    A week until the car goes back and this happens (!)

    Hi all. A week until the car goes back and I thought I'd take it out one last time to a beach we hadn't been to before. As I was reversing at an angle I heard a massive thwack and it turns out there was a small wall but the sensors didn't prompt me at all. The damage looks very minor and it's...

    Brake fluid change

    Hi all. I've been in the process of getting some items fixed on the car before VT'ing it. A wheel bearing was replaced under warranty and Audi informed me that the brake fluid needs changing (I'm not sure why they wouldn't have just changed it and when queried they said it would cost £65 WOW...

    Terminating PCP after 50% finance paid

    Hi all. I bought the A3 in June 2015 on a 4yr PCP but I very rarely use it these days due to leasing a car through one of my businesses. I made a quick call to Audi Finance to see if I could terminate the PCP and I was informed that I could do this in August (which will be when >50% of the...

    Catch to open the bonnet is very hard to open?

    I went to top up the windscreen washer reservoir this morning but the catch to open the bonnet doesn't seem to do anything!? After (almost feeling like it was going to snap off!) pulling really hard it made a slight sound but the bonnet is slightly ajar but not open if that makes sense. The last...

    Wheels horribly damaged after huge scrape

    So I was on a street today with parked cars (Bute Street in Cardiff if anybody knows it) both sides and a double decker was coming through the opposite way and was squeezing through even though it was my right of way(!) and forced me "into" the pavement. I'm not too familiar with this road as I...

    Electric window motor getting stuck... try this!

    Hey guys, Early last year the front windows got stuck due to a severe cold spell (no biggie - that's winter for you). They wouldn't open so I kept pressing the button and eventually the window 'jolted' a little (it became unstuck). The windows WOULD go up and down, but if you pressed the...

    Wrapping the alloys...?

    Hey guys, Has anybody had their alloys wrapped? If so is it worth it? I'm just looking for an external reversible mod I can have before I give the car back next year. I was thinking of getting a chrome black wrap for the 18" alloys. Obviously chrome black alloys themselves would look better...

    Changing car towards end of PCP condition, wear and tear etc...

    Hey guys, I currently have a 2015 A3 S-line which I will be changing next year (yeah I know it's ages away but good to have an idea of how picky Audi are when it comes to the condition). As you can probably tell it's my first new car so I'm just wondering when it does come to changing it how...

    New tyres...

    Hey guys, So I'm taking my A3 in for its first health check on Saturday at Cardiff Audi and I suspect they may mention new tyres. I've had a look on the Audi website and put in my registration and found the suitable ones, and will most probably go for some Audi genuine Continental 18" tyres...
