Let me tell you! I have owned a Premium Plus A3 for 3 years now. There's a few things i don't like. I'll start with the plastic water pump. Transmission sounds cheap as you can sometimes hear it moving from one gear to the next. Sometimes shifts are late at higher RPM(Even in Manual Mode). On the positive side. In 3 years i have accumulated 40k on the odometer and i have only had to replace brakes, spark plugs and tires. So far, it's been a good buy for me.

Really informative, had to give you that 100th like :)

Good stuff! didn't know about the wiper service mode I just open the hood you can get them from the inside. With the foglight button I have the pre-facelift 2016 prestige and it's there so maybe it's on a package? I hate the washers I turned mine off with OBDEleven so I don't spray crap on my clean car when i use the wipers. The auto folding mirrors on lock is a nice option as well not sure if that's on by default.

Amazing video Diego. Would have never known about that headlight washer until watching this. Best feature video for these cars on KZread hands down

Xenon headlights require washers as without them dirt will scatter the beams. It's necessity not so much convenience. Legal requirement here in the UK, so you can't just swap out lamp units/bulbs.

Good stuff 🤘 you should change your rear and front Reading lights to osram led 5000k, so much modern look.

One thing probably no one knows is that if you quickly press the AUTO button on the left temp control dial, it will place your A/C into Eco mode. Press it again to de-activate. You’re welcome.

Thanks for the tips, my 2017 A3 Premium Plus S Line has all these features except I can’t get the headlight washers to activate. Wonder if it’s only on the S3?

Good god, I owned an S3 for 3 years and now I have one of the new RS3s and I had no idea those little squares in the front were for headlight washers. I can't tell you how much I wish the new RS3 had that gear shifter instead of the knobby finger thing they put in the new ones.

Correction: Certain pre-facelift models ARE equipped with both front and rear fog lights. Mine is.

With the windows going down whilst holding the unlock button. It also works when locking the car. Just hold the lock button and they go back up.

Don't you have to tap then hold traction to fully turn off traction/esc. Or is that different than the rs3?

It’ll activate both ways. If you tap it’ll just turn off traction and allow you to activate it. But you can still hold for about 10 seconds and it’ll then disable everything fully

Sooo that pre sense is the front sensor on your front bumper. Sometimes when it rains hard or snows etc it’ll trip it because it’s blocking the sensor.. even happened to me once when a person crossing the street with a dog passed a bit too close. I’m sure it can be turned off but not sure how to do it with obd11. It can be unplugged BUT then it will show a warning

Visibility for street parking. *Unlocking the car when dark the main beam will automatically go on if 'lights when unlocking is on' and switch set to auto. *When dark the main beam will turn on when 'lights when getting out is on' switch set to auto, ignition is turned off and the door is opened. Stay on after locking the car. Automatically turn off after half a minute.

The front fog light thingy is actually an apex light, they switch on automatically if you take long corners to give you extra visibility throughout the corner 😅

Anyone know why my A3 8v facelift MMI random loses audio quality like listening to mp3 songs that are 320kps sound like they are 160kps? And randomly after months for a week or so ir regains de quality then loses it again with the same music files? No matter if it is SD, USB, Bluetooth or CD. The few times the sound became good were when I changed for a new smartphone (after connecting a new phone became good instantly), when I changed the oil (after came the workshop the sound was awesome), and when my father took my car for a trip and listened to rádio all the time the sound become good again but only lasted for 1 or 2 weeks all those times... Tried to repeat all those things and nothing changed
