    Spare tyre and DAB

    My MY14 car (13 plate) came with a DAB radio fitted - it was listed on the invoice as a factory fitted no cost option - was a surprise to the dealer and me..!

    Was about to say - these have been being worked on for years now

    DIS - how to use

    It's probably worth noting that computer '2' doesn't run indefinitely as many people believe - it will reset once you cover over 999.9 miles, drive for longer than a certain number of hours, or use over a certain number of litres of fuel - can't remember exact figures - it is all in the manual...

    And I've only just polished it...

    Rear screen cracked too?

    Typical

    Not that it's any consolation to you, but I'd never reverse without having a look behind me - I've never come across a reverse sensor system that I fully trust, they all seem to have their moments

    Sticking alloys on the SE VS the Sline

    The SE comes with full climate control (dual zone) - at least mine did - '54 (MY05)

    Sickness at UD

    I'm guessing it doesn't get presented for it's MOT with these wheels fitted!?! As they're clearly illegal in this photo! Must agree with the comments above - I just don't get stretched tyres and it's got to be an accident waiting to happen putting that much strain on the sidewalls...

    After 12months of the standard RS4...

    I agree - I think I would have got them done in a dark grey shade rather than black as they are. The vinyl finish is amazing though :thumbsup:

    Please Help - My Car Is Bust

    I'm sure VW/Audi will argue that they don't need any more tolerance - as far as they're concerned it shouldn't be getting remapped. The Diesel SEAT Ibiza's are in the same boat - the clutches on the FR and Cupra models aren't really happy with a remap unless the torques very carefully controlled

    After 12months of the standard RS4...

    Do you have to inform Swansea if you vinyl wrap the car? Bit of a grey area I guess as the car will still be the original colour, but LOOKS like it's been resprayed

    Paint to touch up chips

    This isn't right - I got a touchup kit from Cardiff Audi last month. Base coat, top coat and a prep tool. About £5 if I remember correctly

    remap... without other mods?

    I did wonder when you said '03 plate, but figured the advice was the same anyway

    remap... without other mods?

    You will be absolutely fine on standard running gear with a Stage 1 map. If you plan to go further then you may want to start thinking about upgrading certain components, but I can't see you having any problems yet.

    £12k to spend - is the A3 the obvious choice?

    Ultimately it comes down to what you like. Personally I'd never buy a BMW because of the preconceptions I have about the people who drive them. They're undoubtedly good cars, but car choice is a very subjective thing and I don't think they're for me. If I was you, I'd get onto some...

    £150 vs £420

    The warranty will stand as long as genuine parts (or parts of an equal quality) are used and the garage that fit them is VAT registered. :)

    A few things that annoy me with the S3

    I think the difficulty is that 2nd is very long compared to first - I tend to rev a little higher in first to help it out

    A few things that annoy me with the S3

    You have to push the passenger seat back before you tilt it back - I'm pretty sure my driver's seat's the same too?

    is my car really that slow?

    If you only bought the Audi because you wanted it to be fast then you bought the wrong car. The A3 offers a lot more over a Corsa then how fast it will go.
