Recently bought my second A3 1.8t after a gap of about 7 years - the first one was in that bright green colour, there weren't many in that colour - closest I've seen to it is the new Scirocco.
Anyway just bought a black Y reg and the shocks need replacing - the quick question is......how easy is it to change them? Are we looking at a straightforward job on the back of about an hour and perhaps 2 to 3 hours for the fronts?
Second question is............occasionally after starting the engine after it's stood overnight it chugs - presses of the accelerator do nothing - after about 30 seconds it clears and then it's fine. After a good run - maybe 15 or so miles on dual carriageway/motorway when you stop at a roundabout/traffic lights etc it occasionally stalls. In addition, at idle it is a bit "lumpy" but not all the time. If anyone has any ideas what this that would be great.
It could be an expensive month as it's MOT is due later this month!
Cheers
