    A3 S-Line rear springs

    I struggled to find a part number for the rear springs on my 8V 2014 S-Line that has S-Line suspension fitted. Putting in my registration number on the usual sites (Autodoc, Euro Car Parts, etc.) only referred to "with or without sports suspension", so presumably Sports and SE, no mention of...

    Coil pack rubber boot torn

    I changed my spark plugs during the service of my 1.4 tfsi this weekend and ended up tearing the top off the rubber boot that connects to the Coil Pack.

As the plug was wound undone the socket started to bind in...

    Retrofit puddle lights & door warning lights to 8V - help please.

    Is it possible to stop the MMI screen opening?

    As the title says; If I want to use my car without the MMI screen constantly raising and lowering each time I get in/out of the car, can it be disabled so I choose when it opens? Often on an ordinary journey I'll just listen to the radio. I understand that if I select reverse it'll rise to...
