My engine light came on today and the door lock were frozen when I finished work at 11pm. Finally got the door open, and it wouldn't ****** shut! Lol. Nothing a kettle of hot water couldn't fix thankfully! (The door is probably water welded shut now)
Another busy day. Oil and filter change, replaced injector seals and replaced all the wipers and dodgy rear wiper motor.
Modified the gear linkage setup and replaced the gear cables on this, then took it for a spin

Another busy Saturday. New rear discs and pads fitted, new fuel filter and changed front cv boots. Needs new drop links. Never ending spending on these cars!
I did over 100k in mine and found the maintenance remarkably cheap! Everything you have done today is a wear item. Or have you done them not so long ago?

It just seams that every week it's needing something! Understand today's was maintenance but as I have only had the car approx 3 months I feel that I am spending a fair bit on it to keep it road worthy. However, light at the end of the tunnel as once the drop links are done, that should be it for a while(fingers crossed)
... I bought a headlights days ago for really funny price - 20 € ...
... I gave them apart ...
... original parts ...
... then i play a little ...
... and also side markers ...
I've painted in the color of the car. I will see how they will look in the end if they will look well i will fit it in the car

You must show us some Pictures of the result, whenever you fit them!
Was it hard to disassemble them, to paint them?
Thinking of painting mine Black.. Did you use heat resistance or just plain red?

For 20€?
Somebody send me a pair of those for that price and I'll facelift my A3 ASAP. That is a crazy price. The best price I've seen for FL lights are like 160€ a pair.
Introduced my old jack to it's new big brother, I think it was a little scared.I know I was when it turned up, I think maybe I should of read the specs a little closer, as I didn't think it was going to be quite that big or heavy! lol.

handbrake cable. which was surprisingly easy, the old one would hardly move
new cheapo bosch alternator
got my vcds cable to work and started logging the fuel sender readings to see if the sender or gauge that is now very non linear, it gets to about 350 miles on top 1/2 of tank then behaves like an S3 and does150 miles in the remaining 1/2 tank
put the door blade back on after about 6 months of it sitting in my office

Got a great deal on a oem audi roof rack (thanks mr Miller) so got that fitted, not just for scene points, im a avid surfer and my a3 is my only car! the car looks real mean now along with the flyeye kit on my headlights, going to order some plastidip and dechrome the audi badge and surround on the front soon see how it looks all murdered out. Will get some pictures tomorrow
Just a heads up, when I purchased my S3 it had OEM Audi roof racks on it & all four areas where they sit had rubbed the clear coat off. I was lucky as this was repaired when my roof rail rust was done by Audi. If I ever use roof racks again, I will be putting some kind of 3M protection on.
Ahh i got some 3M Carbon vinyl, might make some little squares to stick under the pads, thanks for the heads up!
Nice. Interest to hear how you get on. May be my next move.booked my k04 hybrid s3 in for its map with badger 5!!!!!
Cool. Would be interested in what you have done(costs too) as I am tempted.pm if more appropriate mate
