Hey guys, Did a search but didn't find much. I have an a3 which I track 5-6 times a year, the stock pads are almost gone and I'm looking to replace them with carbone Lorraine rc5+. Does anyone have experience with this pad or got recommendations? The CL rep told me he didn't know what...

Hello all, Had my car remapped about a month ago so am considering an intake now as well. Trying to decide between the VWR600 and the APR Carbon intake, what are people's opinions of each? I've done a quick search on YouTube and can only find 1 video of what it'll sound like so if there are any...

Hi all, With Christmas coming up and the car having done over 20k miles, I am thinking of a remap. Currently looking at APR (£420) and Revo (£500). In terms of performance figures they are quite similar, has anyone remapped theirs or has thoughts on the two companies in general? Also...

Hi all, I will be leaving the car (A3) for 3 months or so in summer, what is the best way to maintain battery health? I tried unplugging the negative terminal last time but the alarm went off, so this time round I am considering either a ctek or finding out how to disconnect it without...

Hi All, Am looking into putting some new alloys on my A3, anyone know if these will fit? They are a different offset than the stock ones, which I believe is ET51. Here's the link: http://www.rimstyle.com/alloywheels/wheel/?wheel=3sdm_001_mb Would also be good if anyone who has these on can...

Hi all, Am looking to get my alloys in for a minor touch up but don't really want to be driving around in the space saving spare wheel. Anyone know if any full size 5x112 spare on ebay etc will work or will it have to be a specific one? It's a quattro if that makes any difference. Thanks in...

Hi all, It's my birthday next month and I plan on heading over to Nurburgring as I'll be in Belgium that weekend. I have a 1.8 quattro and was just wondering if the brakes and everything will last 4 laps? I'll have two passengers with me and plan on driving at a relatively rapid pace ;) Any...

Hi all, As the title suggests I need to top up my engine oil-the dipstick showed around 1/3 full, which according to manual can be topped up. The dealer didn't give me a can to top up with and charges 15 quid for 1L so I'm just going to do it myself, is this the correct/best oil to use and will...

Hi all, I have a 1.8 quattro and I'm now 300 miles in and averaging 29mpg, does this sound about right? How many miles does it require to achieve 'normal' mpg figures?

Hi all, How do you get the car to go again after its stopped when acc is active? Is this even possible? Thanks Ryan

Hi all, Just been offered gap for 3 years by the dealer for £400, did all of you get it? Sounds like a good deal to me but just wanted more input Cheers

Hi all, So my a3 was originally scheduled to be delivered in March but a few days ago I was informed out of the blue that it'll be ready for collection on Monday. Thing is I need some time to get the funds ready and was told by the salesman that the car would just be parked outdoors exposed...

Hi all, I placed my order for a 1.8 quattro petrol a few months ago as I thought diesels were a bit boring and not as 'explosive' as petrol cars. The past week I drove a diesel and was quite impressed by its torque and fuel economy. I checked the prices and the difference between the 2.0 TDI...

Hi all, A few questions for the A3 (1.8 quattro): 1. Are the stock Continentals good? (Grip is my priority here) When I test drove they were quite noisy. I did some research and have had Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 (will this work in winter as well cause it seems to be a summer tyre) pop...

Hi all, Just ordered my A3 1.8 SB. What sort of delivery miles is everyone getting? Should I be expecting something around 50 or? And one other thing- has anyone been been able to get the dealership to deliver with a full tank of gas? Have a good weekend!

Hi All, This is the (nearly final) spec of the 1.8 I'll be ordering this weekend. Please take a look and see if there's anything I'm missing/don't need. Thanks in advance! P.S One question for the typre pressure monitor- does it tell you the PSI or does it only come on when there's a puncture...

I'm currently finalising my spec and was just wondering if the 400 pound sat nav is worth it? I'll be doing some road trips to Europe but I already have a Garmin Nuvi.. Those of you who specced it, what are your thoughts?

Hi all, I'm looking to order a 1.8 quattro and was wondering since its not full time all wheel drive, when does quattro kick in? And do you actually know what it does (I.e indicated on dashboard or something) Thanks in advance!
