When I ordered by BE (Mar 09) I spec'd it with, amongst other things, the Open Sky sunroof and the roof bars. I was able to choose the colour of the roof bars, but went for black to keep it matching. Be warned about the sunroof- I, like others with the sunroof, have had problems with the...

Harrelson, there are two types of TPMS system out there. The first is a Gucci one which tells you the exact pressure of each individual tyre. This requires fancy valves and sensors. Unsurprisingly it isn't cheap (hundreds of £ I think). The second one makes use of the already-present ABS...

Update - it works! --------------------- Just a quick update to this thread. After performing the mod I assumed that the system worked as it "bleeped" as per [1] when the button was pressed. However, I did wonder if the system would actually work, or was my bad luck plaguing me further...

Background ---------- Whilst there are very good pages that describe how to do this "mod" (see [1]), they relate specifically to older A3s and LHD models. My car is a 59 plate RHD model and the process differs everso slightly. For what it's worth this is the first "mod" that I've done to...

Thanks for the reply. Any idea what price bracket that'd likely cost (using OEM, but NOT going to my dealership)?

10k from new and my discs look like this: Front Rear I'm guessing that some stones/debris have been stuck on the surfaces of the pads and been pushed against the discs to make them scored. However, there's a ring on the outside edge of both front discs where the pads don't touch...

Concur. The £800 option would, obviously, comprise of a second-hand RNS-e (Ebay?) and the ipod interface. Although I've not tried this, I've read many posts on this forum where people have used successfully fitted e-bay units., so it's not as though you're trying it for the first time. Good...

Sugs, I too shunned the prospect of spending upwards of £1600 for an integral satnav when a tomtom is a tenth of that price. I went for the £120 ipod interface which connects to my (concert + bose) radio. Whilst I think this setup is a complete fleece for the money (aren't most extras?), I...

niffty, I have a concert radio in my 59 BE. I've disconnected the radio several times and taken the battery out. Not once has it asked for the code, which is four digits long and is (a sticker) in the inside cover of the "Audi concert Sound System Operating Manual". If it does ask for the...

Concur. Silver may be easier to touch up after kerbing etc. (an incentive not to kerb them then?!) but what's not to like about these?

The thing you're after looks like this: The exact code for it is in your "Audi Service Schedule" booklet, line no.4. For my car (Brilliant Black) the colour code is LY9B, which ties up with the part number on the back of the pack: So far I've repaired two stone chips with it and it...

Here's some pics of my BE (2.0TDi 170ps). Have had it since Sep 09, done 8k in it and am averaging 54mpg (mostly motorways). Sweet motor.:rockwoot:

NHN, fizz and aristides - thanks for your help and suggestions. I went to Portsmouth Audi today and got the following parts: (wires) 1 x 000-979-131 £1.26 (wires) 2 x 000-979-900-9E £3.32 (housing) 1 x 4D0-971-636-A £2.46 (TPMSvSwitch for my A3)1 x 8P0-927-121-B5PR...

I want to retrofit TPMS on my BE. Although others have described how they did it (http://oooo-a3.blogspot.com/2006/04/tire-pressure-monitoring-system-tpms.html and http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/showthread.php?46482-Tyre-pressure-monitoring) that was a while ago. Has anyone done it recently...

I seem to have been a little unlucky with my BE sportback as it had several faults from new (they're now sorted, though am waiting for the next one to rear its head!). When I took it back to the dealer to demonstrate these faults I mentioned the noise that the boot made when shut. The chief...

shilts, I've got a Black Edition, so it comes with several options as standard: The xenon lights are great, would recommend these. Bose is good too. I was worried the tinted windows would be a bif naff, but they're excellent. I also spec'd - Luggage pack, - Storage pack, - Cruise control...

rickyquicky, I've a Black Edition with said wheels. When I ordered it I was offered the same wheels but without the Titanium finish, i.e. so they looked like "normal" alloys. The salesman recommended this as he said they'd be easier to touch up if (rather than when, I hope) they get scuffed...

I got the LifeShine with my BE. Being niave to the whole car care side of things, it seemed like a good idea to me (I still used a bucket, sponge and washing-up liquid on my old car). When I got the car there was a small sticker in the top of the windscreen that stated "AutoGlym LifeShine". And...

FYI: The emissions from the 140bhp 2.0TDi are 129g/km, whilst for the 170bhp it's 139g/km. This means their car tax categories are D and E respectively. (madly) both categories are subject to the same levy of road-tax (:tocktock:)for 12 months: £120 (see...
