    Rear wiper stops off the window

    Hi all, my rear wiper stops just off the window and has started to mark the paintwork. Is it easy to adjust it or is it a pig to do? Do I need a puller to do the job? Thanks in advance

    Hi all, Since I've had my S-Line TDI 170 Quattro in for the injectors replacing following the recall, it has a terrible hesitation when the engine is cold, sometimes to the point where I'm kangarooing around like a learner driver in traffic or there is a random drop in revs while driving for a...

    I've got a strange vibration above 50mph on my 170 Quattro. I had a rear wheel bearing diagnosed as being worn so that was replaced which quietend the vibration down and Audi also diagnosed the n/s rear wheel as being out of shape. The vibration is like a slow pulse which can be felt through...

    Red LED lights in overhead console?

    What are the two LED lights in the overhead console about? They shine down on the gearstick area and light your hand up....... Do they have any other purpose? Other than looking quite cool :)

    S-Line owners, V5 question

    Hi all, as part of my hpi check I had an option to include cover for if the car was a clone. Before I hand over the money for the car I need to call them back to verify the engine code on the block matches what they have on their records. The rac check that I had done doesn't list the engine...

    A3 Quattro rear drive shaft

    Could anyone let me know what is involved to sort out a rear drive shaft leak from the inner joint? Is it just normally a seal that needs replacing? Is it a big job and what costs could be involved both from deal and indy? Thanks

    2.0 TDi known oil leaks?

    I've had an RAC check done on an A3 S-Line TDi 170 Quattro and the engineer said that he suspected two oil leaks on the engine although because of the engine being hard to see because of all the ancillaries he couldn't tell where from. Are there any known leaks that anyone knows about? He seemed...

    Cruise control

    The A3 S-Line that I test drove last week said it had cruise control in the advert but I couldn't work out where it was. Should it be a small stalk under the indicator stalk. If so it didn't have cruise control. Not that fussed if it doesn't - or should I be?!? :D

    A3 2.0 TDI Quattro 170 S-Line test drive

    Went to test drive a 3dr in black yesterday, loads of extras including full unmarked leather, Bose, MFSW, phone dock in armrest, etc. It was a lovely drive and felt planted around fast tight corners. It had a few chips on the bonet and windscreen but other than that looked fantastic. The...
