Mol - they do indeed. And they fitted out-of-production (I didn't know at the time) Conti Sport Contact 2s instead of 3s... Never ever again.

Michelin Energy savers £750 for a set from most main places, including Kwik Fit. £380 when ordered online - fitted and all.

The key with FDSH is to get the basic service work done by Audi, which means the book gets stamped and then take it to your trusted local garage for all the general works like brakes etc

That method means you have to be very blunt when explaining what the main dealer can and can't do. I did this once 'just oil and filter' and they didn't stamp the book.....so I kicked off and they replied 'the stamp refers to a service carried out to a full and specific manufacturers guidelines'...
So I said 'the car is out of your warranty period...whats your beef? (they stamped it).

Ok, so back from the test drive. I must say, it was a lovely drive, very refined cruiser but ready to rock when asked. Those extra P's were quite a bit of fun. Looking like an average of 40mpg...according the car computer anyway.
Laid my cards on the table and haggled a grand off the asking price in the end which has made the whole package a lot more manageable.
Going to sleep on it now and see how I feel in the morning.

Bit late to the party on this one, but we had a 57-plate A4 Avant 2.0TDI 170 for a period. Can't comment on longevity, but the engine was a bit all-or-nothing and the transition from 'nothing' to 'all' never seemed to be in the right place. Not the end of the world, but the 140PS version was a better all round balance.
For the A3 avoid the 1.6 petrol at all costs. 1.4T is perfectly usable, but tempts you to work it hard - fuel consumption ends up very similar to a larger (petrol) engined version.

DD you should get more than 40mpg easily.

Well, I've gone for it in the end. (with more research and drives). Did a bit more haggling and got another £650 off the asking price. It's now more or less between Private and Main Dealer book price with a years comprehensive warranty and two years servicing (realistically, it'll need one service, two at a push as it'll be serviced before we pick it up), all stone chips repaired and 4 new tyres. So I'm pleased given how shite I am at haggling normally.
