Had a quote for refurbing my 18" alloys few months back - looked a bit expensive. Had an email this week that they are touting for work pre-xmas at a discounted rate (£250 inc VAT) for a drive in service . Full strip, blast, dip, powder coat and lacquer. I know that everyone talks a good job but...

Hi Guys i sold my b7 cab a couple of years ago and bought an S3 which was nice but I missed the A4. I picked up a beaut today... 58 plate S line in Dolphin again. It has nav and Bose and had covered only 27k - very pleased with it. The only thing that I can fault is that the drivers side sill...

Got the oil level ight on at the weekend and a oil service due in 2 weeks warning so I topped it up with Castrol Edge 0-30 and wondered whether it would extend the service interval. Well it didn't so i called Stoke Audi to check the cost before booking it in. They wanted £190 to change the oil...

Nigel visited upon me today and hooked me up with a very nice 2011 RNS-E, new aerial gubbins and SDS high. Cost a good few quid but a fantastic job I have to say. There was a lot more to the job that I imagined and Nigel's attention to detail is impressive. I can well recommend him to all of you...

Called in to Crewe Audi today. They have a Misano Red RS3 for sale in the showroom (cancelled order) for £41k ish. Its the biz although has the chavvy red rims. They also have a 3 door S3 with DSG and buckets in the showroom for a whopping £36K. Makes the RS look good value

As there is a deal on with Shark til Monday, I can get a Stage 1 (320BHP) for £299; bargain! Checked with Privilege and they want another £220 ish for the remaining 9 months of my policy. The question is.... How much better is the fuel economy if anything? Given that people get 25 MPG ish and...

I was thinking the other day - how crap the leather is on my S3. Its not a patch on the quality of the seats in by previous B7 cab. Every car Ive looked at with black leather has **** cheek indentations in the leather. Pretty poor for a car that costs over £30k

Hi All I'm looking to upgrade to to the latest RNS-E unit with hi-res screen etc. I have searched through the forum but have not found a definitive answer for my car and current spec I currently have a Concert double DIN unit installed with factory iPod dock in the glovebox, an AUX 3.5mm...

Took the S3 for it's first service today at Stoke Audi (discounted price courtesy of Dave). Got the obliigatory call to say what needed to be done extra - a couple of tyres! I declined and said I would take care of it assuming that they would be stupid prices. When I collected the car, the...

Sad to see my beloved Cab go this week. Put it on Autotrader on Saturday evening and sold to the second viewer at very near the asking price within a day. Just happened to be blistering weather on the day which really helped. I have a sneaking suspicion that I will be returning to a cab of some...

Hi Just picked up my new Purchase today - 2010 S3 Sportback S-Tronic in Ibis white. Aquainted myself with it on a 200+ mile drive home and so far very impressed. The guy left me half a tank's worth in it so managed 230 miles an there is still a bit left. Looking forward to a more spirited drive...

Had a small bump a couple of weeks ago on my B7 S Line Cab and went into bodyshop last week. When I picked the car up (new bumper and grille) the bodyshop had fitted a gloss black grille instead of the original anthracite one. It looks ok but does not look original. When I quizzed them, they...

Hi I finally managed to get round to replacing my mirror glasses (having not been able to see behind me for a week) The wiring was indeed already there and it was a simple case of plugging in the new heated glasses. They work in conjunction with the HRW. Result! Cost nearly £80 from the stealer...

Hi I took delivery of my 2.0TDi S-line Cab on March 1st. It's a 57 plate (November 2007) car with 6k on the clock. It is a lovely car with great spec BUT.... The roof has jammed twice in the halfway up position requiring me to help it out manually. A couple of days ago the sun was out so I took...

Hi All Just got a 57 plate 2.0TDi cab at the weekend. It has under 6k on the clock having been registered in Dec 2007. The service book shows it as being on the longlife service schedule. The service indicator says it will need a service in 5300 miles or 322 days. This would put it at 11k miles...

Hi all Have been looking at the forums for while to help me choose which car to buy. I must say, the info has been a great help! Just picked up my car from Sheffield Audi - a 57 plate A4 S-line Cabriolet 2.0TDi, manual with DVD nav and phone prep. It's in dolphin grey with black nappa leather...
