Hi, I've a 2018 Quattro sedan, stage 1 with downpipe and Milltek exhaust. I've noticed recently a slight fluttering (intermittent) from the turbo at low speed , normal acceleration, changing from first to second (auto) - I've not heard it at any other time (maybe I can't above exhaust noise)...

Thanks for that - appreciate it!

Thanks - I've booked into the Audi centre - they will investigate.

Thanks - they are factory OEM so will have to be removed I assume. The replacement part I saw online - $330!!!!

I have a 2018 A3 quattro sedan (US spec). The drivers door s-line illuminated sill has stopped working. I understand this is battery powered and activated by a magnet under the door. Does anyone know can the battery be replaced and how, and where exactly is the battery? Thanks!

Hi Guys and Gals. I bought Eibach spacers for my 2018 2.0T Quattro sedan (US spec). When I looked at their website it listed the kits as "20mm pair", "25mm pair" and "30mm pair". I read this to be "20mm for the pair" but it turns out that they are 20mm per side. I am having lowering springs...

Thanks for your reply. Yes - US spec 2.0l quattro is 220bhp/258 ft-lb stock. (0-100kph 5.5sec - manufacturers figures). Tuners here are saying that stage 1 can add 60 to 80 bhp without putting undue strain on components. They have highly recommended DSG tune as well.

I have a USA spec A3 quattro (220bhp) s-line sedan - Prestige plus, (left hand drive - I live in Europe). I'm new to this and am starting on the journey of modifying and tuning. I will start with small suspension upgrades - Eibach lowering springs and spacers. I will keep the stock 18" alloys...

Thanks very much for your reply. I definitely would not go any further than this- I don't need it. I appreciate your advice! I'll investigate further.

The last time I modified any car was over 40 years ago when I used to play with Cooper S's. Since then have driven standard cars and used garages to sort out any problems. I'm now retired and want to rediscover car fun, however when I look under the bonnet - no thanks!!! Your suggestion of a...

Thanks guys - I think I could get away with the springs - I have read .8inch front and .4 inch back. I just think the car profile is spoiled by the arch gap.

Hi guys and gals, I am an Englishman living in Lviv, Ukraine, and I recently bought a low mileage (18k km) 2018 A3 2.0 (220bhp) quattro Premium Plus sedan from USA. I am now looking at ways of improving what is already a good car. I want to increase power slightly - improve sound and reduce...
