    Might Buy an A3 TDI 2011 with 80k Miles...

    I have a 2011 A3 TDI, 160000 kms on it with the eTronic shifters but I never use them (160000 kms = 100000 miles). My HP fuel pump went in 2019, the DPF failed recently as well plus a DPF sensor but all was covered under the Dieselgate extended warranty. If anything these cars seem to have...

    A3 Which Battery -- Audi honor VW battery warranty?

    I bought a new battery (2nd for the car) and floormats with the $500 "sorry money" from an Audi dealer back when Dieselgate broke pre-fix. When that battery started to go I went back to Audi and bought another one (my 3rd) and they offered me like $30 back once I brought the 2nd one back...

    For all the clowns saying that there wouldn't be a fix

    Not yet. I got the "Emissions Modification" official recall letter a while back. Mine is a 2011, 7 years old next summer. In Ontario (Canada) after 7 years all cars have to go for a mandatory emissions test so that's my deadline. In the recall Audi says the modification will: -increase engine...

    For all the clowns saying that there wouldn't be a fix

    I still have mine. I will go for the fix and the $5000 if the fix is as good as it sounds. Only 2 mpg loss after the fix? https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/first-gen-vw-tdi-owners-are-officially-eligible-for-a-fix/

    What is your replacement car/truck?

    That is nice PeteZ06. Did anybody consider a new A3 e-tron? Did the sticker price keep everybody away?

    Executive decision...

    Pirelli Cinturato P7 all season Plus, 110K km/70K mile warranty. 225/45R17. $720 Canadian @ Costco after install & balancing & tax & recycle & all that. Google says that's about $545 US. I bought this car last summer and the ContiProContact (stock?) tires on it were bald.

    2010 A3 TDI headlight problems

    Smoothhd the exact same thing happened to me in December. The lights would work but I would get the errors that you described. I would restart the car and it would go away. Eventually my passenger-side headlight would not light up, I would get the error every time so I brought it to my mechanic...

    Audi Canada TDI Owner Credit...A Joke!!

    The VW Canada owners get a $500 Visa plus $500 in dealer credit right? Audi owners should get the same, just like in the US. I live in Ottawa, when I get my letter I will post what I'm offered.
