    Advice on the Concert models

    I have been reading up and getting guidance on what I can do about the Concert I have fitted in my 2010 A5 coupe. It is FM/CD/SD card only - no DAB, no AMI. I see that there are a number of models of Concert floating around with identical appearances e.g...

    A5 coupe 2010 License plate LEDs

    Trups - do you have a festoon bulb replacement for the license plate lights on the above car. Ones that will survive the CANBUS ? I made the mistake of ordering genuine Audi LED license plate lights, but found they are a different fitting to mine (screw rather than clip). Thanks Michael

    Roof rails - fitting or bonding ?

    I would like to add roof rails to my 8P Fastback 2005. I have managed to get a set. Has anyone had experience of fitting them using bonding rather than taking the roof lining out to screw them on. I don't intend to use them to carry goods, just from the point of view of appearance - although...

    A3 8P 5dr 2.0 FSi - is this normal ?

    I have recently purchased an A3 8P 5dr 2.0 SE FSi tiptronic 2005. It replaced a 2006 1.6 SE manual. I have noticed a strange characteristic when accelerating - when I go through 25-35mph I get a weird sensation as though the engine or gear box is wobbling side to side. This disappears again...

    A guy I found off Ebay came and fitted an OEM bluetooth to my A3. The car is fitted with the old style Satnav (BNS ?) which has the disc mounted in the boot and controls down by the handbrake. Before fitting, the Satnav was working - but now it isn't. I know that the guy took the pins out of...

    Bluetooth question

    I have just purchased a 2005 2.0 FSI Tiptronic SE with a load of optional extras including MFSW and the old BNS sat nav.
