Shippo, at #2131, suggests Castrol Syntec 5W40 is junk. Why?

Replying to: gismo23 (Aug 30, 2007 12:08 pm) Why? The Syntec 5W-40 is just a Group III hydrocracked crude oil and not a true synthetic (and as such it only meets the minimal VW 502.00 oil spec), meanwhile 0W-40 and 0W-30 oils are a full Group IV PAO based synthetic (that also meet the far more stringent VW 503.01 oil spec). I hope this helps. Best Regards, Shipo |

I just bought a 2007 Audi A3 with premimum package. From the manual of A3, it seems that there are two storage compartments in both front seats. But I only found one in the passenger seat of my A3, while no one in the driver seat. I am not sure if it is because my car has premimum package which includes power driver seat. Can anyone confirm with it? How many storage compartments in the front seats are in your A3? Thanks a lot!

I am trying to decide between the S Line or Premium Package on the A3 and was wondering the consensus on whether or not the upgraded suspension offered with the S Line package was worth the additional price over the Premium Package. If there is little difference with the suspension upgrade, I was thinking of going the route of the Premium Package and using the money saved toward the Open Sky option. Any feedback will greatly be appreciated.

Replying to: jf123 (Sep 19, 2007 1:24 pm) Although I'd say the differences between the regular suspension setup, and the sport setup were not DRASTIC or HUGE, I would say it was significant and noticeable. If your looking for a sports car, go for the sports suspension. If you are looking for a luxury car, go for the Premium package.

| I am considering a used 07 A3. Seller said it has technology pkg. I thought technology package requires either premium pkg or S-line pkg. Is that correct? Thanks. | |
