I know I haven't posted on here for ages so most of you won't recognise me (used to go by the name of steveb). Sold my A3 sportback 2.0 TDi last weekend. Picked up new Mazda MX5 2.0 sport yesterday - Yahoo! A3 was great well made sensible car - with many well made sensible features - but...

Lacquer on front bumper of my 54 plate sportback is flaking off - cool feature huh? Will take it into dealer next week - wonder what the respnse will be - anyone else had similar duff paint problem???

Don't understand anything about suspension at all - but would like to improve look of my SB sport - without making it look like a chav-mobile. Can anyone tell me the effects of replacing springs to lower by 30mm or so?? Any recommended places to get this done in south east england (essex...

How's this for service - booked car in 3 weeks prior to appointment to check out non-existent Bose "audio-pilot" (volume never changes). Phoned them at 8.00am to check my courtesy car was available. Yep - no problems. "OK" said I - see you in about half an hour. Arrived at 8.30 am (meant I'd...

I bought one of the first S/Backs in production - ordered early October 04, delivered December 20th. The car's a decent spec - (ebony black sport, alcantara, ali rails, rear park sensors, bose, 6 player, light pack, f arm rest, luggage pack, 17" star alloys - forget the rest) but the S line...

johnmv55 - I take it all back - you're dead right - they've changed the design of the door seals on the new 3 door - have you got new design on your car? If so any rattles???

The only thing I can find out about Phantom black is that it don't exist - on the Audi uk site anyway. Can anyone tell me the difference beween Phantom black & Ebony black?? Does it make your car disappear or something - just out of interest???

For all those suffering from rattly window syndrome, I can now announce that after exhaustive tests in the steve b laboratories I have the cure - sort of. BMW product "Gummipflege" applied to the groove in the top of the seal running around the door will eradicate the "rattle which disappears...

Hi Slug - (hey - catchy name!) - The bad news: if you look at my recent posts you'll see that I've taken the car backwards & forwards to the dealers (who've been really good) but with little success. They've replaced everything there is to replace - but the rattle keeps coming back. There's no...

Thought all affected parties might be interested in latest rattly window update (I'm thinking of forming a seperate special interest group "The rattle club" - cool snake logo - t-shirts & badges etc). Sure enough passenger side window has started to rattle along with the return of the drivers...

I know this has been covered a hundred times before but...does anyone know if it's possible to connect an ipod or mini ipod to a Concert ii (with Bose)??? I got a 6 changer in the glove box - How easy - how tidy etc??? Cheers

Well plan C went well - (not) - my rattly window appears to be a rarity. Guess that's good news 'cos on that basis it must be easily fixed. Except it's not and it hasn't. I've read a good many complaints on this site about the same problem - all those folk must be occupied elsewhere I guess...

Having had a rattly front drivers window since the car was new - and having taken it back to dealers 3 times - I am now in the position of either a) giving up and living with it, b) giving up and selling it (it drives me ****** bonkers) or c) trying one last wheeze. That is writing to Kevin...

New s/b developed a discreet but audible rattle in drivers door window (top). Sounds like glass flexing in ruuber surround. Tried silicone, no joy - any success stories???

Cupla things - made a post over Christmas about a "whistle" from the engine on new 2.0tdi S/back. Only got 2 or 3 replies so I'll try again. Most noticable at low revs in low gears - any other reports of this? It was suggested that it could be the turbo - but I'm not convinced. The noise...

Just popped into local bmw dealership, drew up alongside bmw 1 series to compare. 1 series, for all its accolades, looks like a horse designed by a commitee (a camel). Outside - the convex sweep of the door line makes it look "pregnant". Rear end, like a bashed in Astra. Inside - at best boring...

Some seasonal pix - bored on boxing day...

I've had an irritating squeak on the front suspension of my a4 sport since new (June 03). The first dealer told me to "think of it as a feature not a fault". The second told me that a4's are prone to noisy arms and replaced the front lower suspension arm - made no difference. Is this just my...
