    What to look out for - test driving a dsg

    2.0 TFSI spark plug and cambelt change intervals

    The manual for the A3 states 115,000 miles for the TFSI, but then on the Audi website they recommend 5 years or 75,000 miles for all 2.0 petrol and diesel engines :confused:

    tire pressure monitoring system problems

    The system works by comparing the rotational speeds of the wheels with each other whilst the car is driving in a straight line - if you have a flat, the circumference of one wheel will alter and so they will spin at different speeds. The tyres wear reasonably equally (or at least should), so...

    The Dunlops on steel wheels I bought in October have gone up 67%! I just wish I'd bought slightly earlier myself - a month earlier they were even cheaper!

    Kwik-fit have good prices on their website for Conti Winter Contact TS830's in 16's, but I guess that's no use on a Cupra?
