    My Misano Red A3 Sportback S Line is going back in to the dealers paintshop again (after 5 months and 10k miles) for the front bumper to be repainted.

    Bought my Misano Red S Line Sportback ex demo from dealer last August and shortly after the lacquer on the front bumper started to peel.

    Superchipped A3 2.0TDi v A4 3.0TDi

    On the A14 this evening I had an A4 sitting annoyingly close on my back bumper so thought i'd try the Bluefin remap! I thought the 140 hp 2.0Tdi was a lot quicker with the Bluefin but the A4 appeared to be struggling to keep with me, moved over and eased off as I hit the high 90's and let him...

    A3 Sportback Cup Holder problem

    My son kindly bought me a Euro Cupholder for the dash of my 06 Sportback to replace the useless card drawer from Vag Parts. They had told him it was a direct replacement. I've taken an initial look at fitting and noticed the cupholder appears to be larger than the card drawer. Have they sent me...

    Removing Sportback rear bumper.

    I've searched on the forum and taken note of the suggestions but still can't remove the rear bumper, trying to fit towbar. I believe I must be missing some bolts somewhere inside the boot area but just can't find any. Removed the hex screws under the arches, the screws underneath the rear lights...

The question is whether this is an easy home fit job, no problem with the mechanical bits but not sure if the car will need recoding to...

    Picked up my first Audi yesterday, a very nice ex demo 55 plate A3 2.0 Tdi Sportback S Line with DSG, 18 inch 20 spokes, Concert stereo and Bose in Misano Red and 9k miles. First impressions coming from a BMW E39 530i Sport are surprise that a diesel could be so quick, particularly in the mid...
