Can somebody who has the interior light pack with the rear interior and map lights check two things for me? 1) Do they come with the red LEDs built in like the front ones? 2) Is the part number 8E0 947 111 A 6PS (Soul black without Open Sky) I'm ordering up some of the LED bits for another...

Thanks to matt beating me on a recent ebay item i've just saved about €194. I was bidding on a set of S3 vents and would have gone up to €200. Managed to sort myself out with a set on Friday for the princely sum of €5.97. I also got myself a pair of small vents for the top of the dash at no...

I assume some of you have seen the press releases covering VW's tie-up with Google for 3D navigation in future vehicles. I've managed to get my own version of it. Check this out.... Here's a quick video of it in operation. It's a bit bouncy, but you'll see the blue arrow...

My brother is getting the following error on his MkV GTI and I can hear boost being dumped while he accelerates. Has anybody had a similar problem with their 2.0 TFSI? Does he just need to replace the dump valve?

Just a quick question that I'm hoping somebody can answer. In the process of investigating a new mod and need to know what bulbs are in the following places: dome light map lights footwell lights glovebox light number plate lights rear courtesy lights vanity mirror lights interior boot...

Now that I've decided not to buy the S3 I have another couple of mods in mind. I really liked the ride height on the S3 so would be interested in lowering my car to the same level or slightly lower. I'm also looking at some 10mm spacers to finish it off. I was looking at the DPM site and...

Does anybody have a list of the differences in standard equipment or styling, etc, between the MY07 and MY08 S3s? The reason I ask is that the S3 my dealer is trying to sell me is a MY07 model. It was only registered in May 2008, but it was a MY07 build. If there are a lot of differences I...

Finally got my hands on my FBMFSW last night and installed it almost immediately. It's amazing how much sportier the car feels with the FB wheel. The wheel is a DSG one so I'm hoping to be able to assign some other function to the flappy paddles. Here's some before and after shots...

I was over at my parents' house this afternoon waiting for my brother arrive down with my new FBMFSW (I got it delivered to him during the week) and got a bit bored, so I decided to have a go at getting the Coming Home & Leaving Home Lights to work. My car didn't have them from the factory and...

As some of you may have read before I've been looking for a way to disable my electric windows to stop passengers from opening the windows and scratching my tints. I never open the windows - even before I got the windows tinted - and there's been nobody in the passenger seat since I got them...

I'll hopefully be going along to the GTI-NI event on July 5th with Boydie and some other chaps and was thinking of giving the car a good clean beforehand. Can anybody recommend any good products - polish, wax, that kind of thing? I'm not after anything that costs £1000 a litre - just something...

From July 1st Vehicle Registration Tax over will be based on CO2 emissions rather than engine size. Road Tax is also changing to a CO2 based system for all new cars registered from July 1st. Audi have just announce the new pricing for all models. Most of the diesels have gone down while some...

I was over with my local VW\Audi dealer on the way home from work. They opened in December but were operating both dealerships out of the VW showroom, but just this past week have opened up in a dedicated Audi showroom and finally got their full range into it. They had a basic 1.8T A3 Cab in...

I've often wondered where some of your usernames have come from. Obviously some are nicknames or car model names, registration numbers, and even one football club. The less adventurous of us just stick to our real names - like me - but there are some others which must have a story behind them...

A point was raised in the Car Colour thread about most members on here being company car owners rather the private buyers. What better way to resolve than with a simple poll.

With a little help from Nigel I got my RS4 start button installation completed on Sunday. I've documented the entire procedure and have posted it here: http://audiretrofit.quinlivan.net I've also put the notes from my PhatNoise instalation up. I'll add other stuff to the site as more mods...

Some of you chaps have retrofitted cruise contol into your A3s. Do you know what I need to order? ETKA lists the stalk as 8P0 953 513 D 9B9 - "switch for turn signal, main and dipped beam, flasher switch for lights, parking light, cruise control system" - and 8P0 953 512 A 6PS - "trim, lower...
