    Does anyone know how to remove the 2 retaining clips at the bottom of front wheel arch liner? These are positioned at the rear and appear to go into the sill. Thanks in advance.

    Enable rear DRL on MY10 S3

    Does anyone have a MY10 S3 or later with rear DRLs enabled? If so can you please post your long coding from your central electronics unit? Byte 18 contains the headlight info, I know a MY10 TT can have rear DRLs enabled by changing the UK default of hex 58 to hex 59. This is my current coding...

    Sportback rear window switches

    Hi guys, Can anyone with a sportback confirm if the small lock buttons next to the rear window switches on the drivers door just disable/enable the rear window switches? I've recently had an A6 loan car and the same lock buttons also disabled/enabled the child locks as well as the windows...

    Through load option

    Does anyone have a picture of the through load option? I'm interested in the armrest, the brochure says it has a cup holder, so is this a pop out affair or does the lid lift up? TIA

    Would anyone with mag ride be able to tell me where the switch is? I guess it's under the radio/nav next to the ESP switch. A pic would be nice too!

    Phone kit questions

    Just wondering if anyone has looked into the phone kit options now offered by Audi? I'm just looking at phone prep options in 2010 cars. Audi now do a phone prep bluetooth only option PR 9ZX and I'm wondering if this uses the same module under the seat as the phone prep low PR 9ZU. Here's the...

    S3 service question

    OK gurus. Here's a servicing question for you. My current S3 is on variable servicing and I'm only seeing about 10K between services. I don't drive around like a maniac either, mainly motorways. So I pay £200-250 per service per year. If I was to buy a new one and have it set to fixed, I would...

    S4 additional maintenance

    Hi guys, I'm still looking at S4's, still not found the right one yet... Just a quick question for you all. At what mileage do these engines require additional work? eg belts, chains, etc... Also what would be considered high mileage for the V8? TIA

    Real world S4 fuel economy

    I've been tempted, or should I say very tempted, by an S4 avant. My only concern is fuel economy (well that and the neighbours will say when they hear it!), my heart says buy it, but my brain says that a 4.2 is going to be thirsty. Would any owners past or present care to share their average...

    Converting symphony II antenna system use with RNSe

    This should be of interest to those of you with 07 and later cars with the newer style headunits, especially if you have since fitted an RNSe and got the "ZF short to Earth" issue in VCDS not to mention degraded radio reception. If you've been following my threads on Navplus (Audiforums.us)...

    MK 2 TT quattro brake adaptation map

    As the thread title really, can anyone post an adaptation map for their ABS controller, address 03 in VCDS. Just interested to see if the 8P S3 can have both the ESP and traction turned off like you can in a TT (with a long press of the ESP button) Thanks in advance.

    Xenon Motor

    Hi guys, Found this little fella whilst routing around in the garage today. It's a xenon headlamp adjustment motor which I bought for my 2001 facelift S3, part number 8L0 941 295B. As I now drive an 8P S3 it's not much use to me or the shelf in the garage where it's been "living" for just over...
