Hi Auroan, unfortunatly it seems that my 2003 A3 has a different pin order to the ISO standard. I seem to remember that my old MkIV Golf had standard ISO (other that the perm and ignition lives were swapped). Hi G4JSG, I don't have BOSE but I have found the pins that you mention so I will use...

Hi Guys, I'm currently installing a Parrot CK3100 in my Mk1 A3, it has a Concert hu without BOSE. Does the A3 use standard ISO wiring to connect to the hu? Any information will be very helpful as I'm a bit stuck at the moment. Thanks, Ade

I hope that they did a better job than on mine. They had to go back three times and now after only 4 weeks one is corroding under the lacquer!

[ QUOTE ] chucky said: You have ro realise its just not the bhp difference its all little tweeks around the car like standard 225bhp have a strut brace like mine [/ QUOTE ] Exactly. I don't want to buy a car that I have to mod to make it handle. The 225's seeem to be the better car however I...

I don't think that I can stretch to a 225 then, as the car that I'm looking at is a Feb '02. What is making the decision really hard is that I have been offered a brand new 225 Leon Cupra R for £1400 less than the nearly 3 year old S3. I haven't driven an S3 yet, will it be much better than...

Guys, thanks very much for all the intresting info. I will be a bit wiser when I visit the dealership at the weekend.

Thanks, I will keep make sure that I get the face lifted version, and I will try for a 225 model.

Thanks guys! I pleased about the DIS and Recaros as they are my 2 fav things in the Golf. I will be getting it from a dealer, as I want to trade teh Golf. Just onw more question (for now), when was the face lift?

Hi guys! I've been really pleased wwith my A3, so I'm now thinking about adding an S3 to the family (bye bye V5 Golf!). I don't know much about the cars, so I would be very gratful for some advice. I will get a 2-3 year old model. Do they all have Recaro seats? Is DIS standard on an S3? Is there...

That's what I wanted to hear! I really would like to keep the VW and the Audi, but the VW customer service is so poor that I don't want to let them have my custom again. I have not yet had to deal with Audi, so I will give them the benefit of the doubt.

The V5 is a cracking car when it's running well! I love mine, however it looks like they have also been affected by coil pack problems. Mine is thisty, but I can get 38mpg on a motorway, and I normally average 25mpg round town. I will dip below 20mpg but you have to keep the revs very hight to...

Wow! I was hoping that I was going to hear a glowing report on Audi. I wonder if it's just this country that puts up with such poor service? My friends in the states rave about VW customer care over there.

I have had some fun trying to get VW customer services to sort a problem for me (see http://tinyurl.com/2wc8m ). I know lot of VW owner having huge problem with VW (just look at the Gti Anni wheel corosion problem!). I was wondering if as Audi are part of the VAG group, are they just as poor...

Bad news mate, but it sounds like it could have been much worse. Glad you are okay.

Sorry to hear that Pilot boy, but you are not alone as last Thursday my wife had a row with a kerb :-( http://homepage.ntlworld.com/a.legassick/photogallery/DCP_0547.JPG
