    Please Help :(

    Thanks guys. Much Appreciated. Managed to get the bonnet open today by applying a little pressure down on the bonnet then pulling the handle to get it up. Got it started and went out for a spin, got back, went to put the bonnet back up and its stuck again. Ha Ha. My bad. In my eagerness to take...

    Tyres... Choices Choices

    Hey people. As the title suggests im after some new tyres. My main concerns are low road noise, not too pricey as looking to sell some time soon, and as for performance. Well anything will be better than my current tyres as the previous owner just put some cheap tat on the car. Also tyre life...

    Servicing and haldex question

    The reason they quoted the haldex/dsg oil is that when the previous owner serviced the car at 75k miles, I assumed it had be done. On closer inspection, it hadn't so just making sure its done this time. I certainly wont be taking it to Audi for the service as my friend is a fairly decent...

The previous owner left the carpets filthy, so my questions are 1: What product/s would you use to remove dirt/staining from the carpets? 2: What method should I use and 3: Would a steamer be of any advantage to bringing out any...

    Gutted bad day with 2 cars.

    Isn't it strange how as soon as I read the words "told my girlfriend to take my S3" I knew there was at the very minimum Kerbing involved. Consider yourself lucky. When my girlfriend borrowed an old car of mine, she put it head on into a tree. A ****** big tree! Obviously taking the roundabout...

    In need of some silver inspiration.

    Does anyone have any pics of nicely done A3's in silver? Trying to decide whether to stick it out with mine or swap in for another colour. No outragous body kits please. If possible The old Double grille front too please :) Thanks in advance.
