Hi all I own a 2014 A3 TDI S-line Sportback. I've developed a low-speed creak (over speed humps, on and off the drive, etc). Can anyone advise me what sort of job it is to replace the suspension bushes and, if needed, the front top mounts ? Also, what sort of bill I could expect ? Many thanks.

Hi all Hope you are all keeping well I have been told, as part of my MOT test, that my nearside rear shock is starting to fail and will need replacing before much longer. From online research, it seems that the Sachs OE part that I need is either twice the price of every other shock on the...

Hi all Does anyone have any pics of an A3 8V Sportback with genuine 18" Rotor wheels on please ? TIA

Hi all I am currently toying with the idea of an SQ5, but budget restrictions will only allow me into the higher mileage model bracket. With this in mind, are there any pitfalls that I need to look out for ? TIA.

Driving between work and Lincoln on Friday evening, at the end of a hectic day,minding my own business, and this happens : 2 motorbikes and a car were coming in the opposite direction. The next thing I know "bang", and my replacement windscreen virginity has gone. What annoyed me as...

Hi all Just a quick post to say that I have, at last, got myself into an 8V A3 Sportback 2.0TDi S Line. It's been just over a year of hell, trying to sort out the mess left behind by an unscrupulous dealer ( not Audi ) who sold me an 8P Black Edition, then pocketed the money without paying off...

Hi all I have the OEM Bluetooth, coupled with the Concert stereo, and everything is good volume-wise . . . . except for the voice that reads incoming text messages. When I first started using the Bluetooth it was fine, but now I can hardly hear what is being said. The volume for all the other...

Esteemed members I have just about decided to part with my trusty A3 Sportback TDi Sport 140 after 8 years, and quite fancy a Black Edition Sportback TDi. There are a few around that I like the look of, and that are in the price bracket I can afford. My only dilemma now is which engine to go for...

Hi all I have a 2004 2.0 TDi Sportback Sport, in Liquid Blue, that I bought back in 2007, It has just clocked 85000 miles and is in excellent condition for it's age ( according to Audi tech guy ). My thinking at the moment is this; should I add some reasonable Mods, knowing that the insurance...

Hi guys Your help / thoughts / ideas would be much appreciated. First one, then both, my number plate lights have stopped working. I have tried new bulbs, but no change ( bulbs tested & they are fine ). There doesn't seem to be any power at the two terminals in the tailgate, at least my tester...

Apologies if this has been discussed before, but I had a quick look through previous posts and couldn't find anything. For a few weeks now, I have been debating whether to purchase the following after-market fog grille mounted DRLs for my 54-plate Sportback. DAYTIME DRIVING LIGHT IN FOG...

I still have the standard 225/45R17 tyres on my A3 TDi Sportback Sport, and have been using Eagle F1 Asymmetrics for the last couple of years. Usually change a pair at a time, putting the new ones on the rear. The fronts are now due to go, but it seems that I have only got around 12k out of...

Hi all. Recently noticed some "pimpling" in the paintwork along the bottom door panels, on one rear wheel arch and along the sills. Took the car to Lincoln Audi, and they said that it was a common problem which would be sorted under warranty. Great ! A few days later I got a call...

A friend has a 2001 Allroad 2.5 TDi quattro, and has been told that it needs a new fuel pump. The car has been taken to a non-franchised dealer, and they have quoted . . . . wait for it . . . . £3k !!!!! Can someone tell me if this is right ? Or better still, where is the best place to go for...

OK, so how unlucky is it to clobber not one but two wild birds in one day ? Got away with this morning's incident, but forfeited a nearside fog light grille tonight. :sign_unfair: With the demise of "Audi Accessories", does anyone know a cheaper place than a stealer to get a...

Was trawling the web for a new rear wiper motor for the wife's 6N Polo when I came across these :- http://www.independent-inventory.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=2673&osCsid=2915fd04d7db216f4d1b224434e81462 What do you guys think ? Has anyone bought these already ?

Hi guys. Just recently I have noticed a 3 - 5 mpg drop in the MPG I'm getting. I do the same run every day, which is abount 22 miles each way on a mix of dual carriageway and reasonable country roads. Having thought about what may be different over tha last few weeks, all I can come up with...

Drove the 22 miles to work this morning - no probs (except for the -3 to -8 outside temperature). Tonight, however, after starting as normal, and ticking over fine whilst I set the heater, switched on the rear demister, and fastened my seatbelt, the engine just died as I tried to reverse out...

Was just wondering if such a thing exists. Everyone seems to go on about how much extra power they get from a remap, but nobody mentions economy. Having read about potential clutch problems, etc, I would gladly sacrifice some of the power / torque gain for extra mpg. Thoughts anyone ?

Following the demise / suspension / whatever of Audi Accessories, does anyone know where I can get a Votex rear spoiler for my Sportback ? I have spoken to my local stealer, and have been told that they don't deal with Votex anymore . . . but they could sell me a genuine Audi one for £209...
