    A3 2.0 T S-Line Quattro tyres ?

    Vredestein ultrac sessanta for me, done about 5k and are looking good. Reasonable compromise between price and performance if you ask me.

    Panel filters

    If you're sticking with the paper filter or even switching to a higher performance filter, be sure to replace it or give it a shake out fairly regularly, you'd be amazed at how much crap these things pick up.

    PIAA DRL Bulb blown up.

    I had this myself, didn't. Fit them properly and they shattered when I tried to take out. Spent many hours with the lighting unit out with a hoover and an old coat hanger with some double sided tape trying to get all the remnants out. Take your time and you should be able to get it all out. I...

    Improved Handling Without Lowering Or Massive Loss In Comfort

    I installed a set of Eibach pro springs to my 2.0T quattro s-line, it actually improved the quality of the ride without a noticeable drop in ride height It hasn't, however, transfored the car's handling into that of a go-cart but I would say its an improvement!

    Tyres, too many to choose from :S

    I put Vredestein Ultrac Sessantas on my 18s when I couldn't find any F1s. A bit cheaper and just as grippy. Will have to see how the wear goes as only done a couplke of 1000 miles on them. Not too noisy either

    Google is your friend. Its the standardised size of the stereo head unit. most 'regular' afternarket headunits are single din and those with large screens e.g. Sat nav units, are double din

    The A3 is going! & Bluefin query

    You can have the bluefin unit reset by Bluefin for a fee then the new owner can have a map loaded. Not sure of the cost though.

    3.2 jacking point

    careful there, if you put the trolley jack nearest the bodywork you will crease the body work, the correct loading point is on the arrow

    S-Line Wheel Tyre Size & Offset?

    Pretty sure the standard offset for the A3 is ET 54. The A4 wheels are 18x8 whereas the A3 wheels are 18x7.5. There are a couple of A3 sets on ebay at the moment: AUDI A3 S3 GOLF SKODA GENUINE 4 X 18" RS6 ALLOY WHEELS! on eBay (end time 06-Oct-10 21:20:19 BST) GENUINE AUDI A3 SLINE...
