1998 Audi A3 T Sport review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water leak from climate control unit which affected the CPU. This took almost 6 months to rectify. The problem turned out to be a small bolt in the climate control unit which was dropped whilst the car was being manufactured. The bolt blocked a pipe and caused the leak which in turn caused the problem with the CPU. Once Audi UK finally solved the problem, they sent me a cheque for £600-00 and a letter of apology for the inconvenience! Appart from this, I have enjoyed a year of trouble free motoring.
General comments?
An excellent all round vehicle. It is now however superseded by the S3.
