The hill-start assist function helps you drive off on a hill. 

If you hold down the foot brake for a time when the vehicle is stationary, the brake pressure is retained for brief a moment after you release the brake pedal – relaxed starting on any hill or incline with no roll-back. As you change from the brake to the accelerator, the car remains stationary for long enough and – thanks to the system’s automatic braking intervention – you can easily pull away without rolling back. Hill-start assist is a particularly valuable feature in combination with a towing bracket.

The Audi S3 Cabriolet comes with a range of optional satellite navigation systems, which means that being lost becomes a thing of the past. Simply enter a destination using the Multi Media Interface in the centre console, or just say where you want to go, using the advanced voice recognition system.

The most advanced system, MMI navigation plus, features MMI Touch integrated into a rotary pushbutton – enabling users to simply ‘write’ their entry on a touchpad rather than selecting each letter as used in traditional systems.

A high resolution colour screen provides a clear map of your route and incorporates the latest traffic situation into your route helping make the Audi S3 Cabriolet satellite navigation system as user friendly and effective as possible.

The LED rear lights are innovative brake lights and tail lights featuring long-lasting LED light sources.

They indicate to other road users when the vehicle is braking, reversing or signalling to turn, and they are highly visible in fog thanks to their light intensity.

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have a whole series of technical advantages over conventional bulbs. The most important of these are their quick reaction times and long service life.

Seeing the brake lights of the car ahead sooner can reduce a driver’s stopping distance, by around 5.5 metres for instance when braking from a speed of 100 km/h (all other conditions being the same). The light-emitting diodes last an entire vehicle life, consume up to 50 percent less energy and take up less space.

New life-long MOT test offer applies to privately owned Audis of any age or model when the cam belt is replaced

  • Complimentary MOT tests (usual price of £49.99) for the life of any Audi model where the cam belt is replaced by an Audi Centre or Authorised Audi Repairer
  • Offer is fully transferable to subsequent owners for the life of the vehicle
  • All privately owned Audi models of any age are eligible
  • Cam belt replacement fixed at £449 for engines of up to 2.0-litres, and £599 for higher capacity units (excluding RS models)

As part of its far-reaching initiative to de-stress the ownership experience as fully as possible, Audi UK is eliminating MOT costs for Audi drivers who entrust a cam belt replacement to participating Audi Centres and Authorised Repairers across the country.

Many Audi Centres are now offering free MOT testing for the life of the vehicle for any Audi model which undergoes a cam belt replacement by Audi approved technicians, potentially saving customers hundreds of pounds by bypassing the usual £49.99 MOT test fee. The offer is fully transferable to subsequent owners, who can also take advantage of free MOTs at participating Audi Centres at any point in the vehicle’s life.

Audi UK recommends changing the cam belt once the mileage specified in the Audi service schedule is reached or at every five-year interval, whichever comes first. One of the hardest-working components in the engine, the toothed rubber belt can deteriorate over time, ultimately leading to cracks, rips and tears, and in the worst case scenario, it can snap whilst the car is running. Major engine damage can result which can be extremely expensive and time-consuming to remedy.

Fortunately, replacement is a simple process that can be booked at any Audi Centre in the UK. For Audi models up to 2.0-litres in engine size, a fixed price cam belt replacement costs £449, increasing to £599 for engines over 2.0-litres (excluding RS models).

While booking, customers also have the option to specify a courtesy car and to benefit from the Audi Cam video-based diagnostic service, through which Audi technicians can send customers video footage of any other problems that are identified whilst their car is being worked on.

Exacting standards
During every Audi cam belt replacement, the engine is disassembled and the belt itself replaced along with the cam belt tensioner. Naturally, only genuine Audi parts are used, and once reassembly is complete, each vehicle is given a thorough road test before the job is recorded in the service book.

The benefit of unparalleled specialist Audi knowledge and the reassurance of genuine Audi parts can also be enjoyed at a fixed price for many other items on the maintenance menu, including major and interim servicing. These are just some of the added value features that combine to make 'The Audi Difference'.

The Audi Difference refers to the fundamental practices and services which set Audi Centres apart. In addition to the convenience of Audi cam video diagnosis, other advantages include the availability of a free vehicle health check conducted with the benefit of the very latest Audi software updates whenever required, the option of car collection and return for service and maintenance jobs and on-site tyre sales and fitting.
