Afternoon chaps, I have a 59 plate a3 tdi (140). The glow plug warning light is showing and I have the code P0299 showing. I believe this is something to do with the turbo. I have it booked into Audi for an inspection but not sure if this is the best route to go down. Don't fancy paying £60...

I think mine is the facelift version like the one in the picture below. Been quoted £15 from Audi. Not sure if this is good or not.

Morning all, Does anyone know the best place to get a rear tow cover and what price they are? Mine has come of when I drove over a block of wood when driving over Runcorn bridge this morning. I have a 59 plate A3 Black edition 3 door. I am based around Manchester/ Warrington/ Liverpool area...

I have just changed from an 06 DBP R32 to a 59 plate black edition 140. I loved the rasp of the v6 and the colour of the car but the running costs were high. I was filling the car up every 4 days and I only work 25 miles away. The cabin in the a3 looks and feels a lot nicer. I love the flat...

Sorry to hear this. My mate had all the s3 parts stripped from his 2007 s3 when it was parked outside his flat in Castelfield, Manchester. Grim

Im from grapenhall heys mate which is basically about 30 seconds away from appleton. You will have to show me your car next time your are nearby. I have just been speaking to NHN about the rns-e upgrade so I will probe get that done first then look into getting the s3 parts fitted. I want the...

Afternoon people. My name is alex, 22 from Warrington. I have recently changed from a mk 5 r32 to a 59 plate audi a3 black edition. I loved the r32 especially the sound but when I started to work further away from home the price of fuel got a bit ridiculous so I decided to be sensible and get a...

Thanks for all the replies. I also think the s3 i really want is the facelift one which is way out of my price range. Im not that bothered about modding it. Im leaning towards a blue R32, with sat nav, recaros, dsg and put a miltek exhaust on it. I can get a decent one for around 10k so i...

I really can't decide. TBH I'm not really that bothered about modding it. A black edition grill and some nice alloys would do me nicely. You happy with the s3? I want to get one before christmas so need to make my mind up.

Evening all, I am 21 years old and in the position to spend up to 13k on a car. To begin with I was going to be sensible and get a newish diesel a3. But seeing as I'm living at home for the next few years I thought i might swell get a high performance car whilst I can. I can't decide between a...

Alryt chaps, I have only been using the NDNCD with churchill, all other companies I have been stating 0 NCD. I have just rang churchill, and put my mum and dad as named drivers and can get: 2009 A3 2.0 TDI 170 BE for £1,027 2009 A3 2.0 TFSI BE for £ 1,2050 2009 S3 for £ 1,4450 In my opinion...

These were the quotes I received on go compare for a 2009 S3. Does this bell company insert a tracker into your car to monitor how and when you drive? I live in Warrington, is this a high risk area?

Hi chaps, I am looking for either a 59/10 A3 black edition 2.0 tfsi or a 2009 s3 and have been ringing around for insurance quotes recently. I am currently a named driver with churchill and have 4 years Named driver no claim discount and I am looking to start my own policy. With the 4 years...
