Thanks. I was told that an entire DSG gearbox is £5,000 and a turbo probably a lot too. I guess there is also the DPF filter to replace at some point too. I know someone who has a Golf, and the turbo broke, created an oil leak and broke most of the engine at the same time. The engine had to be...

Hi, I currently own, as a private car, an Audi A3 2.0 TDI S-tronic. I bought it 4.5 years ago (new), and it has around 40,000 miles. The car is in perfect condition, and had all services done by Audi. However, I am wondering if there are some risks in keeping that car longer, given the turbo...

No I didn't get a quote, as the shop didn't look that professional from the outside. I decided to get my car done by F.b. coachworks in Molesey (Kingston upon Thames borough). They ended up charging less than the original quote, and work done is really good (can't really see any evidences of...

Oh well. I drove today to the Isleworth branch, and it's no longer the same company, and seems to be an independent body shop now. I guess their website is not really up-to-date.

Thank you, I will go visit Fix Auto tomorrow for a quote. It's also nice to get some idea of costing, as your damage sounds a lot more than mine.

I think it's quite normal: you have a clean car and want it to stay that way. I have the perfect tool for you: Bissell Little Green Multi-Purpose Compact Earth-Friendly Deep Cleaner: Amazon.co.uk: Kitchen & Home

Well, I have been around a few body shops in the Twickenham/Hampton/Kingston area. As the plastic bumper hit the metal beam, it has to be removed and fixed, so not a job for a mobile repairer anymore. Was quoted quite different prices (incl. VAT) for removing the rear bumper, fixing it and...

thanks, but none near me. I am located in Twickenham, Greater London.

Anyone??

Thanks. Do you know roughly what would be the cost for a new cambelt and the S-tronic oil change? Basically, I am saving about £100 per month keeping my car vs. getting a new company car (where I would be liable for none of the expenses, including insurance, service etc), so I need to see if...

Hi, I own privately a A3 2.0 TDI 140bhp S-tronic that is 4 year old and has about 35,000 miles. The car is in perfect condition and has had no issues. It has been serviced twice at Audi (every two years), without any parts to replace. I have replaced the tyres after about 25,000 miles, and...

Hi, I have scratched the rear bumper (about 30cm wide) of my Audi A3 (ice silver), and I am looking for a reputable body shop around Twickenham that could fix it for a reasonable price. I have considered also using some mobile repairers like Chips Away or Revive UK, but online reviews seem to...

Hi, I just got my A3 and took the option of the Ipod installation in the glove compartment. The user manual states that all ipods released after 2003 should be supported. I have an ipod mini (released in 2005), and I don't know which plastic adapter to use (none appear to fit), since the mini...

Initially, I was told mine would take longer to be built due to shortage of S-tronic gearboxes. Delivery was supposed to be mid-December, for a car ordered early July. However, I have heard a few people also with manual gearbox (like yourself) receiving their cars much earlier than planned...

Hi, I am sure I didn't order the hill hold assist option (was not even on the list), and I got it, so maybe it's because of the S-tronic gearbox. This would be however strange, since cars tend to creep with DSG/S-tronic, and therefore don't tend to roll back much at all. I think it is a more...

Hi, I think you are right, as it is a 8 channel system according to the user manual. However, where I park my car, there is a small wall 20-25cm tall, and the front of the car just go over it by a few millimeters. This is not detected by the front-sensors. Maybe just a setting issue. Also, I...

My 05 reg car had: * Comp 1 (without mileage): average speed, average consumption, miles to go/range, time of journey, instant consumption * Comp 2: same as comp 1 * Set speed warning, units, clock * Check: service, chassis number The new car has: * Comp 1 and 2 with mileage done, average...

Hi, I just got delivery of my new A3 2.0 TDI 140 sport, with S-tronic, in ice silver colour. Car was ordered in July, and delivery was expected for mid-December. However, two weeks ago, I was told the car had been built, and last week that the car was being shipped to the UK. I was expecting...

Anybody else who has ordered a car recently (face lift) and could share expected delivery time?

Well, mine always had a delay in some gear (often reported with the diesel TDI engine and DSG), and when I tried more recent versions (6 months old cars), this was not the case. Therefore, I think they have improved something, or maybe just tuned better the DSG system for diesel engines.
