    A4 Avant rear wiper on an A3

    Just a little mod I was thinking of. Does anyone know if this wiper arm will fit an A3? It looks pretty similar to me. Also if anyone knows the part number that would be great, thanks:icon_thumright:

    2.0 TDi weeping oil, pics inside...

    What is this pipe that is weeping oil? When I bought the car, Audi Bromley had left the oil cap off when I took it for a test drive, so the foam on the underside of the engine cover was soaked in oil. It's always weeped oil in the area pictured. I don't know if its from the pipe or...

    Odd cruise control fault

    Was on the M40 and clicked on the cruise, just sat back in my seat and I heard this sort of 'tock' noise, like the sound when you press the door lock button. Cruise light when off and the car started slowing down, so I accelerated back up to my original speed and tried to re-activate, nothing...

    2.0 TDi cold air intake

    I remember reading a few threads on here about new intake systems for the 2.0 TDi and just read an article in this month's PVW that might be useful to some. A company called Dbilas have just released some new kits, their UK supplier is Regal Autosport, retails a £199 www.regal-auto.co.uk...

    Does any one have a guide or any useful tips about how to remove the door mirrors? They are not electrically folding ones if that makes any difference. TIA Pete

    Audi Dealer VIP Day

    Did anyone else get one of these in the post? My local dealer, Audi Tonbridge (inchcape) are doing a VIP thing at the weekend where they have "extra special deals" on all their stock offered only to people invited to the day. I'm going to pop along and see what sort of deal I can get px-ing...

    Jacking my car?!?

    So I want to rotate my tyres and give the inside of the alloys & arches a good detail. I'm planning on swapping LF with LR and RF with RR, I have a 2 tonne trolley jack and the scissor jack in the boot. What I was going to do was jack one side at a time, trolley jack at the front and scissor...

    Aquaplaning with traction control!

    I had a bit of a brown trouser moment today, after a serious downpour, rain has stopped and spray subsided. I was in lane 3, the lane-hog ahead has just moved over and I've given it a good bootful. Still on the power but easing off, and there is a puddle (lake!) across the lane and the car...

    Poxy clutches!

    So I've been researching and reading, but I've got more questions than answers now. I've got an 07 2.0 TDi with 55k on. Roughly 10k/2 months ago I had the clutch and dual mass flywheel "changed" under warranty because of the vibration on tick over issues. Now under load the clutch has started...

    A4 hire car

    I've had a 2.0 TDi Avant S-Line as a courtesy car for three days now and I think there is something wrong with it. It's an 09 with 7000 miles on, one of the last B7's I would have thought. The steering feels very very odd. Coming from an 07 A3 2.0 TDi S-Line, it feels very weighty without...

    Brake light out

    Driving along today my car pinged at me saying "left brake light out" and the alert symbol illuminated on the DIS. After about two minutes or so it went out. When I parked up I ran the systems check by pulling on the left stick in the binnacle and it didn't bring up the fault. I check all the...

    A4 Avant - Phoar!

    I've just been given an 09 as a loan car from my dealer with all the toys on, typical salesman, but what a lovely car! I'm an A3 man at the moment in S-line spec and I use it for a lot of trans-european trips, a quick squirt up the A21 today has opened my eyes to luxo-barging with compliant...

    12 Hours of Sebring, Audi R15's out-qualified by petrol sportscar!

    I thought you guys might be interested to know that the de Ferran Motorsports Acura ARX-02a has out qualified both Audi R15 TDi's and the Peugoet 908 HDi FAP's. Only by a tenth of a second but an impressive result nonetheless.

    Idling problem - 2.0 TDi

    I've noticed recently when bringing the car to a stop in neutral, just as it's almost stationary the engine starts to shudder as if it were about to stall. If I dip the clutch and return to neutral it goes away. Also the revs usually pick up a small amount, maybe 100 rpm but a noticeable swing...

    HID/Xenon questions

    Hi Guys, new user on here. I've been looking into a number of retrofit options and been quoted silly money by my main stealer. Given that they gave the car back to me last time missing wheel nuts I'm not inclined to place any more business with them but that's another matter! My...
