    Cleaning stuff bargain!

    The only things that I would keep from that little, well large lot would be the ScratchX and the Foam pads, I suppose the shampoo isn't to bad.. As for tyre gel, the Zaino Z16 is the mutts nuts, it like milk, goes on well with a sponge and last for ages, and doesn't fling up the side of the car...

    what tyres? a4 170 quattro

    The Vredesteins are great in the dry, but pants in the wet, had them on my TT, always use Vredesteins as I get 55% off.. It would be worth you getting a set of summer and winter tyres, then you will be fine all year round.. The sessantas tend to give a little then grip, so be aware of this...

    A4 TDI 170

    Turbo charged cars will always perform better on cooler days, as colder air = denser air, which gives you a better burn.. But I also appreciate what you are saying, I find my non turbo car does the same.. 14 degrees C seems to be optimum for me..

    HDMI

    HDMI = High Definition Media Interface, it is basically a new version of Scart, allows more information to be passed from say a DVD player to the TV, giving a much better picture quality, like the difference between VCR and DVD or DVD and Blueray, hope this makes sense..

    Hi all.. Looking to buy an A3, but what was wondering how a remapped diesel would compare againts a 2 lt petrol.. In standard guise there isn't a lot in it, any one got any thoughts or experiences on this one.. I like the sound of a diesel (not the actual sound) due to lower road tax and...

    your Views on Mk V R32 or 8P S3 ???

    No experience with either.. Used to have an old MK3 VR6, lovely super smooth engine, but the car fell apart around it.. How about the V6 A3, might be worth a look, a few subtle mods and you could have a lovely car.. I agree, Audi are put together much better than VW..
