    2010 S3 Luggage net

    Net sold. Yes, they are a bit fiddly to attach, but once it's attached it's solid and will hold pretty much anything in place to stop it sliding around the boot.

    2010 S3 Luggage net

    James - there were four metal fixings with holes in the boot and it was just a question of pushing the plug into the holes and then twisting for the plug to lock. Peter, yes the net is still available - make me an offer. Net is here in the classifieds.

    Gaining access to washer bottle/pump

    Same problem with mine - I took the small black plastic jet off and then tried the rear washer......and it worked. I soaked the small black plastic washer jet in limescale remover for a few hours and then rinsed it and it's been fine ever since.

    Is the A3 Sportback a family car?

    My Sportback has served me well with my 5 and 9 year old since getting it 2.5 years ago. I've used a roof box with it a couple of times as well for extra space, but for general day to day tasks it does a great job.

    A3 going - bits up for grabs

    Cheers N8 - wont be in the same class as my A3 as it's only a 1.6TDi, but it will do the job and is nice and cheap on the company car tax. RNS-510 is a cracking bit of kit, so good choice :icon_thumright:.

    A3 Speedline Splitrim tyres

    I've had Conti Sport 3s up until recently and switched to Goodyear F1 Assymetrics. Got 4 delivered next day from Camskill for £398. Very pleased with the tyres - fantastic grip in the wet as well as in the dry - recommend them.

    2.0TDI (54) exhaust trim

    Dremel will do it no problem which is how I did mine. There are two welds on the bottom of each pipe which the dremel will get through no problem - just watch you dont go straight through the exhaust as well.

    New A3 owner! Pic heavy

    Not a bad car to have when you're 19 it has to be said :thumbsup:. Get yourself an RNS-E and you can have an Aux-in without too much hassle. Also the benefit of sat-nav and 2xSD Cards as well for your tunes - plenty of info on the RNS-E on this site. A facelift will transform the front end as...

    Cheap bluefin!!!

    Just to confirm Spin's comments re Bluefin. Had it on my 2.0 Tdi since 250 miles. It's now on 60k and hasn't missed a beat - very, very happy with the map and I paid the pre-discount price for it back in 2007!

    Navigation system RNS-E

    RNS-E was in when you got the car from the dealer though? If yes, the same applies above - get your dealer to recode the unit for you so you can eject the disc - either that or if you're near someone with VCDS they can recode it for you for a couple of beer tokens.

    Navigation system RNS-E

    I'm pretty certain there is a setting on VCDS that prevents the disc being ejected - it's normally done so that the dvd doesn't go 'missing' before delivery. I'm guessing yours is a new A3? If so, get the dealer to code it correctly mate so you can eject the disc - they should have done this...
