A3 1.8L Tfsi

  • Automatic transmission
  • 74,565 miles

Had this Audi A3 since 2014, has been a great car apart from a few issues;

Quality - On delivery from the dealer, the car has always had a few quality issues such as the dealer sticker on the back windscreen being crooked, the trip reset button below the speedometer has never been properly fixed to the steering collum.

Issues - the auto start-stop function which turns off the car at the lights have never worked properly, it always stutters or sometimes stalls the car and needs to be turned off every time you switch the car on as it is very distracting.

Major Issue - The most major issue is that a piece corresponding to the transmission system just broke, you wouldn't expect this to happen to a car of this price and nature. The car wouldn't go anywhere when in either Drive or Reverse so needed to be towed out of multi-level to a dealership. Audi wouldn't pay for the repair so this cost us $4000 AUD.
