    Noisy Front Suspension

    So pleased I found this tread (and the one linked to by veeeight) above. I've had this problem for ages, graunching describes the sound perfectly, intermittent, but there is one particular speed table on a slight gradient on our street where the noise is most noticeable. I reported it at the...

    apple lightning Audi cable.

    Planning on picking up a new lightning AMI cable from my local Audi Centre this week for a new iPhone 6. Am I right in thinking I should be specifying the cable with yellow collar? Not worried about video, just playing audio from the phone and charging (cover art would be a bonus, but not...

    Winter wheels and tyres

    My understanding is that using a wheel with a 6J width (combined with a 205 tyre) will allow the snow chains to wrap to the rear of the tyre/wheel without coming into contact with the suspension components.

    The 'Show Notifications' toggle switch is greyed out for Mercedes, but just not there for the Audi. All the other options are there, i.e favourites, sync contacts etc., just not the 'Show Notifications'.

    Thanks Phil Just checked and I don't have that option for my A3 pairing, although it is there (toggled to off) for the wife's Mercedes.

    Winter wheels and tyres

    The door sticker should list all the compatible wheel/tyre configurations. I know mine does and it includes Mud and Snow tyres (M&S). I'm sure there will be OEM Steel wheels available for the 8V. Whereas all UK A3 models have alloys as standard, in some markets the base model A3s feature hub...

    6hrs of Hard Graft!

    Can I ask if you used 303 on the front grille and if so how did you apply it (spray/foam applicator/microfibre cloth)? Wanting to give my A3 grille a freshen up but unsure of the best (and least time consuming!) way to go about it.
