    Retro fit black styling pack?

    Seen a few Glacier A3s on here now with the black styling pack. It looks SMART! What would be my best option to retrofit it - I am guessing not at the dealer - what kind of company should I look for locally to do it?

    Audi Sound System - Yes Or No?

    I completely understand your opinion, and don't get me wrong I don't expect others to share my listening tastes either - they are a very personal thing. I am from a very music-orientated background, although I would say that some of my volume requirements are to attract attention (its such a...

    Audi Sound System - Yes Or No?

    I have been a long-standing complainer on this forum of the A.S.S :music: It depends what you want from your music. I personally have my music very loud and very bass-heavy. I find that the bass and sub is pretty rubbish, mainly because it severely clips the audio at a certain volume. I also...

    Don't put those wheels on, stock ones are so much nicer!

    Could somebody with an 8V 3dr do me a favour please?

    Lol, I know the feeling. Mine sat in the adapter's car park for a whole week this time last year, because it was so new that they didn't have any hand controls that would fit it! They finally got some that were compatible with the MK7 Golf, same platform so it worked. I would say that you have...

    Could somebody with an 8V 3dr do me a favour please?

    I have the Audi sound system with the sub in the boot. I don't see that it causes any additional loss of space (including still being height adjustable) - the issue for me is more that the physical boot space is considerably too small for my wheelchair without dismantling, and its a very compact...

    audi a3 1.6tdi s tronic gearbox remap ( already tuned)

    Cool, cheers Syed I will have a good think about it, probably end up doing it. I know the feeling, I ordered in January and took delivery end of July - the wait was terrible! I was looking to do exactly what you did, getting the light pack etc. Then for some reason, the S-Line model appeared in...

    audi a3 1.6tdi s tronic gearbox remap ( already tuned)

    Auroan, I can understand your angle but I would have to agree with Syed. Prior to the 25k cap, the system was abused, however what the majority of press coverage failed to mention was that the buyer would always funded the difference in cost of the car. At one point you could even get a Range...

    audi a3 1.6tdi s tronic gearbox remap ( already tuned)

    I came from a 1.6L petrol (no turbo), so from word go this car has felt pretty powerful (i know in real terms it isn't). I am glad its not only me who thinks it feels faster than it is - it feels way quicker to 60 than 10 seconds, which it currently is. I have the same issue with it sometimes...

    Interesting to find someone else with the 1.6 A3 on Motability! I have the same car and was considering getting it tuned. Can I ask, what kind of performance increase have you had (when its running well, that is)??

    Surprised you were happy with the York dealership - they were by far the worst dealership I have ever had to deal with!!!
