    Strange tyre wear - any idea?

    The drivers side is worn too - out and in but the OSF is particularly bad on the inside. It's like a flat ridge has appeared that's slowing balding the inner wall.

    Strange tyre wear - any idea?

    got this strange wear on my OSF tyre. I've had the wheels aligned about 6 months ago but that hasn't really helped. I imagine pot holes or crap roads have maybe knocked the slignment out but wondering if it is someting else. I now need to get new fricken tyres as the fronts are badly worn.

    Part repair timeline

    Anyone know of such a thing? I've been on a roll recently after a few things needing fixed/replaced and looking to find out what could be next due to its age! I know there's probably a few factors to this like how hard its been driven/amount of mileage etc. I have a 2006 2T Quattro at 78k...

    Emission Control light on (S3)

    Got my girlfriend to take it in today as I've a good relations with the guys at the garage and I've been in every week for the past few weeks LOL. :unsure: They've done a scan and they're saying it is the DV. I had this replaced a few months ago and bought a replacement one from a user on here...

    Emission Control light on (S3)

    Mine appeared on Saturday. I'm now on a roll - third thing to happen in as many weeks! I hope this time its not serious. Mine is the 2.0T engine and like you most if the issues on the board are for diesels. Going in for a scan as soon as I can get it out to garage. Engine wasn't lumpy or lacking...

    Variator cover - what's this then.

    I thought this was a bit random too. Nobody got any experience of having this replaced etc? Google doesn't seem to have had many problems with it either.

    Is it worth £10k...

    If it had FSH I reckon you would be close to £8k or more at a push maybe. Good spec with Bose, Satnav, leather, DAB etc.

    Hi mate. This looks good and for the price, be rude not to purchase as always wanted to do this wee mod. How long did it take to fit? Cheers, slax.

    Coolant Warning

    Mine has been doing this also. It started when it got really cold. Done all the checks and everything looks fine. The light disappears after a few minutes and doesn't come on at all sometimes. Hopefully get it in on the 4th to get sorted. By the sounds of it, it is a common issue, I take it is...

    My first semi detail

    2 things I need to sort and I hope one of you guys can help me with. I didn't touch the pipes as I have never had any luck with getting these to shine up. What would be the best to use to get these looking sweet? Also I rubbed off the decimal point in the 2.0, put it somewhere safe, forgot...

    tuning the 2.0TFSI quattro DSG

    Ooooft at £2250.00 thats a lot of notes! I'm also looking into a map on my 2T. Considering the milder Bluefin but tempted by the Revo. Not heard of this other BSR dongle - be interested to anyones experience on that.

    My A3 is now gone and we now have an R32.

    Nice! My brother bought a 5 door in silver 2 months ago. He is fanatical over it. Much better in the 5 door than the 3 in my opinion! He stayed away from the blue but I prefer it. Amazing sound!

    Strange one this - Concert Audi CD unit

    My bird 'accidentally' put a CD in the front loader when there was already a CD in the unit. It won't eject but don't know why the unit took the second CD anyway. I presumed this was a quick job to fix but Audi Edinburgh (could be a warranty job) told me other wise and they could have to replace...

    A3 2.0 T fsi S line Special Edition any good?

    I have a 2.0TFSI SB Quattro manual. Doesn't have the ooomph of my subaru but the refinement is sooo much better! Will remap once the warranty is up I reckon. My car has one of those sun visors in the parcel shelf - it's a ****** nuisance! Keeps popping up at every opportunity. Going to have to...

    Just about to buy a Sportback 2.0 T FSI quattro S-Line

    Picked up my Sportback on Friday. Drove back from north of Bristol to Edinburgh and could have kept going!! ha ha. Enjoying the rattle free/smooth/refined drive - my Subaru was a harsh ride and loud inside (and out :) ). Looking forward to giving it some up north. Really enjoying it so far and...
