Tried to fill up this morning and it wouldn't open. It opened a bit on the popper just enought for me to notice that the little metal locking pin had not retracted. I tried locking and unlocking the car but to no avail. Luckily I still had 100 miles to go so just carried on to work. I...

Is it possible to fit the puddle, footwell, door, centre console etc lights to an A3? Mine has the standard lighting so map and sunvisors only. I like the idea of the red ambient lighting and the footwell and puddle lights. If it's possible how easy is it to do and does it require any coding?

As title, I'm looking at upgrading my lighting and wondered if these e-bay items will do the trick: Audi A3 (8P) 2003- FULL INTERIOR LED Bulbs KIT WHITE | eBay Alternatively does anyone on here do a kit for both interior and exterior?

I currently drive a 3.2 and as much as I love it and as much as it's cost me in repairs in the last year (cam-chains, cam-chain tensioners, juddering issues etc) I still wonder if a newer S3 might float my boat. I like the seamless power delivery and the way it pulls from a standstill. I like...

Driving home earlier and as I looked down at the clocks after an overtake I'm sure I saw the EPS and Emission Control System light come on but as soon as I noticed them they dissapeared. I'd just carried out an overtake up to about 65mph in manual mode and then slipped it back into automatic...

In normal driving conditions it drives great. However, when driving round a large roundabout at "moderate pace" I get a rumble from the front n/s wheel area. I don't really feel it through the steering but you do feel it through the car. the nearest I can describe is if you've got a flat tyre...

There is a little plastic latch underneath the front of the lid of the arm rest which just broke off in my hand! Anyone know if I can get a preplacement lid or am I looking at buying a complete unit?

So, the fronts on my A3 are almost at the wear indicators and the wear pattern on the FNS is very much on the outermost part so need to replace and get a full alignment setup sorted. I've spent the last hour searching this place and the options seem to be as follows: Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta...

Got a warning come up on the DIS this morning. Bought bulb kit and had a look in the boot and it doesn't look like a 2 minute job with no tools required like my old car! Is it a difficult job to do as it certainly looks it after a quick gander in there!?!

With my job I need to be mobile throughout the winter periods and this year my work are offering to pay for a set of winter wheels and tyres. I'd like to get a pair of steels like these: 4 vw/audi 15" steel wheels 5x112pcd golf,passat,a4,a6 etc | eBay My only problem is I'm not sure what are...

They didn't get further than ripping the side gate off it's hinges as they woke us up making a racket but I'm now paranoid they're after my A3! This sort of thing has never happened to us before and the Police said they can't remember the last burglary/theft in this area as it's a very quiet...

Nothing major but one is rather annoying! 1. I really can't figure out how to remove the chrome cover around the DSG shifter :uhm:. I want to wrap it as its got a few marks and looks unsightly. Could someone give an idiots guide to correct removal please? 2. My single din Concert started...

Got back earlier with the Mrs just in time for the heavens to open so we ran from the car and through the front door. After about 3 to 4 hours of torrential rain it's now stopped. I walked past the front window and to my confusion and then horror at realising what I'm going to find, the...

Mine has a number of chinks and scrapes and I would like to remove it and renovate it. How do you remove it as it seems to not want to budge!?!

Ok, now that its running better it's time to purchase a few things that are desperatly needed as follows: Headlight Protectors Full mat set (can you get sline or quattro badged ones?) Locking wheel nuts Full set of wheel nut covers. Looks like its black or chrome are the options on evilbay but...

After having my car written off last week I'm going to look at a 2004 3.2 QS DSG tomorrow (fingers crossed). Apart from the usual 2nd hand car checks what in particular should I check for re the 3.2 and specifically the DSG? I hadn't thought about the DSG before and have never driven one so not...

Going to look at one this weekend that's being sold at a local independant "prestige" garage. Mileage is 52k. Oh, and it's a quattro. What are the main things I should look out for? Also, I'm pretty sure it's a 170bhp version but how do you check for sure? I have the reg number so could it be...

Hi guys. I'm going to view and test drive a 2005 3.2 QS this coming Saturday and wondered if you knowledgable lot had any views? Particularly if any of you can advise me on what to look for when buying, what goes wrong, driving experience as a day to day car including commute. Looking forward to...

As per my other thread, I'm looking at getting an A3 1.8 TSQ. I know that from pics the car I'm looking at getting doesn't have front fogs! Can the S3 lower bumper insert (with fogs) be retro fitted? Sorry, new to Audi's so forgive my lack knowledge :confused:

Just joined and I have a question for you all. I currently drive a 2001 Frod Focus 2.0 Zetec ESP with very low mileage at 46k. I am happy with the car but I've allways hankered after a bit more oomph. I have the opportunity of doing a deal on a 1999 Audi A3 1.8 T Sport Quattro with 74k, 19"...
