The car has 24,000kms on it. It was serviced at 16,000kms (about 10K miles) last april. When I bought the car the dealer told me to service every 16,000 kms (10000 miles) or once per year, which I did. I don't think they bothered to reset the indicator though. Although if I was to heed the...

Hi all - quick question, is it possible to reset the DIS service indicator without resorting to visiting the dealer. Mine is popping up on startup "Service in 1000 kms...", even though I know its not due a service for another 7 or 8 thousand. Would like to avoid trip to dealers if possible...

Yeah, I'm one of those with this problem. I've found that wiping the felt seals around the groove where the window closes with a damp cloth and washing up liquid fixes it for a few days - before I have to do it again! Seems to get especially worse after rain. For the same reasons as you, I'm...

Thanks a million Dave, much appreciated. Looks a lot more complicated than I thought, it seems I'd have to take the rear seat out too - yikes! Think I might just learn to live with it, I'm not the handiest with a screwdriver...

Hi all, Haven't posted here for ages, still lurking though. I've a really annoying rattle/creak for a good while now, which I'm almost certain is coming from behind the rear interior driver side panel or card (where the speaker is). Has anybody ever attempted to remove these interior panels? Its...

LOL at Lon I walked straight into that one! Anyway, I spoke too soon, went out at lunchtime, and its rattling again. Back to square one

cdb2, I'm pretty sure the problem is with the rubber in the window groove, not the seals on the door frame itself. I sprayed some silicone spray on them, which didn't make any difference, but when I stuck my finger well into the groove along the top of the window frame with some vaseline, that...

I've had this rattly electric window problem too for the last week or so. I tried some silicone spray and that didn't help much. So this evening I smeared some vaseline right into the window grove, particularly at the top corner - hey presto, this seems to have worked! So obviously, its the...

I asked the same question several months ago, and yes, its supposed to be like that - because that upper section also has to display orange for low fuel, oil-level, etc.. warnings.

Bowfer, Steveb, I think I have that same centre console rattle also. I also get it at around the 2200 rpm mark, and I only really notice it at slower speeds, say in 2nd/3rd gear. I wouldn't really describe it as a rattle either, more like a large bumble bee stuck behind the dash! The resonance...

Got the problem sorted out at long last. They have replaced the seat back of the seat, and from my short drive back from the dealers, it seems to have solved the problem, whatever it was. I was a bit worried when the Tech guy explained how they replace the seat back rest, which actually involves...

I've left my car into the dealer today, the guy I showed it too agreed there was a problem alright. Hopefully will be sorted. They gave me a base-spec '04 A3 for the day, which seems to have had a hard life so far - lots of scratches! Also, cannot believe how grim the interior of the basic spec...

no.... Its definitely not anything I'm wearing myself. I feel it higher up in the seat than that anyway - about mid-way up my back. Definitely feels like something has come loose inside the seat itself.

Hi guys, Over the last week or so, I've noticed a strange "lumpy" feeling in my driver's seat back. It's very hard to describe exactly what it is, but it is most noticeable when pulling away in traffic, for example - i.e. when my weight is pushed back into it. The seat back feels like there is...

On a related subject, has anyone ever used one of those car covers for your car - the likes of which you can buy in Argos for not very much? I'll be off on my holliers in a couple of weeks, my car will be left standing in the drive while I'm gone at the mercy of the birds! Maybe one of these...

Steve, I've noticed exactly the same problem. I posted here a few weeks ago with a similar issue, where some flowers off a cherry blossom tree left a few marks on my roof and bonnet. And bird left a mark a few days later!! Like you, I washed the crap off asap, but it was too late obviously. I...

Thanks for that, it puts my mind at rest! Its just I never noticed it being there before! It just didn't seem "right" looking, especially when I went into the SET mode like in the pic above and there was an obvious divide between SET and CHECK....

Hi guys, me again with another problem (I think...)! The other night, while stuck at the lights, I played around with the DIS using the buttons on the wiper stalk, and managed to get the "next Service Due" information displayed. However, when the display went back to normal default mode, I...

Just to update, I tried Meguairs ScratchX over the weekend, and that seems to have helped a lot. Many of the marks are now virtually invisible, a couple of others are still there - but still only really visible if you are looking for them in direct sunlight! So I had satisfied myself that I...

Thanks for the feedback guys, LeMan, I read about your misfortunes in your previous posts - sounds like you have a much more serious problem. Hope you get it sorted. Yeah, I reckon its the laquer thats slightly damaged alright. Surely a few cherry blossom flowers could not do that much damage...
