as a new Audi A3 owner so I apologies if this has been posted in the past. I have recently bought an Audi A3 5 Door Sportback (2006) and I have a query regarding tyre pressure. My tyres do not need any adjustment at the moment, but just for my future reference, does anybody know the recommended tyre pressure for 18" 245/40? There is nothing on the inside door stating what they should be. I have a graph on the inside fuel cap but it only gives the recommended pressure for 17" as apposed to my 18" tyres? Also some of the tyres do say XL, i'm not sure if this makes a difference? Is anybody able to help with this? Thank you! 😊

Hi Guys & Gals, Looking forward to hearing from other owners that love their FOUR RINGER as much as me! ❤️👍🏻 Picked up my A3 on the first March 16 plate and loving being back behind a great drivers car. I've had a A4 Sline Avant before but went down the 4x4 route in 2010 with another manufacturer, the again in 2013 with yet another different manufacturer! Wasn't going to make the same mistake for a third time... 😖😂😖 Now two weeks in and I'm thinking of changing the alloys to 19" instead of the 18" standard S-line supplied. I'm unsure what I could put on. Obviously I'd like to stick to original Audi OEM rims! I've seen a set of Le Mans that have been fully returned and looking like brand new. They are 8.5J, 43ET! Could anyone assist me with answering will they fit and what size tyres should/could I use? Thanks in advance for any help offered! Ps. If anyone's got some pics of their car with upgraded alloys on I'd love to see them! Cheers guys/gals.... Delighted to be back in the AUDI family.. ❤️😍👍🏻 Steve M...

Hi I have just bought an 2012 Audi A5 Sportback S line 3.0 TDI 204 PS multitronic and love it. It didn't come with a manual and I wondering how to get a hold of one in the UK. Anyone any ideas? Thank you

I've recently been having an issue when starting my car. It turns over fine but then drops from 1000 revs to cutting out. It can take more than half a dozen attempts to get the car running and white smoke comes out when it does. The engine won't rev either when you press the accelerator. The car has 109000 miles on but has been fully serviced and has also had egr/dpf mod and remap in the last year. Any suggestions?
