    Closest silver wheel paint for RS6 wheels

    I have tried searching for this as I am sure I saw something about this a while ago, but can't find it now. Does anyone know what is the best matching colour aerosol for the standard RS6 silver wheels? - just need to do a bit of touch up! Thanks

    Rip in vinyl arm rest

    Anyone know if there is a way to do an invisible repair or replace just the vinyl on my door armrest? Asked Audi who said I would need a new door. Car is nearly 5 years old, but thinking of selling it privately now and would like to get this sorted first. I had a go at using some...

    New Diverter Valve 'D' installed!

    I found it a nightmare to change when I did mine a few months back (but I am a kack handed fool). I found it easier getting at it through the wheel well mostly. My original DV was noisier, but it wasn't actually split so I didn't notice any increase in performance when I changed it for the...

    S3 oil change

    V nice looking motor. Although its probably a waste of money buying Audi longlife oil if it is going to be changed so soon - Buy the Castrol fully synthetic and save some cash

    Buying a 2.0T Quattro

    Reading through the small print, this car already has an amd remap with milltek exhaust, so the clutch and turbo have not been running on standard power. I think it is a bit overpriced with that mileage, got my 55 plate from a private seller with 34k miles (basically same as this) back in...

    New to forum A3 opinions

    Should be able to pick up a fairly decent 2.0T s-line for between 10-12k. 55 - 56 reg. I got my 55 reg (06 model) 2.0 tfsi s-line quattro in Feb 09 - £10k with 33k miles from a private seller. 2.0 tfsi is a reliable engine, no problems as yet.

    2.0TFSI quattro (2005) - remap/DV valve

    I have a 55 reg (06 updated shape) 2.0 tfsi and went to the trouble of fitting the newer diverter valve, after I got it chipped. It was a pain in the **** to fit being at the bottom of the engine, although I am not very competent when it comes to mechanics. When I picked up the new dv from...

    NEW PICS

    Looks good mate. I had a older shape Saab 93 turbo with the bsr stage 1 before I got my 2.0t Quattro, I must admit there is no comparison in handling - a3 wins by miles. However... even though I got the A3 chipped, it still doesn't match the saab for pulling power on the motorway once you...

    Anti tune measures in MY10 Audi's??

    Sounds like a crap idea..... Surely Audi must realise people don't want this, why even bother. What's next.... bonnets that can only be opened by Audi techinicians?

    What's best thing to do? Paint!

    If you go down the touch-up route then try paints4u.com - much better than buying a touch-up pen from Audi. Just supply the paint code and get a Scratch Master Kit including scratch cleaner, paint, lacquer, G3 liquid compound, wet 'n' dry and polishing cloth. I used it on my Avus Silver...
