    Hold Assist Retrofit.

    I have been trying to "retrofit" auto-hold to my 2018 S3 cabriolet but without the switch. The following coding from @MarttiMat worked, however I am left with the dreaded "parking error, auto hold not available" error. I tried also setting the "enable monitoring of switch" adaptation to zero...

    Hyperlinks

    This is an utterly useless set up and makes it a complete PITA to link to anything. Fortunately if you're using Firefox you can override the site's styles so that hyperlinks show up again. Have a read of this blog post about the userContent.css file you need to create...

    Stereo problem

    I tried floating like a butterfly and stinging like a bee, but it was like Mike Tyson and wouldn't give up. In the end I got out of the car and had my dinner. It fixed itself overnight, no need for the bruised knuckles after all.

    Site Upgrade (05-01-10) - Post Problems/Requests Here (READ INSTRUCTIONS IN POST #1)

    Can I second this? How am I supposed to tell if someone has included a link in their message without hovering over every single word to see what happens? To illustrate the point, that previous sentence included three links to Google. Also, search seems to always sorting results by the...

    Stereo problem

    This is bizarre. I haven't posted on these forums for months because the A3 has been absolutely flawless, but this evening it started doing exactly this. Mine's a non-Bose Symphony II and it's doing this regardless of whether I'm moving or stationery, whether the engine is running or not...

    cracked !

    Why wouldn't you go through insurance? £75 is a bargain compared to the full price. If you need time to save up, leave it until your MOT is due as it would be a failure.

    Screen wash leak

    Hello folks, hope you're all cool :cool: I've not posted for a while because my A3's been very good to me (and I've been generally pretty busy otherwise) but it's only gone and spoilt the mood by deciding to use up all the nice screenwash I put in. When I fill it up I can see drips coming...

    Haldex Oil Change (S3) - In the South-East

    Are you in range of VagTech? http://www.vagtech.co.uk/ They did mine for free when I had a full service and cambelt done recently, so I can't imagine they'd charge much for it on its own.

    :moa: Hello again, not posted for a (long) while! I've still got the A3, still love it and (fingers crossed) it's going great. Just thought I'd say that the boys at Vagtech sorted the car out a treat the other week, doing a 70k service with cambelt and Haldex for me. I'd thoroughly...

    Dirty vans......

    Seen on the back of a grubby Citroen Xantia: "I wish my nephew was this dirty."

    Herbal Cigarettes.

    Rocketed one at a festival once. What a waste of £1.50 that was.

    Alfa Romeo GTV 3.0 V6

    Funnily enough I'm just starting to look at V6 GTVs but I think I'm swaying dangerously towards getting a Spider for a bit of fun over the summer. Both are gorgeous motors. £6k sounds quite a bit for a GTV though, when you can pick up decent Spiders for that money.
