So my car was broken into this week and they managed to code a key and almost got away. But how did they get in, there was no broken windows, no other damage except that the drivers side key lock barrel was completely gone. Does removing the barrel simply unlock/open the door? It shouldn’t...

Looking at getting a Disklok but I need to take the measurement of the steering wheel across the middle but I forgot to do that before the car was loaded on the back of a truck and on it’s way to a garage. Speaking of which, which fuse(s) disable the ODB port? You can probably guess how they...

I installed a CarPlay retrofit kit a few weeks ago but annoyed at not having a clean charging solution that didn’t have wires trailing around everywhere, air vent solutions were out of the question, so finally pulled my finger out and did something about it. Used the 12v socket in the centre...

Going to be needing to disconnect the battery from my 2012 S4 to install a CarPlay retrofit kit, do I need a stereo code for when I reconnect the battery back again? I've had a look through the owners manual, can't find anything resembling a code there.

i've been having a battery drain issue of late on my 99 A3 and have something pointed out to me.. when i turn the ignition off, the illuminated display that shows mileage goes off (as it should) but then when i remove the key, the red mileage comes back on and even when i arm the alarm, the...

i have a 99 A3 1.8t sport, was driving home yesterday and when pulling away from a set of lights (normally, no F1 style starts for me!), i started noticing my bite point wasnt where it usually is which is around 800rpm where i'm normally off the clutch then onto the gas pedal and it pulls away...

just got my car back from its 60k service and now when its turned on i get an engine warning light come on and warning beeps. i looked in the manual and its the engine coolant warning. the warning light (and warning beeps) usually goes away after a minute whilst the engine is warming up...

just had a drive around today and noticed a sort of burning smell coming from the engine bay. even after a few hours of driving the smell is still there, also come into the cabin if the fan (and possibly aircon) is on. it drives as usual but i did notice the rpms shoot to 4000 two or three...

would there be any problem getting a bumper with cutouts but not actually have the washers yet? i'm contemplating getting a rieger bumper and sizing up the options, since i'm fitting facelift lights i wont have fog lights so will want the foglight cutout as standard. but, i've noticed that...

basically its a clip which holds the brake line and err another line which i had to move when fitting my strut brace. see pic (http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/vbpicgallery.php?do=big&p=1363), its the clips that hold up the lines that are heat-shielded, behind the brace. apologies about the...

thinking of getting the standard 17" s3 alloys in a different colour for my a3, maybe anthracite coloured, can anyone photoshop a black a3/s3 (side on view) with these colour alloys? thanks.

what are the differences between the 2? i know someone whos selling a unused A3 spoiler that he had brought from audi because he wanted the S3 spoiler instead, which got me thinking what was so different about them. bonus points for pics :)

for f***s sake people, control your chavvy pikey inbred kids. if im outside taking the time out to wax the car, why the f**k do your hellspawn think its alright to throw crisps at it as they're going past?? GRR! if your "kid" is playing down the end of the street, dont ******* shout at...

will facelift headlights from an A3 fit into a pre-facelift without any hacking of the bodywork, i think i read somewhere that S3 lights need hacking up but wondering if this was also true for facelift A3s?

brought a new bosch rear wiper from halfords as the rubber on the current one is splitting. i know how to replace the front wipers as thats rather straight forward but in the rear wiper box, there is a small white box with some sort of cover/fitting in there. what is that for?

its time for me to start looking at looking at improving the handling of the car, i have a 1999 150bhp A3 1.8t sport around 68k miles. so far all i've done is changed the standard 16" competiton alloys for 17" avus alloys with eagle f1's running 32F/36R and am in the process of getting a...

http://www.hids4u.co.uk/product_details.asp?id=44 the above link is for a H4 bi-xenon kit. my car is a 1999 a3 1.8t sport (pre-facelift obviously), it has 3 bulbs: 1 sidelight, 1 dipped, 1 main/fog bulb, so im using a H4/H7 combo, so i looked at this kit instead...

okay im confused about what oil to use for my 1999 A3 1.8t sport. have scanned in the page from my manual but still none the wiser! (see linky) can someone recommend the type (VW 500 01?) and more importantly, a make of oil that is suitable, im on annual servicing if that makes any...

on the passenger side, the wiper doesnt make full contact with the screen, the edge that is nearest to the passenger side mirror just sort of hangs up in the air. meaning when i want to wiper something, where that part should be flush against the screen, its not and doesnt clean that part...

spoke to a guy who retrofitted xenons using a kit onto his A3 and dead impressed on how bright they are. his bumper already had the headlight washers so obviously he didnt need fit those, however my current bumper doesnt have this so i imagine i would need a new bumper, is there any special...
