Goodbye!

Don’t blame you one bit for ditching the mk8’s after all that palaver daviegsxr and if replacing with anything VAG then the A3/S3 isn’t a bad option. The latter is bountiful if buying new from Audi as there seems to be lots of stock unlike VW’s comedy wait times.

I’ve got a 2020 Clubby that was pretty trouble free until 1896 went in at its second service and has been bong free in the warmer summer weather so far. My lad has an April 2021 1.5 A3 S-Line and that has been pretty good too, occasional nav screen reboots which were sorted by Audi have been its only faults.

Good luck with the Audis 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Sorry to hear of your issues. Don't blaim you selling up i would have too. But if it was me I wouldn't have moved to Audi or any other VWgroup member.

I would’ve also got rid of it and would have steered clear of anything else from VAG at the moment.

I haven't heard too many negative comments on Shhkoda....

That headlight issue is a weird one for sure! I’ve not read about that anywhere else, and equally weird that it happened on both of your cars. 🤷🏼

The Engineers at my company used Octavia estates, zero complaints, which is unusual for Engineers when it comes to cars.

They seem to be producing some decent cars these days. I think the Kodiaq, esp in Sportline trim, is one of the best looking SUVs I've seen. I've not sat in one, but they look pretty plush inside too.

I was driven from Schiphol to east of Brussels last summer in a Skoda Enyak EV - very impressive. Guy that was driving it loved it.

Nowt wrong with my new S3, no bongs, no software issues,no buggy infotainment. Door cards a little less plush than MK7 Golf, but that's about it.

I have found Audi UK every bit as sh!te as VW UK ever was, with some discussion via an Indian call centre yesterday - 55 minutes on the phone, constantly put on hold, the last stint being 20 mins - I'm sure the rep was hoping I'd hang up.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

an engine cover for around 9 months!

Man I got mine in Germany in 2020 with 8000 km from dealership apart from the camera software ( i had the software update  at porch because apparently its there soft took them 3 days)  it runs fine, as for the engine cover went to the dealership they took it off, did not even tell me found out a few weeks later, apparently it was part of a "recall" i ask them ok what about another one?

They went something like "nope is gone."

I was like ok ... guess is looks cooler this way lol :undecided:
