    Audi A3 8V Reverse Camera (High) DIY Retrofit guide!!

    Hi knowledgeable folks of the forum. I wanted to do something nice for my mom so I recently bought a new oem reverse camera unit with all the necessary wires and modules for her A3 8V sportback. We got everything installed but have really been struggling with the coding. The mmi screen pops up...

    Boot extended storage compartment nets

    Hi, I don't remember the size I bought and I can't find it in my order history. But just use a tape measure and measure the space of the holes plus a little more for the velcro. It doesn't look as good as oem items but it's done it's job fine. The top corners sometimes come a little loose if you...

    Retrofit drivers power/memory seat

    Interested in the memory seats, my wife drives the car quite often and I find it a right pain having to try to find my seat position every time. I've been keeping an eye out on retrofit sites like kufatec and k-electronic, they have solutions for retro fitting electric seat adjustment but...

    Drivers storage compartment retrofit

    Hi just to clarify, the speed nut was unnecessary, all that is needed is the dash trim and storage box in my first post and 2 of the bolts I ordered afterwards. Thanks.

    Drivers storage compartment retrofit

    Just wanted to let others know that after much googling I finally found the part numbers for the drivers storage compartment for right hand drive cars. I know there were some other members who were interested in this retrofit who don't have the extended storage pack like me. I'm too busy at...

    Bang and Olufsen Recall

    It's a good thing that this thread appeared because it made me have a look at mine. Car was in for a service a month ago and they carried out this tsb fix. I didn't even think it would be necessary to look over what they had done, assuming it's just a small and simple task. Small and simple is...

    What is the OEM bore of the A4 b9 rims?

    I think the diesel is a mistake. It's about the s4 afterall.

    3.0 tdi 272 vs 2.0 Q Tfsi

    I asked a similar question before I bought my 272 last year. I don't do a lot of miles but this past year I've been very happy with the car. Probably my one and only gripe with it compared with petrol is how long it takes to warm the cabin up in winter. Quattro with winter tyres has been awesome...

    Asketh and receiveth. This is how both my sides look on flat level ground.

    My "clunk clunk" noise....

    Did you confirm that's what's making the noise? I could be wrong but I'm fairly sure it's normal for the bump stop to sit on top of the shock absorber like that. At least when I lowered my s2000 they were all like that. Just looks like one side is extended a bit more and so more of the bump stop...
