Does anyone have any of these running around spare, i have 1 but need another 3 at least. I've got 2 weeks until my mot and the tyres on my S3 alloys are shot and i need el-cheepo motoring for 6 months to get me by. Am willing to buy them, they dont need to be mint or anything, just sound and...

Does anyone know if audi have a site for their finance, i cant find it on their main website and there are no details of what is available or at what rates???

The RS4 avant is my dream car, good for the family, fast, powerful and good handling....the problem is the fuel economy, this is the major factor stopping me buying one as i commute over 100 miles a day which costs a fortune at 40-50mpg, let alone 20ish! So, are there any viable alternatives...

How light?? Surface rust will dissapear the first time you brake, however if its any more than that beware!

Thanks Andy, i found the perm live with my multimeter, i have a 2003 (8L old shape) so its a CANBUS however there is a switched feed but it must carry no current as it can't activate the radio. I shall run a new feed from the fuse box for the ignition switched feed tomorrow :) I will look...

I purchased a sony HU today to replace the tape player audi fit as standard, all was seemingly ok until i found out that audi deliberatly make things awkward. My current situation is old HU is out, new HU is kinda in but the wiring is er, butchered! Is there a switched feed from the...

Has anyone got pics of a black A3 fitted with Anthracite wheels (any style, but particually S3 ones!)?????

I'm near Torquay, its a very kind offer that i might well take you up on. Going to change the thermostat first and see how it goes...

Strangely enough it varies from journey to journey however it rarely reads 90 like it should so....

About 3-4K ago including oil, air filters etc..so fairly recently as i tend to clock up miles (although less so since xmas)....just about to hit 190,000 on the clock!

Yes but you dont drive an economical diesel that should be returning 50+mpg!

Tried to check the MAF but cannot physically remove it due to being fitted with security bolts :uhm: I dont have VAG-COM and it doesnt appear there is anyone round here that does :(

I have a 2003 TDi PD 130 which until fairly recently was returning a decent economy of approx 45-50mpg depending on use (when i got it 2 yrs ago it did nearly 60mpg!) However, its not returning 35mpg if i'm lucky - can anyone give me suggestions as to why this might be and what i should be...

Managed to get it out this evening, however with that much grief (and resultant damage to other componants) i dont wish to put the replacement in!!

How do you do this on a TDi, ive removed everything i need to, its all unbolted and i can get it off the splines however it doesnt come out, it gets jammed between the output flange on the flywheel and the casing on the subframe. I've spent 2 hours with a mate levering, jacking, lowering...
