    EV conversions: the future

    Also, some of those Audi engines are an excellent piece of engineering. It would be shame to make it redundant.

    EV conversions: the future

    I really hope the size and cost of the batteries come down significantly to the point that you can just take out the old engine and just stick in a motor and your battery where the fuel tank would be and call it a day (super optimistic and will never be that simple but one can dream). I keep...

    EV conversions: the future

    I’ve my A3 8P now for nearly half a decade. It’s my first car and I love it to bits. I really don’t want to let it go ever and I hope to keep it like a classic car ( I don’t think it will ever become a proper classic and go up in value like an S3 but I’ve my reasons to keep her for as long as I...

    Xtrons headunit any good.....fits straight into Audi A3 8p

    That unit has 2GB RAM, which seems a bit low for an Android device. I wonder what's the performance like? The 6GB RAM version is stupidly expensive.

    Xtrons headunit any good.....fits straight into Audi A3 8p

    Has anyone fitted an Xtrons unit yet? They seem expensive for what they are. Looking to get one for my A3 or a Sony XAV-AX1000 unit that has Carplay. They cost about the same when you include the CANBUS adapters and trimming. I'm just concerned about the longevity of the Xtrons and build quality.

    LLL Parts needing VIN number

    Sadly, no good as like a lot of UK companies, they don’t ship to ROI anymore. I’ve chanced lllparts to see how I get on. I didn’t give them my VIN number just in case but I gave my model and year as a note. I paid with PayPal in case things go wrong. Thanks everyone for replying and thanks...

    LLL Parts needing VIN number

    Yeah, I totally get that that, I've a '09 8P1 so it's different to the earlier versions. However, can I trust their site with my VIN number? They're not a main dealer. I'm nearly sure I have the correct parts. One part is the "ashtray delete kit" so it's not an original to my car but the rear...

    LLL Parts needing VIN number

    Hi all, I’m looking for items and I found them on LLL Parts for a decent price . I read the reviews and suffice to say, they’re not great or they’re excellent. I’m willing to take a gamble and pay with PayPal, however, they’re asking for my VIN number. Should I give them this number? Can I...

    Centre console grab handles repair

    The ones from the scrap yard arrived today and they look way better than the current ones. They’re not perfect but still better than what I have

    Crazy fuel prices

    Whatever happened to Biodiesel made from algae? Was that feasible in the end? I'd love to convert my A3 to electric to semi futureproof it but it would be such a shame to scrap that beautiful 1.9TDI engine

    Centre console grab handles repair

    Looks way better than scratched but I would love to keep it rubbery as I rest my knee there on the motorway when on cruise control. I'll see how the scrap yard ones fares, might be better than the ones I currently have.

    Centre console grab handles repair

    I would love to have leather trim but I just have a normal setup. I don’t want to modify the car too much either, keep as close to stock as possible so if I ever sell it (I don’t think I will. It’s my first car and I want to keep it until it becomes uneconomical to maintain.)

    Centre console grab handles repair

    I know. Lovely car ruined by that. I wonder how well the plasti dip would hold? I’m half tempted to experiment to see how well I get on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Centre console grab handles repair

    So my radio had an issue where it would randomly make a pop noise and turn off. I brought it back to the garage I bought it from and when they took out the radio, they must have placed it on those centre grab handles because it came back all scuffed and ruined Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Centre console grab handles repair

    Hi all, I’m new here so please forgive me if I’m breaking any rules, the only thread I could find was from 2013 so I assume that that’s very dead at this stage. I’ve an 2009 8P1 and the centre console grab handles are scuffed and scratched and I’m wondering what could I do to make them look...
