Drove it to the dealer to have their vendors install three aftermarket items.1) Xpel clear film, 2) Interior textile fabric stain protection, 3) PVD chrome coating the 20" wheels. I also asked the dealer to update my Infotainment software to 18D. He said they cannot simply update the software without an issue being reported.
I've never owned a diesel and I came from an Audi TTS so wasn't too sure what to expect. I test drove a D240 and can't really 'feel' the difference although I'm sure there is. It's a whole different way to drive compared to the Audi. Much more 'relaxed' and I must say, very enjoyable, so far.

I think the same as you, I was very impressed with the performance and I'm coming from an S3. Although I've been in a A1 diesel for a few months now though [emoji23]
Not strictly today but yesterday, went to the supermarket and ended up taking a 15 mile detour on the way home just for the sheer pleasure of driving the car. Such a great car to drive and lovely environment to be in.
Better than that, the app has now started showing journeys again, and even downloaded all journeys between 7 December (when it stopped working) and yesterday, so they obviously get stored somewhere. But I've no idea why it suddenly started working again, I didn't change any settings on the car or update the app. Am however glad it did start working again!

First long motorway journey taking youngest back to Uni, surprised how smooth and quiet it was and unlike some I found three hours in the driving seat amazingly comfortable
Back to the dealer to have ACP installed. I'm quite impressed with it so far.....
Also started playing properly with the menus/setup. The loan car they gave me had the drivers interactive display set to full map which I liked so it's now set on mine...
Cleaned my daughter's sick from the back seat!!! Thankfully had invested in a couple of cheap ebay seat protectors - one for under her car seat and the other for the back of the driver's seat. These took most of the hit (and were binned), unfortunately the footwell mat took the rest.
Top tip for anyone in the same situation - standard LR carpet mats do not do well in the washing machine! The carpet bit of the mat washed well, but the rubber backing permanently loses all rigidness.
I treated a small bit of the actual car carpet with bicarbonate of soda - firstly, left the powder on for a day and hoovered up, then followed his up by spraying the area with a mix of BoS and water - once this dries it turns to powder and can be hoovered up. Amazingly, no smell following the incident!!!

Had the software updated on the instrument cluster, climate module and main system
