    Sad day....

    I did actually want an A4 avant, but couldn't find a decent diesel for under £3k! In fact very slim pickings for diesel estates under £3k! I was really surprised, I thought I'd find loads of decent 1.9TDI A4 Avants for £1,500 + Is it to do with this sCRAPpage scheme that people are just...

    Sad day....

    Thanks guys. Yes FRENCH! I got a fantastic deal on one and it means that I will have no debts as it is being bought with the equity from the Audi. It is one with the keycards, but it has 2 new ones so should be OK!

    Sad day....

    Today is a sad day, I am selling my A3 and replacing it with a Renault Laguna Estate....:bye: My wife and I had a little girl 3 weeks ago and have come to realise that the A3 Sportback we bought to cope with a child is just not big enough day to day... We do a couple of trips to the continent...

    HELP S3/A3 brake swap

    I don't know, but I would imagine the rears will need different hubs because the S3 is 4WD and will have a different rear axle to a 2WD A3.

    Dual Mass Flywheel Help - Under warranty

    Coldsteel, my car is making almost the same nosie, but it has only just started and only makes it when the engine & weather are hot. I.e. drive down to the shops on a hot day - no problem. Drive around the New Forest for 2 hrs in 25C+ and it exhibited exactly the same symptoms as you describe...

    Rear View Mirror

    Sorry to Hijack - NHN if you have the auto-dim RVM, is the wiring already in place for the side mirrors? Or would it be a big ol' job?

    1.9TDI Clutch Judder

    To the OP: If you just have a judder if you "rest" your foot on the pedal at idle, I believe this is normal, mine does it, and so have the two TDI loan cards I've had from Audi. I posted about it when I first got mine and everyone told me it was normal. But if you get the judder when moving...

    Child seat - which one??

    Just my 2p worth mate, my wife and I are expecting and we have bought the Maxi-cosi Cabriofix with the easyfix (ISOFix) base. We also bought one of the Quinny Pushchairs (Speedy I think) which the seat clips into, is nice and light and folds up small, fits perfectly in our 8P A3 SB and my Mk4...

    ipod dock not workin with new nano Help!!

    It really is the manufacturers like Audi at fault, but they are certainly not the only ones! Apple specs for the last 3 generations of iPods have used the new pinout, but have also supported the old ones for backward compatibility. Apple have done as they promised and dropped the backward...

    ipod dock not workin with new nano Help!!

    Apple have changed the charging pins, they swapped to new ones ages ago, but the latest range of iPods do not support the original ones any more. Same problem with my iphone 3G with my Sony in the Golf, but my old Ipod nano was fine. Known problem I'm afraid...

    URGENT: Smoke from steering wheel

    Right guys, just to keep you updated... We got the car backjust over a week ago (life has been too busy to post before now!!), and they have replaced the switch units in the MFSW (not the whole wheel). They say they cannot find a reason why but the switches on the right-side (volume/SDS) were...

    URGENT: Smoke from steering wheel

    OK, quick update... Audi originally said they could not find anything wrong and suggested us having the car back to see if it had now gone away... yeah, OK!!! I insisted I didn't want it back until they had found the fault, so the serrvice manager took the car home overnight and brought it...

    URGENT: Smoke from steering wheel

    Interesting, but surely the source of the smoke would be in the ignition switch rather than coming through the steering wheel buttons after driving for 30 mins?

    URGENT: Smoke from steering wheel

    Unfortunately I am about 100 miles away from the car at the moment and Audi are being useless! She is useless with smells and said "it smells like smoke!" TBH my first reaction was airbags so told her to sit in the back of the car rather than the front!! The tech has called her and said...

    Hi Guys, been browsing the site for a while, but I need some assistance! My wife has just called to say that whilst driving, smoke started coming out of the steering wheel, specifically through the volume wheel on the steering wheel controls. She stopped straight away , got out of the car and...

    Vibration Question

    I find you can feel it if you were to "rest" your foot on the clutch pedal, effectively taking up the 5mm or so of slack travel at the top. You can then feel a little vibration from the engine.
