    Recently had a couple of issues fixed by Audi but a number of problems (which they created) have since arisen which they don't seem to have an idea as to how to fix just yet. This forum has a lot of knowledgable people so I'm hoping you guys can give me an idea as to what may have happened. I...

    Focals installed - sound quality

    hi, had some Focal 165VR splits and an amp installed and I'm finding the sound is not as loud as the OEM set up and not as punchy.

    alternate use of towing eye

    This might be a silly question but I've always wondered why the towing eye (at the back of the car) cannot be used to attach a bike carrier (for those that don't have a tow bar) or why a company hasn't designed one to work with it?

    Anyone remapped the new A3 1.8TFSI
