    A3 WIERD NOISE WHEN STARTING

    I had been asked to follow this up, I had my starter motor reconditioned last year and it was fine after that. Sold the car in April this year so couldnt tell you how long the recondition cured it for but was still starting without the noise when i sold it!

    Rear wiper arm replacement

    Hi guys, I came out to my car this morning to find some little f**ker has snapped the rear wiper arms of my car & the missus car too. I cant get the washer jet to work either so guessing theyve snapped that right off. There is now just the threaded bolt sticking out on both cars, they are...

    What's you annual mileage???????

    I manage about 35k in an average year, only travel about 10 miles a day to work and back but my sister lives in Leeds & my parents live in the south of France so cover quite a distance every year visiting family.

    2002 A3 1.8T Sport

    2002 cars are facelift 8L, i think the 8P came in early 2003 so you will find 03 reg and possibly even 53 reg 8L models still.

    What do you guys make of these trim kits?

    Not my sort of thing at all! If you want something a bit shiney inside, Awesome GTi have a few bits for the A3 interior if i remember correctly.

    Look at the state of these

    I think you are right, im convinced that the "Ray" is a Hyundai Atoz in disguise aswell. What heaps of junk!

    Headlight bulbs?

    I found the Halfords superbright bulbs were spot on for the money, all legal ratings etc, very white light too. My next mod will defo be a xenon kit, having driven a couple of cars with xenons the difference is massive. Money well spent in my opinion. You will need H7's for the main beam...

    Changing brake discs

    I am going to be changing my brake discs tonight but ive just had a friend tell me that the discs on the A4 have an odd sized Torx style bolt holding them on. Does anybody know if this is the case for A3's aswell? Also, does anybody know the correct torque settings for the caliper bolts...

    Anyone found a use for it

    I use it to store my wallet, perfect size and once the flap is closed on it most people wouldnt even know there is a storage compartment there so i guess it is pretty safe too. Hope i havent spoken too soon, if my wallet goes missing i know who to ask :)

    Will these fit my A3?

    Great, thanks! :rockwoot: Im afraid i wont be breaking any moulds, nothing exceptional, just a set of the RS4 style in 17" I spend a lot of time on the road so dont want to sacrifice the quiet and comfortable ride too much by going for huge wheels but hope a set of these will smarten it...
