Sorry for the very late reply, the car had an unfortunate end in January this year and I'm just checking back in to grab the photos I uploaded as the bike rack is to be sold. It's proved excellent, we took 2 bikes up to the north of Scotland, an 850 mile round trip and no problems at all. It...

One of the battery suppliers I've used in the past explained about Varta being the maker of Bosch batteries and that Varta is generally cheaper. I found the supplier I've been to in the past in Sheffield (SYSBS) and they have the Varta Silver 77 Ah 780 CCA in stock for £83 and in the past they...

I had to call the RAC out for 2009 2.0 TFSi, checked the battery, an unbranded thing, and it's failed. It looked like I was looking at a Halfords option as they're next to work but I've managed to get home and now have the luxury of shopping around. From the checker an 096 battery is what I...

For anyone that may be interested here's the Saris Gran Fondo fitted to my A3. The straps don't put any pressure on the rear spoiler and the frame doesn't interfere with the rear wiper so all good. I've not road tested it yet, the first trip will be a 400 mile trip up to the north of...

Weekdays I'm normally in Durham, weekends and any other free time I'm in Sheffield which is home.

I've added a pic of my 2009 A3 2.0 TFsi Quattro below. I've seen some other posts but didn't want to hijack them as they seem to have a pretty good idea of what path they want to take. I'm looking for ideas on a roadmap for changing the car on a budget without changing the look drastically? A...

Thanks, sounds like I was overthinking this, I'll give that a go.

Thanks for the advice, it was of help despite me picking the following bike rack :redface: I just liked the fitment and the ease for mounting the bikes, particularly as it'll fit our other car and the missus can probably cope with this one without banging the pedals into the bodywork. It's the...

This may be of use to someone searching the forum but those last issues are resolved, just one new intermittent brake circuit error which is new. As NHN advised a system function test had been enabled and it was waiting for me to run those tests. So I followed the following process to clear...

The RNS-E manual barely touches upon the telephone operation, maybe a separate guide. I can add voice dial options manually, a little painful so I've only added a few. The voice recognition works quite well though. These voice entries aren't added to the main directory (NAME) which is expected...

I was hoping these would be a lot cheaper somewhere. I did see one on eBay from an Audi dealer but for a around £100 I think I can live with my cigarette lighter USB adapter.

Thanks I'll have a look, I've now managed to download a manual so will browse that too.

I saw one of these listed a while back and wondered if anyone used one, if they're really worth the price tag? https://shops.audi.com/en_GB/web/zubehoer/p/universal-mobile-phone-holder-plus-wireless-charging-qi-standard-4g0051435b-10 I believe there is a Gen 2 compaible version, it would be...

Thanks, I shall take a look and if needed contact them for advice.

That's a bit better, cleared the codes on each module and this is what's left, just the air con faulting. One other question, I was browsing the modules and checked the Headlight Range Control, mine's set to 0000013 which says is for the A3 (8P) Cab. I'm not sure if there's a huge difference or...
