    Liquid/pump noise when ignition on

    I only hear it when I have the air con on low and no radio, makes a pouring liquid sort of sound like fuel or something is travelling through the pipes. I just thought as long as all the operational aspects of the car are ok and no leaks, etc its just how the car is.

    Smashed Wing Mirror!!!

    I am not doubting your words :) I only have the standard option on mine; heated and electronically controlled which cost me £25-30 from Audi.

    Liquid/pump noise when ignition on

    Same here, I turn the car on but not the engine and hear the liquid noise. Then when it is on and I stop at traffic lights for example it makes some liquid like noises, I just assume the car is doing its thing.

    Smashed Wing Mirror!!!

    I think he means the mirror is damaged but the actual cover is fine. I've had the same thing; smashed to pieces mirror and scratched cover (they are pretty tough:)). Nip down to your local Audi and ask for the mirror, it cost me £25-30 about 2 years ago. The fitting is fairly logical, because...

    Nice courtesy car from audi cardiff

    From the way that front bumper looks it is a modification from the older bumper to a single grill. Have to say the wheels and 4 exhausts on a TDI for 14k, no way! I'm selling a silver 06 s line tdi dsg if you're interested ^^

    buying a3 ap advise please

    The big front grille came in around late 2004. Sportback refers to the car whereas S line is the style kit you get with it. Imo without the S line the A3 looks pretty bland.

    Operation Safe Car

    A friend had them security posts and parked his old car behind his S4 so no one could get in. Kept it up for about a year and a half then one day arrived late with the S4 behind the old car in day light. Next thing about 4 guys with axes and bats storm through demanding the keys. The rest is...

    Which 2.0 Diesel to go for?

    The 1.9 diesel lacks serious power, on motorway driving a 2.0 140 would be much better. If you were going for the 1.8T then I would have to say there is no big advantage to not get the 2.0T. Does a Peugeot really come into the equation over an Audi? I have the 140 S line with DSG, it gets...

    S3 to get 7 speed S-Tronic

    Common sense would suggest if it is in the TT-S then it is possible to be in the S3, Audi won't say yes until it is actually out ~ to do with their marketing.

    Smashed Sat Nav Screen

    My friend managed to smash his MK5 Golf R32 Sat Nav screen, all the functions work and the radio still plays you just can't see the screen. Am I right in thinking the whole thing needs replacing? or is it just the screen? As I can't find the screen only anywhere!

    How To Check Whether It is a S-Line?

    I have an 06 TDI S line and it is registered as Sport. The reason is that the modifications stop at Sport (i.e. the suspension) and the rest is cosmetic so when it is registered it doesn't need to be S Line. The way to tell the difference is to check everything an S line would have, includes...

    Buying a A3 TDI 2.0 - Common Faults?

    Right, because it is maximising fuel economy.

    Buying a A3 TDI 2.0 - Common Faults?

    Not always. Often it would stay in gear i.e 4th around 40-45 instead of going into third and then quickly restore to the right gear, it does not push as hard as S mode/manual does. Not massively economical but it does behave differently from S mode for fuel economy, that was the point of the...

    Buying a A3 TDI 2.0 - Common Faults?

    Right, have you read the manufacture figures and compared a manual box to the DSG? Check the figures. I can't say I have used the manual mode on DSG as it changes gear itself when you go down and having to constantly watch the DIS is tiresome:scared2: The D mode is optimized for maximum...

    Buying a A3 TDI 2.0 - Common Faults?

    Looking at getting a a3 3.2 quattro s-line (Newbie)

    What's your budget? If you are going for a Sportback you can get them cheaper than the 3 door as you can see with that one. The big differences between the two is the 3.2 has the quattro system, more road tax and no turbo lag. The T is FWD and costs less in tax. The S line kit stays the same.
