Hey all, long time since I've posted, will keep this as short & succinct as possible. Background: My 3.0TDI S-line Avant Tiptronic is pretty poorly, and I need to weigh up fixing vs replacing. Car has done 112k, has literally every option from factory, owned by me for 7 years and fits my life...

Hey guys, I turned my car on yesterday and after about 3 mins of running on the driveway I noticed smoke coming from under the bonnet. I shut the engine off, opened the bonnet and there was a loud hissing sound coming from somewhere. I managed to pinpoint it to the location circled. I'm unsure...

Hi everyone, I know there are loads of various threads on MMI Map updates, "I'm on this firmware, what do I need" etc. This one's a little different. Basically, having spent hours trying to pick through various threads, numerous downloads of various torrents / MEGA download links, I bit the...

Hi all, Anyone know where I can source a brand new intermediate steering shaft for my car please? EBay and various sites all list used ones, but I'm keen to buy a new one if possible. Thanks, luke

Hi everyone, Very odd thing has just happened - my car won't start. I've just driven an hour down the motorway from Newport to my local doctors, parked up, nipped inside - starts first time, as always. Drive 10 mins to my mates house, come out after 10 mins and my car won't start. It unlocks...

A good day today as I finally got the paperwork through to register the car in my name (and therefore change to my private plates). I've also stealthily mounted my Road Angel up next to the interior mirror, running the cables over the sunglasses holder, along the top of the windscreen, down the...

My what a difference! I removed my old one in about 15 minutes, and you can feel how flimsy it is - you really can twist / bend it in your hands very easily. It also has areas that are clearly designed to flex...no thanks! So I remove the old strut brace, inspect it, laugh, then try and fit...

Very frustrating day today - left Bristol at 5:30pm so I could meet Rob at JR Tuning for 9am in Kent for ECU / Gearbox remaps. Just before Reading my car starts to shudder like crazy at 80mph 2k rpm. Shifting down to 6th the issue goes away. So I pull over and call rob, run the carista...

Hi everyone, So I've changed my wheel from this: To this: However I had to modify the harness, and clearly I'm crap at soldering because none of the buttons, paddles, or horn work. I just want to buy the correct one to fit this wheel - can someone tell me what I need please? Thanks in...

Hi guys, So I've contacted a couple of companies about remap options APR (through RE Performance in Swindon) and Quantum tuning through VW Services in Bedminster, Bristol. I had an email this morning from a Quantum mechanic that I shouldn't have the EGR blanked / mapped out in software, as...

Hi Everyone, Just wanted to introduce myself as I've just bought an A4 3.0TDI Avant (Tiptronic) SLine It's an 09, done 44k with full service history and I had to get a 6 hour train "up north" to collect it! I think it's worth it though as it has a decent spec including: Adaptive Cruise Side...

Hi Everyone, I'm looking to purchase a A3 170 Quattro Sportback (either sport or s-line) in the coming months, but can't find the "perfect" spec car out there, so I'm going to have to seek the closest example and then retrofit the rest. I've taken a look around the forum and read some of the...
