Hi, guys. I've recently changed my battery in my 2012 A3 TDi Black Edition S/S (so needs an AGM battery) from the current Varta 68ah battery to a 70ah Varta Silver dynamic, AGM, E39, etc. The original battery had been in there since manufacture & i was experiencing sluggish starts so i changed...

Has anyone had any experience with Hella accelerator pedals? They are considerably cheaper than O.E.M. but i'm not sure of the quality. I did think that maybe they made them for V.A.G & then V.A.G. just stuck their sticker on it, upped the price & called it O.E.M. A bit like a recent experience...

Does anyone know what that flap/visor is for, that is located just in front of the interior light unit above the rear view mirror on the Audi A3, 8P?

Hey. Can any of you knowledgeable fellows advise me whether it’s best to leave the window up, down or 1/2 way between when removing the window frame from the drivers side door in a 2012 A3 Black Edition. It seems pretty straight forward but I’m not sure what’s best to do with the glass. I’m...

Does anyone have a suggestion for a simple speaker upgrade with as little modification as possible? Front door mid replacements & tweeter replacements. Is it possible to just replace the speakers & use the existing wiring loom (speaker adaptors & new wire connectors of course)? If so, any...

I've read on various forums regarding the issues with Bose Audiopilot but there's no definitive way of disabling it. There's the Audi Tech. Serv. Bullet. fix where you bridge 2 pins on the Bose amp. with a wire but the TSB was for the A4, A6, etc. but not for my vehicle which is a 2012 A3 TDi...

Hi, all! I've snapped the rubber tether on my fuel cap & rather than spending over £15 on a 2nd hand fuel cap (cheapskate i know!) I was hoping i could source a replacement, especially when all it takes to remove the tether is to push out the 2 pins on the cap end of the rubber tether. I've...

I'm experiencing an issue with my 2004 Audi A3 key fob. It is intermittently unlocking the doors. If I hold it directly above the bonnet inbetween the wiperblades it works every time so I assumed it was the battery but a new battery has not changed the issue. 99% sure it's the internal circuit...
