    2013 A5 with B&O - Missing subwoofer settings?

    Hi all, Got myself an A5 which I have been wanting for years in the colour and spec I was looking for. Well worth the wait! Have a bit of confusion with the B&O speaker settings though - there is no settings for the Subwoofer - There is balance/fader, bass & treble. I have searched through...

    A5 3.0 TDI Catback Exhaust?

    Very interested in hearing this when ever you have time to post it! I've been looking and for the miltek it's around £850 and the Jetex I've seen for around £450 - so I'd much prefer one at that saving tbh! Is yours completely stock / standard bhp also? Looking forward to hearing it! With DPF...

    A5 3.0 TDI Catback Exhaust?

    Ah right I understood that slightly, most videos on YouTube are with a full exhaust and with the DPF removed etc etc which makes sense. Right okay about the DPF - I heard that it had to be taken off and welded open and removed all the things inside - is this correct? Is this safe and somewhat...

    A5 3.0 TDI Catback Exhaust?

    Hi, I am looking to be getting an Audi A5 3.0 TDI for next year after looking into it. It looks like one of the best value motors I could upgrade to. A ~50mpg 245bhp, 4 wheel drive diesel monster - It ticks all the boxes. I CANNOT wait to get one. I've been looking at different exhausts which...

    100W 12V bulbs in my A3? Would they be fine?

    What about a HID kit? I've seen one on this forum advertised - WellDoneHID - Would the 6000k have no problems if I installed it? Looks like a better investment for only £50 or so - Give off more light compared to any halogen bulb too apparently!

    100W 12V bulbs in my A3? Would they be fine?

    I would aim the headlights as down to the floor as possible (With the little adjuster next to the headlights) - so this wouldn't really be a problem - It's just I've read things about how it can be too much wattage for the ampage? I don't know electricals so therefore don't have a clue on this...

    100W 12V bulbs in my A3? Would they be fine?

    Hi, I previously had 2x 55W 12V bulbs in my 2009 Sportback A3. Earlier yesterday, one of them went for whatever reason. They have been in there a while and were overall decent bulbs. Today, I have no other 55W 12V bulb to replace it however I do have 2x 100W 12V bulbs which are the same H7...

    Remapping 1.9 TDI 105 2009 A3 Sportback?

    Im based in North Wales. I know the difference, I had a 140 bhp courtesy car while mine was getting a new clutch and flywheel under warranty, and the difference is massive! (But that was a 2.0 TDI 140) I wouldn't want to map any more than 140 out of it just to be on the safe side! 140 is way...

    Remapping 1.9 TDI 105 2009 A3 Sportback?

    Hi, Wondering if anyone else here has a 1.9 TDI Sportback (2003 - 2010) and has had it remapped? I am very tempted to get it remapped, it's currently 105BHP now and is quite sluggish (Because of how heavy it is!) I have driven a 140 and the difference in power is astonishing. I have also just...

    Do we have a joke thread?

    The biggest joke of them all is the amount of cup holders in the 2009 A3 Sportback 5-door! Very shocked when I bought it, drove it home and realized there was ONE!

    Front Speakers - A3 Sportback 2009

    If I cut the old wire, and twisted it alot with my new speaker wires, wrapped it with electrical tape - would this work fine and have no worries of anything going wrong? I know sound vibrates but twisting metal together and taping it isn't going to be undone by vibration. Would this work? I've...

    Front Speakers - A3 Sportback 2009

    I have a question too: My car is the 5-door A3 2009 If I took the old speakers out (I'm pretty sure they are the 6.5" ones, bottom of the doors (driver + passenger doors), can I simply just cut the wires from the old speaker and connect them to the new speaker? Would that work? Would there be...

    Front Speakers - A3 Sportback 2009

    Hi, I'm not sure if it would be the same speakers? Yours is a 2004 3-door while mine is a 2009 5-door? This was the speaker kit I was looking at...

    Front Speakers - A3 Sportback 2009

    One of my front speakers is making a little weird static-like sound (can only hear it at low, low volume). But seeing as I have a subwoofer in the boot, and it isn't the BOSE spec speaker set - I thought I may aswell just upgrade my front speakers? Had a look on eBay and 2 pioneer speakers for...
