Evening all! Having left for pastures new (briskoda.net) I've found my way back here(!) and need someone to work out my riddle involving a MK1 TT rear brake calipers. I changed from my 8P A3 2.0TDI sport to a Skoda Fabia vRS and want to upgrade the rear brakes as they look lost behind my...

if i could get her to take it off my hands for £6k then i will be a happy(ish!) man, been looking at a fabia vrs as a replacement (cheaper to buy than an audi, and will leave me some left over for other deposit etc, similar performance stats to the 2.0tdi a3 i have, although i know i will be...

thanks tku i am lucky i suppose, i know she wont try to rob me blind, but i have experienced the other in my past!!! about what i was expecting, suppose i should be happy with that, but would prefer to keep my car!!!

Hi guys and gals. I've come to a sad part of my life, i have recently split with my missus of 5 and a half years, so i have to sell my beloved car :( Although i know Audi's keep their value well compared to most, i have no idea what this would represent, was wondering how much it actually...

yeah the bit that goes along the middle. was a little concerned with various warnings about going over edges of bodywork/paintwork. i got the full range of menz pads and polish at my disposal

I want to machine polish my a3, but a little concerned about doing the door trim. Is it best to leave alone and hand polish this, or give it a really quick going over with somthing like a 4" spot pad?

no worries. if it's only roughed up, you might get away with somelike 3000 or 4000, which would make the polishing out much easier. i need to do something similar to mine as got loads of stone chips on my headlights and i hate it! hope it works out well!

i've seen alot of people wetsanding the light, then usethe rotary to polish it back. really does depend on how deep it is though. hope that helps

depending on the age of the cars, 140's have down facing exhaust pipes, and the 170 have chrome looking straight pipes. not sure if this is the case on the newer models though

2004 a3 2.0 tdi bought: 93000 now: 97100 owned 5 months

some really good points on here so far. i bought my 140 back in march, but test drove the 1.9 (105) before this. as someone said, there is a noticable difference in power between the 2, but then after a while that is forgotten as you get used to what you're driving, and now i'm graving more...

Saw these on detailingworld... very good effort I would be well chuffed if i had done that :respekt:

yeah that's the sort of package i was looking at as vag paint is hard by all accounts, perfect if it will help with this little issue! I appreciate your help

Not much product at the moment as saving up for a da polisher or rotary with the various bits and bobs to go with it, so only have the basics, ipa, tardis, ag srp, and some various bits for trim, tyres etc. There is no damage to the car, literally just their paint, but had a go 2 weeks ago...

Some a$$hole has hit my car whilst parked and left their white paint on my rear bumper, then kindly drove off :no: Thankfully the only damage is the paint!! I have a brilliant red Audi, so the white paint isn't exactly appealing to me!! Anyone have any suggestions of how to get this off...
