    A3 Sportback diesel chips

    I had the Superchips Bluefin on my A3 DSG and it was the best money spent ever, the 140hp goe sup to around 180hp and makes the car superb to drive. You can revert to the standard map in 10 minutes if you're worried about the warranty etc, it will not be totally undetectable but the average...

    Calling all Audi 2.0 TDI Owners for ECU Re-map!!!!

    Sadly I swopped in my A3 Tdi DSG for a BMW 530D, needed bigger car and hence the BMW, however the Bluefin chip on my 2.0TDi DSG was superb and certainly worth the £500. I have it for sale in the classifieds section if anyones interested, then you can purchase a map for your own car for...

    Pre Facelift S3 - In Dash Cup Holder

    When I swopped the card holder in my Sportback for the cupholder I had a similar problem and got around it by modding the front from the card holder to fit. So basically I have a "hidden" cup holder.

    Retrofitting a MFSW S-Line

    well my dealer wanted close on £2k for the full job including parts, needless to say I haven't bothered and like you I don't fancy doing it myself. Must be an opportunity for someone out there, happily pay sensible money?

    FAO: 140 Re-mapped Owners

    As one who has the Superchips remap I can honestly say it was the best money i've spent on tuning, but the reason I went for the Superchip was mainly that I wanted something that I could load or unload at will when I take my car for a service. I am still within the warranty and prefer to not...

    German Ebay

    You can also use the translator within Micorsoft Word, click on Tools, Language and then translate. It works reasonably well, I work for a French company and use it all the time.

    Stone chipps under audi warranty!!!!

    Its def the Miasano Red as I have now had mine repainted 3 times by Audi, first time they did a poor paint match hence the second repaint, and more recently after a further 15k miles I had the front redone as it has peeled again. It would appear that the paint gets chipped and then starts to...

    Just ordered my bluefin!

    The guys at Superchip will respond quickly if you need it. I couldn't download the map to my home Pc as NTL at that time wouldn't allow it for some reason. So rang the guys at Superchip who very kindly allowed me to upload at a customer site, I then rang them and they made the map available...

    Bluetooth without MFSW

    Thanks Marms, but I don't have access to Vagcom and tbh I don't feel confident in removing the airbag..visions of it going off in my face are worrying. I wonder if there is an Audi specialist in the Herts/Cambs border who would take this job on? Anybody? I live at Royston Herts, SG88 postcode?

    Bluefin

    Go for the Bluefin, did it on my A3 140 DSG and the difference is stunning, smoother more torgue and slightly better economy and its quicker than a 170 by far. Transformed the car from a quick oil burner to a very rapid motor, shame about the tyre wear tho!

    Bluetooth without MFSW

    Well that's vastly different to my dealers quote, did you do the job yourself? Where did you source the parts from please. I have cruise fitted so I would happily pay £350 for the job.

    Bluetooth without MFSW

    The holes will be level with the eyeball vents to the left of the passenger one..and believ me its a mess if you remove the bracket. Like you my car was specced with GSM/Bluetooth and no MFSW by the dealer, it was their demo car. Absolutely useless without the MFSW but the dealer has quoted...

    Misano Red A3 warranty paintwork

    Dropped the car off today for the warranty work and picked up the loan car. An 07 Sportback in Misano Red with 170 Tdi Quattro and manual box. First impressions are that my Superchipped 140 is quicker but slightly rougher sounding, however it has done 30k compared to 6k on the loan car. Yes you...

    Misano Red A3 warranty paintwork

    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. The exact same symptoms as before with the lacquer lifting in a number of places. Audi Huntingdon have been very good in progressing the claim...

    My new A3 is in UK which rims?

    Interesting that the ACE 132's are so similar to the 20 Spoke 18's from Audi that I have, personally I think the Audi ones look excellent, do they do them in 19's I wonder. Were there not any Audi rims that fitted the bill for you?
