I've just had one of those weeks I over and want to forget. I don't want to sound like a country and western song telling you all about it but I hope you can help make one thing better. I lost my wheel nut key after changing my spare wheel. Can someone help me find out which one it could be, by...

A couple of years ago my car's radio reception took a nose dive. In general the reception is OK and picking up local stations and sounding clear but the list of available stations has dropped. When scanning for these further away stations they aren't found and occasionally it wont find more...

The car is a 2011 A3 2.0 TDI Sportsback and done about 100k miles. The glow plug light started flashing on the dash and the car went to limp mode I took it to a garage who said the error code is EGR error and been quoted £750 for the genuine part and replacement. I do trust this garage, but is...

Im on eBay looking for a replacement wing mirror, but I cant seem to find out if it is compatible with our car. All the checks list Audi A3 8P1 and 8PA however according to the car's actual chassis number it is 8P8. Is there an 8P8?

The side mirror glass fell off my wife's A3 sports back. Where is the best place to get a replacement.? I looked on eBay but they seem to be just generic replacements. It's also heated of that makes a difference.

Hi, Is the electronic handbrake / e-brake fail safe? Ie. is the default of the brakes actually and the electronics hold the brake off? My fanbelt has snapped AGAIN. The garage is a few miles away, although the steering is tough Im more worried about the battery. As it wont be charging I...

I am due to change my front tyres. Originally I had Michelin Pilot on and wasn't impressed. I then went to Dunlop SP Sport 1 and they where OK, but neither of them have lasted very long at all. I was looking at getting something like Bridgstone Turanza T005, which is more of a touring tyre...

Hi, I've had a few threads about this and left them at various stages. Long story short I get very poor radio reception. I replaced the booster with another one (which I can only presume is a working one) and it is no different. The next suggestion was to get a cheap aerial and plug that in...

Where is best to get a new set of under tray clips and screws? I've looked on eBay and it those look not long enough.

Is there enough space to fit either a space saver or a spare wheel under the floor or the boot in a saloon A4? I didn't know that using the foam puncture kids essentially destroys the tyre. If its the case of getting a spare wheel for a £100 or potentially running a £130 tyre, I'd rather pay...

Hello, Months ago I posted about a hollow knocking coming from the front end of the car, I think the front left. I have also noticed a huge difference in turning right, it just understeers so easily; also the front left tyre is wearing a lot quicker. Its wearing evenly but quicker. It is...

I have the 2.0d Technik which has the tdie engine. I know it was designed for lower emissions and better economy (although the better economy is very questionable) is there much mechanical difference between my engine and the other 2.0d engines which are more powerful and quicker? Is it all...

After replacing the aerial booster the radio is still not that good great, getting hissing and crackling on even local radio stations. Is there anything else I can check?

I've never been impressed with the handling of my car but recently there is a very noticeable difference in turning right and left. Turning right has no feel to it. There is no feedback from the car and it under-steers badly. When turning left you get the feedback from the road and the...

Im finally getting round to fixing the thing but I'm struggling to find where it is located. I've heard it should be on the D pillar on the passenger side, but I'm unable to see how the cover comes off. It looks like that part is one piece with the whole ceiling interior panel of the car.

In all seriousness, in general what is the handling like on A4. I have a Technik and I've never been impressed with the handling. I came from a 2004 Mazda 6 and I feel that car handles noticabliy better than my A4. I particularly notice it on slow sharp corners. I doubt it is my tyres as...

My aux tension suddenly broke yesterday. No warning, no sounds the steering suddenly went impossible to move and a few moments later the alternator light came on. Looking at it, the housing has just snapped. The tensioner was replaced during a cambelt change in March. I got the car back to...

Recently my car's radio reception has been terrible as in it wont pickup my local radio station and when it does the sound quality is very poor. Also today my MMI froze. When I turned the car off the radio didn't turn off and none of the controls responded. I had to pull the battery. What...

When I removed the bottom cover I had to Dremel most of the screws. I've contacted Audi for replacements and they said they are the quarter turn type of screws. I'm pretty sure the ones I took out weren't the quarter screw ones. Does everyone elses car have the quarter turn ones?

Hi, Im looking for rear sun blinds to keep the sun off the kids during our holiday. I dont like the ones which stick on, especially the ones with pictures. Last year we had ones which had a car on, and every time I looked over my shoulder to change lanes on the motorway, I thought there was a...
