Every car has its own quirks. But, for the most part, as an owner you just seem to live with them and deal as time goes on. However, for this Audiworld forum user, this is just unacceptable.
Apparently, the 2010 Audi A3 TDI's navigation unit does not display gas stations that actually sell diesel fuel. Instead it just shows a gas station. I can understand that type of frustration, especially if you are in a neck of the woods you are not familiar with, but even then most freeway stops have diesel fuel.
So, we have two questions: 1) Does anyone else with an 2010 A3 TDI w/ navigation have this problem? 2) Is this guy being irrational or does he have a valid point?
Audiworld forum user "Hueso," reports:
"I took delivery of my 2010 A3 TDI at the end of december after placing the order at the end of august. I order my aruba blue tdi, with titanium package, premium plus, cold weather and nav.
First of all I love the car, especially the titanium trim package. But I having a few issues with the nav-plus, the improved graphics and traffic info is great but it is extremly frustrating when in an area I am not familiar with and need to find a diesel station and the nav list gas stations not diesel stations..........Audi of America listen up.........It would certainly be nice to be able to look on the nav and find out where to refuel. I passed 9 gas stations that popped up on the nav along my route and a couple that did not.......none of which had diesel! I ran out of fuel as I finally located a station. I paid extra tolls getting on and off toll roads to stop at stations. That is the problem...."
