    Door lock problem, advice please?

    I've already gave it a good saoking with WD40, but still no joy. Is it spring loaded, as it seems like it isnt getting forced fully open when i open the door. Does anyone know if it is easily replaced, and what the exact part name is?

    Mileage from a 1.8T

    'Stuck' was probably a bit harsh of a word! :-) I fancied a S3, but that looks to have been put on hold now. The convertible is a great car, it's just it doesnt get that much use in Sunderland, hardly the warmest place on earth! :-)

    Door lock problem

    I have a 2003 A4 Cabriolet, and have a problem with the drivers door lock. When i get out of the car and close the door the door just rebounds back, as the door locking mechanism has shut. Under investigation when you open the door, the lock itself doesnt retract fully in the door to the open...

    Strange noise, help???

    I have a 2003 A4 1.8T Convertible just coming up to 80,000 miles, and have an intermittent noise coming from what I can only explain as the external exhaust type area. It only happens when you turn the car over, or switch the engine off. I can best describe it as a if something is stuck and is...

    1.8T, 2.4 or 3.0???

    Thanks very much for that advice, I've sort of made my mind up about the 1.8T engine, without actually driving any. Probabaly end up missing some of the smoothness, with me driving a 6-cyclinder BMW engine at the moment. My reasons I guess are down to running costs, mainly insurance, I'm pretty...

    1.8T, 2.4 or 3.0???

    Yeah, the 01 plates cars was refering to the BMW's. Plenty of cheapish 1.8T's and 2.4's about, and the odd 3.0 just creaping into that price range, so a little wary of if something is dodgy about them? Any extras that are worth looking out for, sound systems, heated seats etc etc?

    1.8T, 2.4 or 3.0???

I will be purchasing the manual models, probly in the Sport model. Need to know runnings costs, real world MPG etc. I currently drive a 2.5l BMW 3-series...

    High Milage S3's

    I had noticed that a lot of advertised S3's where remapped to 265bhp, what exactly does this do when you come to insure the car. A lad I work with has a TT 225 and was considering a remap, but he claims that he wouldn't have been able to insure it? I'm 30 years old, have six points, the car...

    High Milage S3's

    Looking at purchasing an S3 is a little while and just wondered about your thoughts on high milage examples currently on sale, for example I have seen two 2001 models, one with 50k on the clock and the other with 120k on the clock, a 2001 model with all the bits with 120k on the clock can be...

    180 v's 225

    What's the main differences, looking to move to Audi shortly, and fancy either a TT or an S3 (undecided as yet), but was curious as to what the main differnces between the two models are, is it just the engine?

    New to Audi and considering an S3!!!

    I currently own a BMW 323 SE Saloon, and am looking to change the car very soon. Looking at something a bit smaller, but something a lot faster and better handling, these frosty mornings don't really agree with the back end of the BMW with my heavy right foot!!!! Without going into much...
