    2nd set of Alloys for Winter tyres

    I've managed to source some inexpensive but very decent winter tyres for my 8V S-line. They are the same tyre size as the all weather tyres fitted by the factory (225/40 18). I am considering buying a second set of alloys (used) to put the tyres on, rather than have to pay £80+ every winter...

    Removing front head rest ?

    I've had my A3 SB for a couple of months now, just wondering if anyone has managed to remove a front seat head rest yet? There are no buttons on the side (like my previous VAG cars) and the bezels on the top of the seat don't squeeze or turn... I have a 7ft flat box to accommodate (2ft wide)...

    7 days to go until the Phantom Black menace arrives!

    Roof bars for Sportback

    Has anyone enquired yet about roof bars for a Sportback (with roof rails fitted)? There's a fair chance I'll need some this year......but I won't buy them if they stand miles off the roof (big gap) when fitted, like some of the other genuine Audi roof bars. I had some on my A6 once and they...

    STOP PRESS: Changing my colour!

    I have an S-Line Sportback on order (build week 18) and I think I'm going to change the colour - from Daytona Grey to Phantom Black. Much as I love Daytona, I've had 4 grey cars in the last 12 years and my current A6 Le Mans is Daytona also. Quite simply, I fancy a change! I was sitting on...

    New Photos of A3 Sportback S-Line in Daytona Grey!

    When I was placing my order recently the one thing I couldn't find anywhere were pictures of a Sportback in Daytona Grey. Plenty of red, white or silver, and the odd black one, but definitely no Daytona! Well.....I eventually found 2 photos of one being tested for a Norwegian car website...

    Placing order this week - help me choose the colour!

    I'll be ordering my 2.0TDI S-Line Sportback this week. I've pretty much decided on the spec, but there's one thing I keep going back to - the colour! I was planning to get Daytona Grey, it's the same colour as my A6 so I know it well, I like it a lot, and it's fairly easy to keep clean. Plus...

    AMI / Ipod Question for new A3 owners

    When I met with Vertigo1 yesterday to try out the B&O sound, we tried to connect my IPod Classic (5th generation, 60GB model) and the AMI didnt work. It simply said 'Unknown device' on the MMI screen. My iPod is formatted by Mac, not Windows - but works perfectly in my A6. According to the...

    New 1.6TDI S-Line Sportback available to order?

    Well, I was about to order my 2.0TDI S-Line Sportback, and noticed that the 1.6TDI is now available as well, and it's also in the Configurator on the website. It's in the new November brochure too: http://www.audi.co.uk/content/dam/audi/production/PDF/PriceAndSpecGuides/a3-new.pdf Any views...

    B&O Sound v Audi Sound system

    I'm trying to finalise my spec for my 2.0TDI S-Line Sportback. One of the things which is adding a fair bit of cost (as you'd expect!) is the B&O Sound system. I'm struggling to decide whether to go for the B&O option, or just the Audi Sound system upgrade (10 speakers). Not sure I need the...

    Rear Centre Armrest ?

    I'm about to order an A3 Sportback as per my other thread. I've noticed that the 'Through Load facility' option has the following description: 'For safely transporting long objects, includes rear centre armrest with cup holders and a storage compartment' Does this mean that you need to order...

    Audi Connect on new A3

    What's the score with Audi Connect on the new A3? It seems to be mentioned on the website, but not in the brochure. If I specify the Technology Pack, is it included? How does it work, I assume there's a subscription to pay? Or does it connect via a smartphone (and if so does it work with an...

    Almost ready to order - finalising spec, views welcome!

    I have now test driven a 2.0 TDI S-Line (3 door) and I'm almost ready to place my order for my Sportback 2.0 TDI S-Line. Colour-wise I'm thinking Daytona Grey. It's the same colour as my A6, and is one of the very best Audi colours in my view. As for the spec, this is what I'm thinking...

    4 Matching tyres on A6 quattro - how crucial is it?

    I've read on a couple of forums now that it is important to have 4 matching tyres with the same tread levels on all four corners with all A6 quattro models, to prevent any wear to the drivetrain. Something to do with it having a Torsen diff, rather than Haldex, apparently. I bought mine...

    Cheap Continental tyres?

    I have been offered 2 brand new Continental Contisport 255/35 ZR19 M3 at a very good price, they are the original contisports, not the version 2 or 3. I think they are intended for the BMW M3, but will fit my A6 Le Mans. I'm very tempted but wondering if I might have an issue if they are not...

    Latest RNS-E manual with SDS - At last!

    I've now got the latest RNS-E manual in my hands that includes both the Telephone section and SDS (the old one found on various websites does not include either). The SDS section is excellent (20 pages) and I'd highly recommend buying one to go with your RNS-E, it really helps you to get the...
