    Need price for Headlight + Rear Light

    I bought a brand new in box rear light complete with lamps for a 3 door for the princely sum of £5 plus £10 p&p. There's the other side one on there at the moment from the same seller. And yes, they are legit items. Not so good news if your selling but belting if you're buying.

    ok how do u pull the studs out of the rear mats?

    Or alternatively you've just got new rear mats and they are held together on the packaging by cromed "pins". Ease them apart gently, get a pair of pliers or side cutters and snip away.

    What Diesel?

    Yup. No real difference. I tried the "performance" diesel (ahem!) and it made no difference to normal. I try and buy the cheapest round the doors (try www.petrolprices.com to find the cheapest where you live) and then give the car a good horsing once or twice a week to clear the muck from the...

    Quick Pricing Question

    Anyone had to replace a rear light cluster - and how much was it? Oh, and as a follow on from the Interior Light retrofit thread, does the 3 door have an upgrade for the rear interior light? i.e. with individual lights and led's? Ta!

    S3 DSG

    I could just let this lie but i won't - mainly to prove that i can admit when i'm wrong. According to this months Evo, the R-Tronic isn't a development of DSG but a development of the Lambo E-Gear. Evo did query why it wasn't developed and came to the conclusion it would have cost too...

    S3 DSG

    Thought i'd drag this thread up from the recent past after visiting the R8 Configurator website which informs us that the R8 will be available with "an R-Tronic transmission. Like the R8 itself, this sequential six-speed gearbox is racing-bred, with the emphasis clearly on perfomance. Shifting...

    Having second thoughts!

    I agree that if we were all airheads who thought our cars were the best-est in the world ever and that they were better than X or Y it would be ridiculous. In general though, most posters are open eyed about the faults of their cars. I'd also say that most posters are aware of "better" cars...

    Having second thoughts!

    Apologies for treading old ground but if you can't stand the car why are you on this forum still? And no, i'm not telling you what you can and can't do, it's simply a question. With respect to the original points made, i'm not sure i go for this whole "better drivers car" guff with the 1...

    S3 DSG

    Agree with what part of your diatribe against DSG? Apologies for the confusion but you keep changing the goalposts when people post reasonable responses to your points. If you don't take the opportunity to test drive a car in the same manner as how you would drive one normally then more fool...

    S3 DSG

    I now have no faith in my car and will discard it by the side of the road. You, sir, are a riot. I don't know whether or not to fear you or laugh at you. At least i'll hear you, coming round the bend at either 4000rpm or 2000rpm depending on what the DSG is doing. All the money you saved...

    S3 DSG

    I was addressing your claims that "I'm pretty convinced they've decided that DSG and turbos simply don't mix in a sporty driving scenario." - perhaps i should have said "comment". I've never said you're making these "problems" up. What i did say was that you are trying to adapt the car to your...
