    Relocating the Battery to the boot

    Has any tried to relocate the battery to the boot? Just thought that it might improve weight distribution as the TT's battery is in the back. Any things to look out for in this seemingly simple (but I am sure there are lots of issues) mod?

    TT suspension arms fitted to my A3!!!

    Guys, just wanted to share my experience of fitting the TT suspension arms to my FWD 2.0T A3. The idea came from local trackday GTIs making this mod to make the front track wider. I checked and the A3 turns out to have arms with the same dimensions as the TT but the TT ones are Alloy instead...

    DSG reprogramming from GIAC

    Has anyone done this to their DSG cars? Price seems reasonable and looks like that there are quite a few improved features from the stock DSG http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=4297077

    Changing the steering resistance on a S5

    Guys, I am from the A3 forum and would like to ask a question for a friend of mine that has an S5. He loves the car but the steering feedback / resistance is killing him as he has just changed his car from a 335i. He feels its too light. I know that for the A3 / Mk V golfs, you can change the...

    Wheels and Offsets (Pics)

    Guys, Something i couldn't quite figure out and need your help. I have a set of RS4 reps for my A3 with ET43 offset. However, when I installed my Cayenne 6 pot calipers the wheel needed much more clearance and I had to use 10mm spacers to make everything work again. Does that mean I can go...

    My new Carbon b-pillars and door inserts...or is it...??

    I originally wanted to order the OSIR carbon B pillars and have the door inserts custom made with Carbon fibre as well. However, the price is very high at over US$700. I am really against using carbon stickers as its really Cheezy and really not suited for an Audi... But, I found this stuff...

    Sad Day for my A3...

    Hello, Last Saturday I parked at a local underground car park. 2 hrs later, I returned and I found this... Somehow the glass on my Sky roof broke. There are no traces of things falling off from the celing and the CCTV in the carpark was broken at the time (very unlucky) so nobody knew...

    Phone Prep - Retro fit?

    Dear All, I live in a place where the only option you get when buying an A3 is the colour... (and an engine choice of 3.2Q, 2.0T, or 1.8T but that's it!) I have heard from this forum that the Phone prep is a great feature to have. It is possible to retro fit such a feature? Does it have...

    Adding a Multifunction Steering Wheel

    I have purchased my car without the MFSW but would like to install one now. Once the steering wheel is installed, how do I activate it? Do I have to use VAG com and change the MFSW settings or do I need more parts and/or changes? Much appreciated!:)
