    SACRILEGE !!!!

    Its a BMW compact so who cares! There are few cars as over rated. It was obviously a total waste of time and money though! ****.

    Keyed car, any ideas?

    Some rotten little grunt has keyed my better halfs car, all down one side. Its too big and deep for me to touch up and would be too expensive to have the pannels resprayed. Has anyone had any experience with any of the scratch repair companys? Are they any good? Be even better if you know of...

If your interested its parked up on the A127 in Southend on Sea, Essex near the Bell pub. If you drive down the 127...

    How big/small? A3 rear speakers

    All sorted, sounds much better now. The driver side door tweeter isn't working so I have to have a look at that at some time. Also my car has never had rear speakers!?!?!? The felt insterts are still in place over the rear speaker holes in the rear cards by the base of the rear seat. I...

    How many miles has your audi lasted?

    My '99 T, 1.6 SE shows 101K, i've only recently bought it but runs ok slight hunt for idle (typical VAG!). I've done front and rear disks and pads, air filter and new plugs. Seems to be returning very good MPG, surely the only reason to have a 1.6! One of the flappy door pockets has broken...

    AUDI suffolk

    I'm in Essex, not too far. Have you ever been to one of the Phat Dub's meets in the Colchester area? I have yet to make it one but if you need a meet fix have a look on their web site/fourm. I think that Club Audi has a meet in Suffolk as well. I'd be interested if you set up a meet by the...

    How big/small? A3 rear speakers

    I've hunted arround for any signs of the original wiring so that I can take the power supply for my amp but no sign of anything. Where's the best/easiest place to take the power from? If I come directly from the battery (via a fuse) any ideas on how to get through the bulk head? Also any tips...

    Swaping steering wheel

    How hard is it to swap the steering wheel on an A3. Obviously its got an airbag and I don't want the little fu#ker going off in my face! I'm happy to put another Audi unit in, mines just a bit tired. I'd also like to swap the gear knob as thats showing signs of age too.

    How big/small? A3 rear speakers

    Someone's definatly been a chopin'! Pulled the head unit forward to have another look for other wires. All I can find is a very short bit of ofc phono twin cable and a short bit of singles. I can't see any connectors where the amp would have been! There is evidence of an amp having been...

    How big/small? A3 rear speakers

    Snot there! There is no sub in my car. I guess its possible that someone has removed it at some point. Is there any spec A3 SE that wouldn't have had a sub? The wiring behind the head unit has been pretty butchered. What can I say you get what you pay for and my car was cheap!

    Key/alarm fob

    I've just bought a '99 A3 unfortunatly it only came with the service key not the flip key fob. The car also has a Sigma alarm fitted and you guessed it I don't have the fob for that either. Which one is going to be easier/cheaper to replace?

    How big/small? A3 rear speakers

    I've just bought a '99 A3 SE (does that make it an 8L?). To my total dissbelief having fitted my Sony MP3/CD I have found my car only has 2 speakers! Looks like that is the original spec. Can i retro fit rears? What size are they? There are no wires so I'll have to run them, while I'm at it...

    Been gone a while but I've come back

    Hello Audi fans. I've not logged on for over a year. Why? I had to sell my B4 80 quattro 2.6E as I started my own business and needed a van. Having got fed up with running my own little company I've got a proper job again, sold the van and bought another Audi. Its only a cheapie and is...
