    NEW SPORTBACK 2010 170TDI QUATTRO HELP

    When you set the coming home / leaving home function to on using the DIS, the light that illuminate are the DRL LED's and the front fogs! :-)

    Black Edition

    I had this exact problem with elephant. It's such a long winded model that the poor guys in the call centres who can barely speak English anyway get very very confused. It should be there for definate, but I think sometimes you have to throw the whole S-Line Black Edition TDi etc etc etc into...

    Black Edition

    This is like a BMW as far as im aware. They would unfold automatically at i think 10mph and couldn't be folded over this speed. Stupidly just like the Audi, they also don't fold when you lock the car. Although using a relay there must be some way round this. Managed to do it on a Mondeo a few...

    Black Edition

    Does the phone volume not stay at the selected volume when you alter it during receiving a call? Funny thing with my mirrors is that this afternoon they seem to be working at the same rate! Voodoooo car! One thing I am pee'd off about is the fact it's got to go into Audi on Saturday morning...

    Black Edition

    :hi: I've noticved this on mine too. The drivers is slower, but if you look then you will notice the drivers mirror also folds a lot closer to the side window that the passenger one. I don't know if this is designed this way to give you more access in small parking spaces. Looking from the...

    S3 Aluminum Pedal Part Numbers

    Hey Guys, I'm after doing this mod to the new car, just wondering if anyone has the part numbers for the S3 RHD Accelerator pedal (manual Gearbox) + the brake and clutch pedal rubbers? Apologies if this has already been covered, I've done a quick search but couldn't find what I was looking...

    Black Edition

    I was told the actual reason for the long lead times is due to the build slots that audi apply for each August. Last August being the middle of the recession Audi underestimated the demand and therefore only applied for a lower number of build slots. Sensible - trying to save money and reduce...

    Black Edition

    Hey Guys, After nearly 6 months of waiting my BE finally arrived this morning. Broght on a trailer from down south, typical Scottish weather prevailled and it was absolutley hammering it down when it got here. Still very very happy though. Not attached any pics on here before so apologies if...

    Key Coding...

    Timpsons will cut the key for you for £10! I have a Seat at the moment but to get the key cut for my flip key cost about that. Exactly the same as the older Audi's!

    Black Edition

    Just had the news today that my BE has been built and is sitting at the docks in Sheerness in Kent, rather ironic as that's 5 miles down the road from my hometown. Miles and miles away now though living here in Glasgow. Not got a delivery date fixed yet but i'm asking for the 23rd.... can't...

    New order lead times

    I ordered my BE on April 30th, has been built this week (WK37) I have now been told it should be a max of 3 weeks from when it's released by the factory. So I'm guessing 4-5 weeks max after build!

    Buying a new A3 BLACK EDITION, WHAT ENGINE TO GO FOR???

    I totally agree with that! I've ordered a new 140BHP BE but wouldn't be put off by the single pipe. Aye, twin pipes would be better but surely we can change the rear valance and adapt the pipes. Just think of the extra economy the 140 gives over the 170 and it's by no means slow. It seems a bit...
