Hi, Does anybody with a non xenon equipped FL A3 know what lights it has? In particular the day time running light bulb. Want to replace this with a White LED not sure if it is just a standard 501 sidelight bulb? Anyone upgraded the main bulbs with Phillips Blue/Silver vision or similar? Seen...

We are just about to order a A3 1.9TDie Sport in Silver wiith Cruise got a good deal much better than we could get on a 1 Series and after 3 1 Series wanted a change. Owned an 04 plate 1.6 Special Edition a few years back nice car just found the engine a bit weedy. Dynamicaly the 1 Series is a...

Meguiars NXT tech is really good stuff another good one belive it or not is the Turtle Wax "Wax it Wet" great for a quick polish and gives really good results. As for the brake dirt you need something like Wonder Wheels or Hot Rims from meguairs they are both a mild acid and will remove the...

It's an Audi and Seat thing to have the dials lit up even during the day, all the led lights should go off on turning the ignition off.

Removal of the spare tyre will reduce the weight by 30Kg and you can carry a bottle of tyre weld. Removal of a certain amount of wight say 80Kg will help with the cars handling and maybe knock a couple of tenths of a second off the 0-60/0-100 time. Peugeot did it with the 106 and 206 Rallye...

Apprantly demand across Europ has shot up as people have decided to go for the Audi instead of the Golf and Audi have just brought in another production line to build more A3's.

Don't like the replacment Alloy wheels for the Standard Model They may look better in the flesh but that picture makes them look lioke wheel trims!! Alu trim sounds like a good idea, I might retro fit it to mine.

The later cars deffo seem to be better, not had one single problem with mine that was late Feb build...Touches wood I think the build quality is top notch and actually slightly supperior to my wifes 318Ci and my old 320d

Glasse's guide take into account the average price that people are paying and then base the car's first drop just a bit under this. Some cars are an exception to the rule and is dependant on deamand in the used car market. Depreciation is mainly down to desirability and image, numbers only come...

I got £700 off my 1.6 Special edition which is just under 5% Don'#t forget too much discounting means your car will depreciate faster like a Vauxhall or a Ford

Yep H7's for the mainbeam/dip, the sidelights are an absolute pig to remove, in fact the manual does not recomend removing/changing them. There is very little room around the headlight area so it is a matter of fitting by feel and using a torch.

Your consumption seems a bit high Irish as I am currently getting 350 miles out of a tank in quite a hungry 1.6 doing city driving like yourself. I would expected going on for 500 miles out of your TDi. Must just be newness.

Any car is fast all depends on the driver and the way they drive. Driver A may be faster than Driver B then you also have the differences in temp, wet dry ect. Unless all the cars were tested at the same time with the same driver and the same miles on the clock there are too many variances to...

Maybe BM should poach Audi's designer
