Faithz Neutral Newbie March 13, 2017 Share March 13, 2017 Guys, anyone of you experiencing metallic screeching or scrapping sounds coming from the wheels when moving off from cold start (must always from cool enclosed environment after parking for 4hours or more) below 20km/h. Once you brake or accelerate at higher speeds the sound will go off. Can share with me if you have gotten this fixed at Audi? As I am always unable to replicate it for the technicians to see. Thanks all ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

K20VTEC 2nd Gear March 14, 2017 Share March 14, 2017 Yea in gear 1Does it occur more than once? Eg. After move off you come to a stop after you exit the lot and then when moving off again the metal screeching sound comes back? If so, sounds like a clutch problem. Can go to PA and have them replace under warranty Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can go to PA and have them replace under warranty I just checked with pa just now. They mentioned it might be brake issue. Fixed an appt with them. Hopefully it will be resolved... update you all once I get it fixed. my issue happens from cold start under sheltered carpark environment. Must park for 4hours or more then when moving off speed below 20km/h will have the metal screeching sound. After you increase speed or brakes it will go off. Does not comes back after brakes are warm up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yappyw 2nd Gear March 25, 2017 Share March 25, 2017 Price for their roadshow in Vivocity this weekend 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor68 Turbocharged March 25, 2017 Share March 25, 2017 Same package as other bros here: 3 years servicing 5 years unlimited mileage warranty Front and back in car camera (T5 brand) Car mats Tried very hard on the price but PA is quite firm on the price. Anyway SE informed that they will up the price from Monday onwards. Take it with a pinch of salt although my previous experience tells me that it's true as the other time they tell me after the promo period price will increase by 5k they really increase it... Was at Vivo last evening. The price displayed is $123k. I was told no GPS and Reverse camera. So your front/back is just in car camera. Need to test the 1.0 turbo to feel that torque if indeed it is able to power that body. It is impressive. Good buy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny86 4th Gear March 26, 2017 Share March 26, 2017 (edited) Electric seats come as standard? Not sure whether the display car at vivo is what they offer for 123k Quite nicely built...Rear legroom not as bad as imagined after setting up driving seat position. Centre hump can be a hassle to get in/out for 5th passenger Edited March 26, 2017 by Johnny86 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to test the 1.0 turbo to feel that torque if indeed it is able to power that body. It is impressive. Good buy Roadshow deal is usually quite attractive. Good time to commit if you really interested. I am no car sales person but I believe there is a cap internally by the company. So it's either you get this or that so long as the overall value of the freebies is within the budget so the sharing is just for a rough idea of what we can ask for but in no way a reason to bang table if you didn't get or for those who have bought to be green with envy. As we all know, deals always change depending on the flavour of the month. Enjoy! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Performance is good but definitely not fabulous as it is still at 1.0. Steering quite light and under-steer in some tight corner situation so probably u will need to set the steering to dynamic mode in the "Individual" drive select choice.

Arch1984 4th Gear March 27, 2017 Share March 27, 2017 Better profits... Audi didn't return the savings from the CEVS.. The old 1.4 and the new 1.0 has the same CEVS. Anyway the facelifted A3 dont have a 1.4 under CAT A. The new 1.4 is at 150bps. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
