    Interior light fuse

    Hi all, Well I'm having a mare of a day. Been changing my interior lights for leds and what a ballache! Was doing the last one, the glove box. I wasn't going to bother as it's so tight but thought sod it and I think I've blown a fuse. Any one know which one to change, the manual isn't clear...

    Hi All, Just need to know what oil to use on my S3 which is on an annual service? I have contacted my local Audi dealer but they never return my calls! I have some oil from when it was a long life service (think it's 5-30) but last service I had it changed to annual. Any recommendations...

    Potential new S4 owner...

    Hi all, Haven't been on here for a while, but need some advice as I feel like it's time for me to trade in the S3(8L) and look for something bigger, and the S4 saloon seems to tick the right boxes. BMW M3 and 335i have also crossed my mind, but just not sure if I want to own a BMW?! Just...

    VAG COM - where to buy?

    Thinking about buying VAG COM, and looking on the internet there seems to be a real difference in price and suppliers. Don't want to buy it off ebay (for instance) to find that it isn't right, or isn't the complete kit. If you could point me in the right direction, and give me a bit of advice...

    Slow acceleration - Diverter valve???

    Hi Guys, Got a quick query... I just had my diverter valve replaced at Audi. On the drive home the car seemed fine (all motorway). But when I drove it the following day the acceleration seemed quite 'flat'. It seems ok up to 3k RPM anything over that it just seems flat, as if I'm not getting...

    Thermostat issue?

    I’ll try and keep a long story short... Basically, about 5 months ago my dash temp gauge was playing up a bit, taking longer than normal to get to 90˚ (if at all), then on faster journeys (motorways) it would dip, then when sitting in traffic it would go back up again. Previous to this it...

    Looking to treat my arches, so have just ordered some All Seasons Dressing with the matching sprayer bottle. The question I have, can I/should I dilute the product? if so what ratio, or should I just spray on neat? Also, once I have sprayed the product on, should I wipe over with a cloth to...

    Wax

    Quick couple of questions regarding waxes. I have just taken delivery of some P21s carnuba wax, and was wondering how best to store it? is keeping it in a cool garage ok? (I've heard of people keeping it in the fridge!) Also, does the wax need to be warmed before applied, if so how warm? There...

    Removing wax, sealant etc

    I need to remove the sealant and wax I currently have from my bumper so that it can go to the bodyshop to be re-sprayed (****** stonechips!). Can anyone recommend an easily available product to do this? Would Auto Glym SRP do it? Or would SRP put another layer of protection on it? Thanks Ps I...

    Auto Glym SRP, EGP then Natty's blue wax?

    Spent a while cleaning the other half's car at the weekend. I used Auto Glym's Super Resin Polish, then applied Extra Gloss Protection. Will probably apply another layer of EGP next week. I was thinking of getting and applying some Natty's Blue Wax to help improve the finish, but just wanted...

    Auto Glym

    Thought I would make the most of Halfords 3 for 2 Auto Glym deal and purchase some SRP and EGP. I have read that applying more than one coat of EGP enhances the shine, but to leave 24 hours between each coat, now the chances are the car (not my own) will get dusty in 24 hours, so what is the...

    Detailing outside

    Just a quick question - can you still get good results from detailing the car outside? I'm going to get my car detailed but don't have a big enough garage for the work to be carried out in, so will probably have to be done on the drive. Hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance...

    Potholes

    Not wanting to hijack another thread on here at the mo, I thought I'd start this one. I have used this site a couple of times and the response was pretty quick (fixed within a week or so). I think it is mainly aimed at cyclists, but if you have some nasty potholes on your usual journey, may be...
