I had a similar problem on my 06 sportback and I never got to the bottom of what was happening although I did get around it. If you walk up to the car with it locked and hit the unlock button either once or twice depending on what opens all doors does that then allow you to open the boot (it...

Yes that's the part you need

I swapped out my rear lights and fitted LED number plate light units myself. I alsp picked up a copy of VCDS claimed to be genuine but who knows all I know it worked perfect at coding the rear lights in as well as a few other tweaks amd it was very cheap. The rear lights I picked up from Euro...

I replaced mine a few weeks back in my 2006 2.0TDI BKD I oredered a LUK pulley from one of my parts suppliers. The LUK part number is 535001210

Check the the front anti roll bar D bushes, thats what my moneys on, these are the bushes that secure the bar to the car and are D shaped

Sounds like your clutched pulley on your alternator has seized up, is your tensioner bouncing around a lot at idle? There cheap and easy to change but it does require a special tool to do the job.

Audi BBS Speedline's 19" 19 x 8.5 ET 43 225/35/19 No spacers, rear liner trimmed and front centre upper arch liner screw removed leaves no rubbing. Dropped on AP coilovers

Rear end has now been finished with the removal of the "A3" and "2.0TDI" and the colour coding of the rear badge to match the front badge and wheels:

Thanks. No problem, I've used this same film for 5 cars including this one it can be also used on the rears as well you'll need to use a hairdryer to stretch it over then go over it after with the heat and a pin to eliminate any small bubbles that get trapped to leave a great finish. Here's...

Thanks I have to say I'm very impressed with the AP coilovers they ride so well and as my first ever set as I always just use springs simply because I thought all coilovers were bone shakingly hard but these ride the same if not a bit smoother than the stock S line springs I removed

Exactly my thoughts. 4 doors Decent size boot Great economy Great reliability And great looks

Rotors get my vote. What size have you bought as they look good in 18" but even better in 19"

Thanks. I have no intention of moving on from the A3 for a while, with our first baby due in 7 weeks it was a case of get it all done asap while I still have the time to do it.....

Thanks very much
