hey guys, It's been a while since I've been on here, had a few years driving a REALLY boring diesel, but now I've got a lovely 65 plate S3, and it's a beast!! But, over the last week or so it's developed a really nasty smell inside, I can only describe it as the smell of mouldy/rotten food...

Hi guys, Its been a while since ive been on the forum. I am just about to order another A3, a sportback this time. My question is... what are the rumours regarding a new model? Is it imminent? Do we know when a new model will be release? should I wait? Thanks in advance everyone! joel

hi all, Is it just me or are the facelift rear lights rubbish when reversing at night? I find it really dark, almost as though my reverse lights aren't working at all!! I've checked them out and only one side has a light, is this normal? And would it be possible to get both sides working...

Hi All, I have been looking recently at fitting a rear view camera. I know that the A3 doesn't need one but it just looks cool!!! Anyway, technically it seems pretty straight forward, especially now that the reverse signal is carried over CAN, but.. Where the hell to mount it without it...

Hi all, I just had to share the news! About 2 weeks ago my 57 plate SLine A3 was written of by somebody veering onto my side of the road and causing a 50 MPH head on collision!!! As a testament to the A3 I only suffered some bruises, a bashed knee and some whiplash, but the car was a...

Hi All, Im due to take delivery of my new S-Line A3 in a few weeks!!! Woohooo!!! One of the first things that I plan to do is retrofit an RNS-e and maybe bluetooth module, but there is no way Im gonna pay Audi over 2k for the privelidge!! If I was to retrofit, or even get a suitable...

Hi guys, after my 51 reg 1.9 tdi started to hesitate and lose power when cruising everyone suggested to change the MAF sensor. Well, yesterday I did this and instantly the performance was back, brilliant, it was smooth again and the MPG even increased a little. But, after about 1 hour the car...

Hi guys, my TDi has developed a bit of a problem, it doesn't happen all of the time, but quite often when cruising at about 80ish the power seems to fluctuate, loosing and gaining power. It feels like im driving through a big puddle! for a second or so and then fine again. Any ideas what this...

Hi all!! My A3 TDI (51 reg) is coming up to a service in a couple of thousand miles (about 3 weeks at this rate!!!) The cam belt was changed by Audi just before I got the car at 58,000. The mileage now is about 72,000 and i was just wonderin if any of you lovely people could shed any light on...

Ive got a creaking noise coming from my rear drivers side suspension, going over some speed bumps, and up driveways etc it'll creak as the suspension 'flexes' just wondering if anybody had any ideas as to what it could be, and should I be worrying about it? I haven't had the car long and was...

Just got ma a PDA with Tomtom on. Works great, i'll never get lost again. What i was wondering though, is it possible to wire the audio outs from the PDA (Standard 3mm mini jack) to the Nav in on my chorus HU? On the back of the HU there is a Nav +, NF-, Tel + and another NF- as well as a...

Hi guys, How many MPG are you guys getting on your A/S3's. Ive got a '99 A3 1.8T Quattro, and am only getting 24ish. This seems a bit low eventhough I don't really do that much motorway driving. When I do get a lot of motorway miles in it only really goes up to about 27-28. Is this right? Cheers...

had a little knock the other day, cracked the number plate and the front grille It seems that to replace the grille the front bumper needs to be removed but i cant really see how to remove it, aybody know the correct way to remove it so that i can also check for any other damage underneath? cheers

My '99 A3 quattro is making that famous dump valve flutter sound. is this likely to affect my MPG at all? as it seems to be a bit low, (22-25 MPG), even when im doing plenty of motorway miles. any opinions would be greatly appreciated guys thanks
