Thats a great picture, and I think I can see the area which I need to press out. Is your car the facelifted one, as I think the boot skin design is slightly different pre face lift? It looks like it should be quite easy to gain access anyway. Thankyou. DM

Hi All, I have a 2002 A3 and someone has put a deep scrape in the boot. It’s actually dented as well as scratched in the area just to the right of the number plate. Does anyone know if that area is double skinned, i.e. would I be able to get behind and push out the dent? Cheers DM

Someone else might have already spotted this but, in What Car magazine for Feb 04 in the new car bit page 5 there is a picture of what appears to be the new RS3. The article has the title Audi A3 5Dr, but if you look close at the grill you can see a RS3 badge. It looks like a baby RS4, 9...

I had a BMW once which did this when the battery ran down to a certain level. After a bit of investigating from my garage they replaced the alarm and it hasnt happend again! The BMW shut all the windows when you arm the alarm, if the A4 does this also maybe this is your problem. OR, I have an...

That sounds fair, I am happy as long as they give me the option. Thanks for your info. DM

Thing that worried me was this text which I found on the Privilege web site under Motor -> Claims info "If the damage to your car is covered, we'll even arrange for one of our network repairers, to collect your car, repair it and return it back to you cleaned inside and out."

There was an add in the Telegraph a while back from BMW saying that if your car does need work done on it post accident you can tell the insurance company who repairs it as long as you get a couple of quotes. Does anyone know this to be true by UK law or does it differ from one insurance...

Is lemmon an acid? I would'nt go putting it direct onto your paintwork, lemmon smelling car wash liquid might be your best bet.

That 3 l engine is blisteringly quick, was shooting between roundabouts (all within the speed limits of course i.e. < 60) and ended up with the 330D on my left down a stretch of dual carriageway, was using the torque band but to no avail it just pulled away. It was like he was toying with me...

Not sure about how to sort the paint but hows about attaching the gadget which electrifies an electric fence to your car. Make sure nobody gets close to it when its armed though as there is a guy in my local area who did this with his Cosworth a while ago, but he wanted it to stop car theifs...

Just found out the above A3 has GmbH suspension package, lowered by 20mm, stiffened and with a wider track. This all comes as standard with the models in the sport range excluding 1.6 and 1.9TDi 100bhp models.

Not sure about how to get the knob off, but I can tell you that mine is leather, but that probably comes with the .5 leather pack mine has.

I did have a look at the meet board and was pondering popping along to see what goes on, although mid weeks aren't usually good for me as I am doing stuff most nights, will have to check nearer the time. By the way, what does go on at a meet? Last one I stumbled across was some Nova boys in...

Thanks all, think I will be keeping the car for a while so might edge on the side of caution and get it done. Will ask the dealer for their approval just incase they do get funny about the warranty further down the road. fatcat, that is one big service interval, I thought I was taking it easy...

My car (A3 130PD) has done 5K miles and I was thinking about getting an oil change to clear all the crap which is probably floating around inside it after having run it in. I am on a variable interval and my next visit is about 14K miles, I think that might be a bit long to be driving around...

Thanks lads for all your thoughts, specially interesting what danksy had to say about the TLC for your modded motor, sounds like a sound move. Thinking about the service interval, do the more powerful 150 VAG diesels have fixed intervals, if not why move to a fixed interval? Is it because the...

Thanks for the welcome fatcat Think I will check with Audi for a date when I can get the work done by Abt without having to worry about warranty. Alas I still have most of my 3 years left so am a bit worried about shortning it to 12 months or whatever the others provide. Insurance wise 15%...

Hi, I have a A3 TDi 130 Sport and was thinking about getting it chipped, going by what I have read in a few of the posts on this site its well worth it. I have a couple of questions, fist does anyone have any idea of what sort of % increase I should expect to see in my insurance, and also...
