My car seems to be making a clunking sound when I first back out of my driveway with wheel on full lock. It sounds just like the sound of crunching snow (but we have none, yet anyway!!) and even feels the same. I'm wondering whether something is touching (brakes?) and I wondered if anyone else...
Hey all,
Been a while since I've been on here.
So my PCV valve has been showing an intermittent fault since I got the car (first appeared 6 days into ownership, to be precise). After a protracted debate with RAC Warranty including mediation, they are not budging and will not honour their 3 month...
Hey all,
Does anyone know if it's possible to get brighter bulbs for the rear registration plate lights? I presume they're LED already on the B8.5 S4.
TIA
My birthday is coming up and my bros wanted to get me something.
Toyed with custom gearknob, some carbon wing mirrors etc but decided to go with a personalised licence plate - CU54 BYE (see you S4 bye). Not something I would spend money on personally but didn't mind getting it as a present :)...
Hey guys,
After the saga with the rear diff on my previous S3 plaguing me, it seems that the S4 is (kind of) following suit.
Car was showing intermittent PCV valve malfunction error codes pretty much as soon as I bought it 3 months ago (mechanic friend scanned it 2 weeks after buying).
Car went...
Hey all,
Having just been away, it reminded me that my radio signal doesn't quite seem right. OK I was out in the sticks a little (Somerset/Devon) but I didn't even seem to pick up stations like Radio 1 which should have pretty widespread distribution. Also when I'm driving around my local area...
Hi all,
Changed car so looking to sell a boot liner that fits perfectly in the 8V. It's used (still using it now) but as it's rubber it will live forever!
Looking for £35 collected from St Albans (M1 J6/M25 J21A) or willing to post at buyer's cost, this could be around £7 as it's heavy.
Shown in...
I know it's not exactly the right season what with 30+ degrees heat coming back this week but can anyone recommend decent but not too expensive rubber mats?
Had the OEM A3 ones for my S3 (currently selling on eBay) which were brilliant, very deep channels for water to pool in.
Saw the Travall...
Hey guys,
Selling some of my S3 gear after trading it in.
Brushed silver mirror covers:

Full of sets of mats with red stitching unused (including a used pair of front A3 winter rubber mats):

Hi all,
Just a heads up that I've put my OEM unused roof rack system for the 8V A3/S3 Sportback without factory rails in the trading post section if anyone's looking for one.
Cheers
Unused OEM roof bar system, changed car so never got a chance to use it other than a trial run.
You get the roof bars, feet and fitting kit, two keys, special torque wrench, rubber strips to cover grooves when not in use (which I cut to size once fitted to the car) and instructions.
£120...
Just came across this if anyone's interested:

Hi all,
My new (to me) B8.5 S4 is due an oil change shortly and I wondered what people recommend. It's currently got 5W-30 in, I know when I had the S3 where oil kept going down people recommended 5W-40. Not had mine long enough to see whether this happens on S4.
Any thoughts welcome.
Hi all,
Recently got rid of my S3, I had bought the Audi OEM roof bars for an 8V without roof rails, unused other than to fit on the car once (had to adjust the width of the feet so should be plug n' play for whoever buys it).
Looking for £100 collected from Hertfordshire (where M1/M25...
We've touched on this before recently, I have emailed Saris support to ask whether their rear carriers are suitable for the Avant as Halfords are pretty vague ('may' be suitable for your vehicle!!).
Will keep you updated.
If anyone reads this and can confirm either way whether the Bones 2/3...
