quattro all the way, I have had 2 FWD A4's and have a A3 Quattro 170 it is by far the best in all conditions and off the line it is excellent. Even my friend who has a type R knows he has no chance against a 170 quattro in all but the driest of roads. In snow it is simply amazing compared to...

I have a 170 PD A3 and i am only getting 36 -40 on long runs as standard so over 50 modified is just not possible. The first big mod on the 170 is to remove the stupid DPF but no DPF removal kit is made for the 4wd A3, you have to take the risk of taking the DPF out and open it then empty it...

If you drive like an old granny you will have dpf problems, but if you drive like my wife does then you will not! The one thing that makes dpf removal difficult is quattro, I do not believe that anyone makes the pipe for them, so you have to do a lot of dismantleing of the extra transmission to...

Hi all Last month my Audi 2006/56 a3 170 Dpf started to cut power at 2000rpm come back on power but was totally lumpy up to 4000rpm. I took it to my local Audi dealer and they wanted £290 to change the exhaust gas temp sensor!!! After picking myself up from the floor I spoke to my dad who is...

Hi all my 2006 A3 170 Quattro has done about 29k miles and the yellow engine management light has come one, my wife took it up to our VW/Audi specialist and he checked it over with his computer. He said it was A EGR issue and reset the light advising us to call back if it came back on again. 5...

Hi all I have 4 Perelli P-Zero Neros fitted to my A3 170 Quattro but after 6500 miles the fronts are down to 3mm!! I love these tyres they grip like s***t and are amazing in the wet But 6.5K does not seem much of a life. are there any better options?

they look good and origonal, i wonder how long it will be before some one does this then sells it as a 170???

hi Morzy I am having a bit of a similar incident at the moment myself!!! Last september i was driving up a single lane road when i went round a blind bend and cliped wing mirrors at 15mph. I was in my 98 discovery and the woman was in a Saysang rodius it was neither of our faults BUT...

I had reps on my A4 and after 1 year the needed to be referbished as the coroded really badly, Also stay away from the budget tyres offered to keep the price down they are terrible!

PaulAr - not to good!! had a bitter taste to it!!! Ian i know the guy you are talking about, i got him shot blast some powder coating of my oversized Discovery springs! I will give him a call. will i have seen you about in Perth? I have just remembered there is a stand at my work for a...

well anoyed with myself, I went to buy a sandwich at lunch time and ran my S-line 18" wheel along a curb sratching it badly!! luckily my tyre is not damaged!! There are a few mobile wheel repaires around perth including wicked wheels are these mobile companies any good?

I have 3 new P-zero Rosso's I managed to get in the deal when buying the car and one really crap tyre that must have been put on to trade the car in. I think the noise level of the zeros is really low as the crap tyre makes some noise at 80mph - time to order 1 more p-zero!!

40-50 in a 170 quattro!! i must get mine into the dealer more like 30-40!! since i got it i have averaged 31.3mpg with a 50/50 split of town out of town driving i plan to drive from Perth to inverness on Friday so will work out that MPG but i bet it is closer to 35 than 45! unless you buy...

strange lots of people saying the golf is better so why do all of you not have one then? my Personal opinion is becuase the look boring even in GTI form! (Excluding R32). Give me an S-line any day! I love my 170TDI Quattro S-line 4th/5th/6th give great acceleration without screwing the...

I read about this on the honest john website i am sure it mentioned radiator leeks in line with the head failing... worth a look. http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/index.htm?md=545 but does not mention if this is the TDi or petrol or both!! Does anyone know if at some point Audi fixed...

i can only compare the 130 against the 170 as i have had both (curently have 170 Quattro S-line) I find the midrange/toprange of the 170 is so much better than the 130. I belive the 170 is 2 seconds faster to 60 at 7.9 and 5 seconds faster to 100 than the 140. The in gear acceleration in...

it is possible that it was not a 1.2, but everyone can be caught out just look at youtube your bound to find Ferrari's being beaten off the line by a little Fiat. you should not have much turbo lag if my 170 is over 1500RPM it pulls really well i would get it checked out, you could get an Audi...

Land Rover did this big time, they took the V8 from 3.5 to 3.9 and this was ok then to 4.0 and again to 4.6 the last two engines had so many problems with cracking between bores and water jackets. The French are into Displacement Increasing as they are not aloud to modify there engines so...

Hi i drive my 170tdi quattro A3 around 80 miles a week 40 in town and 40 on back roads if i visit my parents. this type of driving averages around 32mpg per tank, not that good! if i go for a long drive i get 40+. Not sure if this a down side to the 170 or if the 140's are like these as well.

Yup Quattro for life. I just could not go back to a RWD or FWD again.
