Fitted the badge today. It is the type with 2 clips, doesnt feel like it will fit but if you force it on it goes on fine and wont be coming off in a hurry! Looks pretty good. Will get a pic when i get round to it.

Just been having a look at it, dont think its possible to stop it. Whatever angle i move, touch or poke the rest from, it squeaks. Its just the way all the bits of plastic fit together, its not actually rubbing against anything. Annoying, as its such a good feature and i wouldnt be without it.

Anyone elses center arm rest noisy? Mine squeaks loads when i go over small bumps etc or move my arm slightly to change gear. Its just a general squeak from the whole thing moving within the center console, so not sure there is a lot that can be done, but does anyone have any ideas?

Is there any audi meets in suffolk or essex area? I live in ipswich.

Does it sound like its coming from somewhere on the passenger side, perhaps high up somewhere? I believe i had the same noise when i drove my car for the first time, going over a big bridge in the wind. Only happened as i approached 80mph. Heard it for one tiny bit the next day, but havent heard...

real of course! Ordered a grille badge, havign second thoughts about whether to fit it or not though.

thanks!

Hi, been using the site for a while but i joined by linking to my facebook account, now i cant register with a username because it just uses my facebook name. Cant register again because the email address is used by facebook so it wont let me. Is there a way that i can just change my username...

Didnt realise the real one wouldnt fit. I thought the two clips pushed on the back of the horizontal slat, and it pushed into them with the gap in the badge going over the vertical slat. How does yours work are there just some nuts on the back to tighten?

is that the badge you used mate? It just looks a little too chrome compared to the OEM one. The one on the grille looks fine though, if its the same one?

160hp although apparently the 1.8 is more like 170 or so when its been on rolling road and remaps to about 210. 0-60 is 7.6 which feels pretty rapid.

cheers, definitley keeping the wheels! Also, it has DRL but the standard halogen ones. I did look into changing them but dont think its worth the effort really.

took some pictures at the weekend when i cleaned it. Doesnt stay clean for long! By the way if anyone can tell me how to register with a username instead of just my facebook name i'd be very thankful, it wont let me because my email is linked to facebook so it says already in use! I tried a...

great thanks, ive found some on ebay. How easy would they be to fit? Does the bumper have to come off?

Just washed my car and found quite a big hole through the plastic part which the fog lights are in. Looks like a big stone has gone right through it. Im amazed i didnt notice it before, as i've only had the car a week and inspected it all over before i bought it. I've already washed it once...
