    Sold My A3, A Quick Review.

    Enjoy the Golf GTI. I sold my A3 a few months ago and bought one - it's so much more fun to drive than the A3. And it doesn't rattle or squeak like my A3 did :)

    Over reving problems?

    Yup, that happened to me a couple of times the other night - although it's not done it since. I'm going to pop to the dealer when I can find time.

    ahhhhhh, quattro.

    Today my car is being serviced so I've got a loaner from the stealer. To my delight it's a Sportback 2.0T Quattro S-Line. The quattro came in handy for my drive to work this morning The new turbo engine is great as well - I could be persuaded to change from diesel back to petrol. It's just...

    Brakes grinding

    My car has developed an intermittent squeak from one of the wheels when coasting to a halt with no brakes applied. My local stealer sent one of their monkeys out in the car with me and he agreed it was making a noise. He put the car on a platform and spun the wheels, trying to replicate the...

    Car reg checker

    I bought my tax disc using the dvla website. It worked really well, and it came through in the post a couple of days later. I think it only works on cars less than 3 years old, as they don't have electronic MOT records.

    Seems kind of quiet round here..

    Another whinge I'm afraid.... I bought my A3 2 years ago and was without it for 7 weeks because of the legendary wiper problem, the dealers near me are useless and the car rattles all the time. This is not what I'd expect from a premium car manufacturer. My previous A3 was great and I had no...

    Which lights => Philips Bluevision or nightguide ?

    On Friday I decided to order some Philips VisionPlus bulbs from powerbulbs (thanks to Eeef for the discount, btw). Great service - I got them on Saturday morning, and by 10am I'd fitted them. The bulbs are a huge improvement over the standard ones - I just wish I'd put them in when I got the...

    What are you parked next to this morning?

    I was parked next to this F430 last Sunday - one of my friends is a member of the P1 club. Amazing car - although it rattles almost as much as a new A3!

    What wheels on a coupe?

    Have a look at www.alloywheels.com and look under Audi and your model. It should show all the sizes, styles, offsets etc for your car. Pretty good site!
