Thanks, Audi must be a confused bunch, I had it serviced @ 2 years old, nobody mentioned about brake fluid change, then magically in the middle of 2 and 3 yrs old, I get a call. Ok, need to check on my lease if i HAVE TO used the main dealer or an independent VAG can do.

Got a call from, Audi that my brake fluid change is due. Car is now 32 months old. Believe it's due at three yrs. Assuming it's not covered in the service plan?

Though on black it's really easy to apply touch up paint! I used to have an Ibiza with gloss black wheels. Any curbs, I just applied other' half's gloss black nail polish, good for 4-5 months.

A3 Tpms is a strange one. Went off twice, in 3 yrs, both times no actual loss of pressure (have handheld thing to check). First time it went off I just swapped tires fronts with rears and vv went off only after 100 miles of driving, 2nd time was a week ago, after swapping passengers (4 of us inc...

I'm not sure which black you have, but mine is Brilliant Black (non-metallic no cost one) and noticed that dried up 'squashed insects' on the bonnet area are not so easy to wipe off with sponge/water/microfibre. Forget the paint, even the windscreen is easy to scratch (I did use the scourer side...

If I heard correctly on Autogefuel review, gone is the 1.0TSI (wohoo!, great engine though if not a bit underpowered) and 30 and 35 TFSI will be from 1.5litre. One de-tunred to 116 and the other the usual 150. Damn, they are still not the 30 TFSI 130 tune.

From a Seat Leon, would most likely fit. From a Seat Ibiza, probably not, as I 'think' they 5 x 108 or 5 x 102 (can't remember which). And I had the Leon and Ibiza both previously.

I guess that would depend what is mentions at the bottom row of the tyre pressure chart on the side of the inner driver's door frame. If it only shows you the pressures for spare tyre @ 18 inches, then get that one. For main tyres they range from 16 - 19 inch, 205 till 235 profile width. On...

Oh, I don't think the bolts will secure/fit then as they are different sizes

Guess it may depend on what is the old car. If it's one from the VAG stable, and also 5x112, then should be ok to use (subject on clearing the brakes). R17 'should' clear non S or RS models.

Looks like car used only in medium to heavy traffic conditions judging from the low average speed. Confident if you do the same journey (in the middle of night) with little stops and free flowing roads, should be able to get high 30s / low 40s mpg. Is it a manual? If yes, then well no MHEV...

Unless you are 'stuck' in traffic all the time, or just listening to the B&O in the A3 while being stationary, the road/wind noise (plus fan noise) whilst the car is moving is going to make whichever audio quality format irrelavent. I never found the engine noise an issue, it is very hushed. My...

I only used the auto-park function 3 times in 3 years! It once parked me so perfectly close and parallel to the curb once that I curbed my rims trying to get out. I never turn ESC off (forgot there was actually a button) I've not used S mode on the DSG (btw, is there a winter gear mode? if...

No issues for me with the height or close/far position to wheel of my seat. However i do not have no6 function on my seats. I have the 'Sport' trim seats. Not the S line ones with integrated headrest. UK spec car, other regions may have differnet combination of seats / trims. It does have seat...

The 'auto'park function once sent me into the curb (well actually it parked the fronts so close to the curb I couldn't fit my pinky finger there), so of course when I tried my best to get out, it curbed a little. Of course as my rims were not diamond cut, i just filled it with touch up paint...
