2002 Audi A3 review from UK and Ireland
"Bought an Audi for its reliability so disappointed to have so many problems with it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Speedometer intermittently faulty, kept flicking around all over the place when driving. took 6 weeks to identify cause. eventually told build up of wax residue!
Lot of wear and tear: tyres, brake discs/pads, axle bushes- all expensive.
Cable to starter motor and cable for reverse light both snapped 1 week after its most recent service.
General comments?
Expensive servicing.
Drives well. fast off the mark.
Driving position designed for someone with long arms and short legs- the opposite to me.
