Well picked her up on Monday.....................What a stunning enjoyable car this new A3 is. Missus having a bit of trouble with electric handbrake but a bit more practice and she will have it sussed. One thing bothering me is to much shiny metal especially the front wheels so it's time to...

Will my 8P rubber mats fit my new 8V ??? I know the throttle arrangements differ but it could be trimmed straight if the other 3 mats fit OKish. Are the mat clips the same and using the same centres ?? Cost me enough buying a new motor let alone new mats as well ...

Anybody out there got a link to an 8V owners/operation manual please ?

Been puzzling for a while about chopping the 8P for an 8V as the cost to change was a tad steep ! Anyways called in yesterday to make sure the dog crate goes in and ended up ordering one. Gone for exactly the same spec I had before apart from Brilliant Red opposed to standard White which looks...

The first picture we took after our new best pal arrived at his new home. His name is Smudge Hoy and he's a Cairn Terrier. He's a stunning little intelligent chap and we look forward to many happy years together.

My youngest has just chopped her Corsa 1.2 SXI to us and purchased a red Corsa VXR !! I have to say what a fun little car to drive. Recaro's and dash are nicely finished and i really am impressed with it. Its only downside is a few more squeaks, rattles and clunks than an Audi but Vauxhall have...

Noticed a few light scratches on the bonnet of my 18 month old Ibis A3 during low sun conditions over the last couple of months and its been playing on my mind so i bought some of the Megs paint cleaner, polish and wax. After a quick wash i decided to have a go at the front end as the sun was...

Noticed a few light scratches on the bonnet of my 18 month old Ibis A3 (swirls from cleaning) during low sun conditions recently, so today after a quick wash the sun was pretty low i decided to attack them (bonnet only) Megs Step 1 Paint cleaner (I presume...

Something i have been meaning to get an answer to for a very long time................ But never seemed to get around to it............... Everytime i apply the handbrake and switch off the ignitionon my 9 month old A3...........after a slight pause........i can hear this feint knock, knock...

Rusty hubs on my 3 month old s line A3 and the 7 twin spoke alloys they fit to the s line now are quite see through. So thought of painting the hubs and calipers but not sure what looks best on an Ibis White 3 door s line. My thoughts were :- Hubs and cals = silver Hubs and cals = black...

My 60 plate A3 Sline with a total of 269 miles under its belt is off back to the dealers on Thursday for some attention. Since we picked it up its suffered from a heavy thump from the N/S front suspension every time you hit a slight deviation or grid in the road. Large potholes are horrid...
