Hi guys, I am a bit torn over how to play my next step. So far the Audi dealer have told me my hesitation 3k up 4/5/6th gears was due to tandem pump, thats been changed by specialist, still does the same. Audi dealer then said its probably the turbo fins worn or blocked, thats been changed by...

Hi all, I have a very bad leak, getting worse with this stupid weather coming in like a tap, its not the door cards as seems to be common so can only go on it being the sunroof, roof rail, or top of screen. The highest point I can trace the water coming in is where the head lining meets the...

Hi all, Any known issues with water in drives footwell on the A3? Notice when I lifted the mat, below the clutch/brake pedal is quite damp, cant work out if this is recent or something spilt there and not dried out. It was washed Monday but I cant see anywhere it could be leaking in from the...

Hi guys, I really hope this rings a bell with someone, recently bought my dream A3 2.0 TDi 170 Quattro, paying a lot more than I wanted. Noticed that about 3500 rpm always in 4th and occasionally in 3rd I get a slight hesitation, fine in 1st and 2nd, smooth idle, good cold start. Went in for...

Hi all, Having my car serviced on Monday and it needs an air filter, think he said its about £30 and I know its a pi55 easy job to change but felt it as easy to do all in one. Has anyone discovered an air filter than actually makes a difference or is proven to in performance? It is very...

Hi guys! I need some advice quickly on a car ive put a deposit on. After a stupid amount of time searching ive found my perfect spec A3 2.0 TDI 170 Quattro S-line. Bad news is its at Cargiant, ive read the horror stories and having been there id say its like a TK Maxx for cars, if you sift...

Hi all, In my still ongoing search for an A3 one of the things high on my list is Xenons. I liked them so much on my 8L that I really do want them again. As many of you I am sure know, Xenons are few and far between on A3's, despite being not that expensive as an option from new! So I am...

Hi guys, I was just after some feedback from people who own, or have even driven reguarly the above car. My long, but hopefully shorter term plan is to get another A3 and the best to suit my needs is the TDi 170 Quattro with S-Line spec. I have owned Golf, Bora, Golf, Polo, Jetta and another...
