Evening all, Looking to give the little girl a bit more oomph. Got a 170tdi S Line Sportback with the PD engine. 2007 (57). Now do I go for an ecu upgrade or a tuning box and which ones are favourite with you all? Cheers

Hi, I am normally found lurking around on the A3/8p forum, however I also own a 3.0 tdi Touareg. Listed below is the latest scan as EML has been on for a couple of weeks with no difference to the drive. Was wondering if someone could guide me in the right direction as to what is required to put...

As above, tonight I drove the car for the first time in the dark since having the car lowered 35mm and the lights are ****e (drove on main beam most of the way home). I have the adaptive zenons and foolishly thought that they would auto level. What do I need to do to lift them so I can see...

As above, can anyone reccomend a good detailer in one of these areas. Would like to have my car looking pristine for AITP. Thanks in advance.

Thinking of buying a set of the above for my A3 S Line 170TDI. Has anyone used these springs and if so what are your thoughts compared to standard S Line or even Eibach or H&R? Thanks in advance.

Damian, Looking for some advice on lowering springs as totally confused after reading loads of threads. I have an A3 S Line 170TDI on a 57 plate. Now I am looking at dropping it about 20-25mm and getting a better ride. The current S Line springs are too harsh for the roads round my way. From...

Morning All, A few weeks ago or may be longer I read a post about how to keep the street map on the screen when you switch the ignition on and off instead of having the last address come up all the time. Cant find post, so hoping someone can tell me how to do it. Thanks

Evening All, I had the pleasure of driving the Mrs' A3 170 S line Sportback on a 300 mile round trip at the weekend and would like some advice on the following; 1, I found the suspension very hard ( I know its an S line and it should be) but I was wondering if there is such a spring around...

As title. Anyone in the Essex area that wouldn't mind running a VCDS check on my car to look at climate control not working properly. I will of course pay for your time and meet where ever is best. Cheers in advance

Have just purchased a mint 330d M Sport Cab (hard top) in Techno Violet with all the goodies, ex BMW employee car. Wife wanted another cab all summer and have not found either an A4 or an A3 that meets with her approval. She likes all the goodies and we had a budget of £17500. Really wanted an...

Hi Gents and Lasses. I have a problem with my wifes A3 Dual Zone Air Con. Was driving it today for the first time in about 6 weeks and noticed that the passenger side heating /air con is just pushing out cold air. It does not change at all whether you have the dial at 16 or 28. Drivers side is...

Evening chaps. Forgive my ignorance but I have been reading on the A4 forum that lots of people are having trouble with injectors on the tdi 170 pd engine with frightening prices to replace. Question is, how do I know which engine I have the pd or the cr? Car is a 2007 (57) 2.0 tdi 170 S line...

Hi Gents, Is there anyone in the Essex Area with VCDS willing to help me out? I need a scan running to see if there are any codes showing up as I have a problem with the DPF. Just need to know if it is the G450 sensor or something more sinister. Thanks in advance.

DPF and engine management light have just come on my A3 S Line 170. Have run for 15 mins @2000rpm as manual suggests. Cant work out why it has come on as the last 3 journeys the car has done have been 380, 210 and 120 miles. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I can now do please? Car has done...

A big thanks to Johnny, he is a top man.I was unable to make South Mimms 2 weeks ago, so yesterday I met him at 7.30am in some obscure corner of Somerset. He fitted cruise with no fuss to my wifes A3 S Line 170 tdi. He also put the bleep on for lock/unlock,one touch up and down on the windows...

Hi Guys, Read on a post some time ago about my problem but cannot find at the mo. I have just changed the 18" SLine wheels fitted to our SLine Sportback and fitted a set of A4 SLine wheels. Problem I now have is that I can hear what appears to be a scraping somewhere on the rear when I give it...

Can anyone please reccomend a detailing company or individual in Essex. Thanks

Advice req please gents. Looking at lowering the wifes A3 sportback Sline. I understand the Sline sits 20mm lower than std. Are the figures quoted on lowering springs from std height, ie 30mm lowering would lower her car by 10mm? Thanks in advance.

Can anyone recommend a tinting company in Essex? Looking at having her indoors A3 Sportback done for Xmas present. Cheers in advance.

I have a set of Brand new AP coilovers still in the box that I bought 3 weeks ago from DPM hastily for my wifes 2007 A4 Cab. They cost £470.00 I am /was not happy with the way the car sits currently on Eibachs but the wife is and its her daily drive. They are not now being fitted so up for...
