    09 Sportback Rear Door Lock - where to buy

    I got you. I had the cover off already and saw where the door handle / bar fits into the lock. It looks like a right ****** to get to, I'm not blessed with small digits either.

    09 Sportback Rear Door Lock - where to buy

    My drivers rear door lock has given up, it opens ok from the inside but won't open when pulling the outside door handle.

    EGR & diesel particulate filter need replacing according to Audi - Help!

    Do you tend to drive short distances ie less than ten miles at a time? These cars need a decent run regularly to clear out the dpf. If you're not doing the miles to regenerate it then dpf removal or change it for a petrol is your best option long term.

    audi a3 bhp... stumped

    Perhaps, just trying to point out it may not have been the case that the seller was deliberately mis advertising. I've not seen the advert but if the only reference to the bhp was in the technical details section which is pre-populated then I suspect the principles of caveat emptor will apply.

    audi a3 bhp... stumped

    Is it possible spec was auto generated by auto trader? I've seen a lot of cars on there mis described and I'm pretty sure it's down to their selling wizard providing incorrect defaults.

    Amazon Logistics

    I've had a few run-ins with Amazon's own delivery service "Amazon Logistics" over the last couple of years. I've recently uncovered a new tactic of theirs which I'm making as many people aware of as possible. Particularly this affects Prime customers but it also affects you if you've...

    black edition diamond cut wheel refurb?

    I believe there is a maximum number of times they can be re-cut as well, possibly as low as twice. I had a set of diamond cut alloys on my old golf 5 and ended up getting them stripped and power coated as they wouldn't re-cut them. The refinished wheel was not very resilient anyway and one...

    just hit curb and taken chunk out of tyre..

    This part of the tyre exists to protect the alloy rim from light curbing. It is a sacrificial design though you seem to have sacrificed quite a bit! Personally I'd change it for peace of mind.
