This week in Autocars news snippets they announced that there will be two new engines available for the 3 door A3 from November. The said the engines were the 2.0 T FSI and the 2.0 TDI ?????? As I've been driving around in a 3 door 2.0 TDI for over a year it's obviously wrong but what did they...

Just put some of this on a tyre to try it out, a week later it had spread itself all over the wheel. Is there a special technique needed to apply this stuff ?

As per previous post, I am in the process of fitting an armrest to a New A3 (8P model). I went to the dealer today to look at a car with the armrest fitted, as predicted there is a special nut needed to hold it in place. Problem being the nut is not on ETKA and Audi UK Technical claim that you...

Struggling to find the correct nut fixing for the armrest bolt. Have been to dealer twice, ETKA diagram is about as clear as mud. Have already got one wrong part, another one on order and I am not confident it is the right part. If there is someone out there that has a New A3 with armrest, a...

Anyone done this, tried it, know how its done ? Wiring diagram on back of the unit shows the connections but they do not work, is it a VAG COM thing ?

Took my car (new A3 2.0 TDI) to the dealer today to have the ECU reflashed, in the process they managed to trash the ECU. To add insult to injury there is a shortage of ECUs at the moment.

I am organising the design & manufacture of an upgraded air filter for the new A3. It will be a drop in replacement for the standard paper filter but will be far superior. With the extended service intervals on the new A3 by the time your service comes around your paper filter will be...

Anyone have a clue how you get the sidelight bulb out of the light assembly. Main beam bulb is easy but the sidelight seems to be jammed in with a rubber bung and it is impossible to get a good grip on it. Is there a trick to this, is there a special tool or do Audi employ very strong small...

Copy from Autoexpress website: Blade Bug Attacks A3 In the current wintry weather, the last thing you want is dodgy wipers. But we've learned that's exactly what some new Audi A3 owners are experiencing. Karen Ostler, who lives in Solihull, West Midlands, told us: "The wipers on my car run...

When I started my A3 (new 2.0 TDI) this evening, the DIS had lost all it's history, the clock had reset itself to a random time & the radio had gone into SAFE mode. Any suggestions as to the cause ?

Filled up this evening with Ultimate Diesel, its awesome, much better pick-up. Would be interesting to find out exactly what increase in power it gives. Anyone able to dyno a car with a before and after to give a real (rather than perceived) view ?

Anyone thinking of trying BP Ultimate Diesel be warned, make sure you get the right pump. I learn't the hard way, stupid mistake (and costly) but I am not the first one to do it and I am sure I won't be the last.

I find the sports seats in the new A3 (8P) very uncomfortable, they do not have enough thigh support. I am therefore considering replacing the drivers seat with a Recaro seat but so far have hit a brick wall as far as advice is concerned. Recaro UK do have an Audi specfic replacement seat (with...
