    V12 tdi????

    The Q7 I saw at Ingolstadt was 200k euros, so you are low on that assumption. I saw two being delivered that day also, so I guess some people can justify it...

    dumb question--engine block heater

    Did you get heated seats? I garage mine and really haven't bothered buying the cable. A Frostheater would be a better option, than the block heater for instant heat. Also, our cars have a supplemental electric heater, so it doesn't take too long to get the heat going. FWIW, only the first...

    A3 TDI - First Impressions

    I also have problems keeping my Droid X paired, frustrating but my wife doesn't like me talking to her with the BT so it doesn't bother me. I wish the heated seats had a light to show they were on and turned off with the car. Audi thought too long on these, GM has a nicer setup IMO... Also...

    My A3 TDI European Delivery Story

    I didn't realize but could have gotten a 335D for about the same money that I paid for the A3 with all of the crazy discounts that they were offering back when I had to order it. We saved 3% of the price of the car, all other Audi's are 5%. Also, the car is official now, I finally got the...

    We stopped that night for dinner and drinks at Augustiner Keller. Friday 6/4: Wake up and head home. :' ( All in all the car was a blast to drive. The brakes leave something to be desired and unless you keep the revs up in the diesel...

    My A3 TDI European Delivery Story

    (That should have been the lake at the top of the San Bernadino Pass, but it was still frozen over.) Only the "front" side of the Stelvio Pass was open, the back side was still snowed over, as you can see in my picture, the...

    My A3 TDI European Delivery Story

    Misc. A3 content. For dinner that night, we went to Wally's Farm in Poperinge. This was probably the highlight of the trip. It is a family style dinner house, where Wally who is a Elvis enthusiast provides the entertainment. If you are in the area you HAVE to stop here...

    My A3 TDI European Delivery Story

    The Grand Place. Our walking tour of Belgium was courtesy of Cantillon Brewery that has it on their website. It took you by all the big sites in the city and then ended at the brewery. I would definitely recommend both. The brewery has a self guided walking tour, which...

    My A3 TDI European Delivery Story

    Tuesday 5/25: Delivery Day! Greeted at the Munich Central Station by Wagner, with an Audi sign. Driven to the Forum in a black A8L (I presume, for some reason probably 50% of the cars in Europe don't have badges identifying the model...). Delivery went pretty well, the majority of the...

    Block Heater Cord No Longer Included?

    Yep, my car is equipped with it. I might take this up with Audi in addition to other things they will hopefully be doing for me since my car took about a month longer than they claimed for re-delivery...

    Block Heater Cord No Longer Included?

    I picked up my car on Tuesday (it was ordered back in Feb. but was a European Delivery car) and I didn't receive the cord to plug the block heater in. I sent an e-mail to the dealership and they told me that it is no longer being included in with the car, is this true? When I ordered the car...
