Hello all,

I have just noticed my car radio reduces in volume down to zero. Does this quite quickly without my touching it. Whether am playing CD or have the radio on.... Read more

Volume controls can be a little troublesome on these.So could be a radio fault.Also is the car fitted with column stalk controls,and if so,could one of the paddles be sticking?

A friend bought a new A3 earlier this year and without the number plate you could think it's 3 or 5 years old.

The wife's A3 has recently developed what I can best describe as 'twichy' steering. It only happens in a straight line on dual carriageways/motorways at speeds of 50mph+ where the steering wheel seems to grab (feels slightly notchy) almost like there is play in the steering, but at slower speeds all seems fine, no play at all and you can't replicate it, no matter how hard you rock the steering wheel, no discernable knocks or noise.

just wondering running about town getting low figures but on a run of a round trip of over 100miles getting around 40 mpg and this is motorway driving,is this about right for this model.

Agreed. I can't recall ever getting 40 mpg out of our 1.8 petrol C-Max even on a run. I'm guessing sticking to 60 - 65 mph on a motorway it would be possible, but at 70 - 75 mph it will be around 35 or 36 mpg.

Cam belt broke, is this a safe engine, what's the liklihood of more damage and cost of repair Read more

Peter.N.

Certainly not completely safe but it may have only broken the rockers rather than the valves, my early 8 valve Hdi certainly has that arrangement but don't know about the 16 valve engines.

Timing chains need a supply of good quality oil to keep running without wear.

So leaving 17,000 miles between services will mean it wears out prematurely....
