    Wipers - strange behaviour

    Last week my wipers stopped working totally. I got near home, and had to stop at a garage to clear the windscreen. I turned off the engine and got some cloth etc, when I re-started they worked just fine! Any ideas what may have happened? Thanks Lapchien

    Swing lights for driving in Europe

    I've searched for this but can't find an easy answer. I'm taking my 06 3-door with Xenons to Italy in August and I want to know if the lights can be swung to the right to save using those horrible little conversion stickers (they get very very hot when on the light and they look sh1t as well).

    Default DIS display?

    Whenever I start up my A3 I get the navigation display in the DIS, and I have to click it over 3 times to get back to the 'normal' temp, miles remaining etc display. Can you set the DIS so that it displays this latter view by default, instead of the NAV each time? Thanks Lapchien

    Replace Rear Wiper Blade - How?

    Can anyone describe how to replace the rear wiper blade? Seems pretty tight and if I pull any harder I'm sure I'll bust something...

    First 'proper' mod (but tame!)

    Been an expensive week - 2nd variable service at Audi Birmingham, followed by 2 new F1's on the front. So, after longing after them for a while I decided to fit some new model rear lights to my 06 3.2 - they look gorgeous compared to the old ones!

    Quattro Tyre Replacement

    My front 2 need replacing, there's 6 months left on the rears, do I need to replace all 4 at once, or can I do the 2 fronts now and the rear 2 in a few months? Thanks Lapchien

    Long European Drive

    Had my 3.2 for a few months now, just got back from driving it down to Italy and back, through the Alps and right up to the max on the autobahn :sign_omg: Perfect drive - didn't miss a beat. Just perfect. Anyone else drive on the continent?

    iPhone 3.0 - differences?

    I updated my iPhone to software version 3.0 last week, since then I've been able to stream music over the bluetooth from my iPhone. Not sure that I was able to do it before, but has anyone else noticed this change?

    Security

    Had my 06 3.2 for 2 weeks now, it's got the 'normal' security factory fit alarm system, but was wondering what, if anything, you guys did for any extra protection..?

    Rear View Mirror

    Had my 06 3.2 DSG for over a week now. Noticed tonight that I had a crappy rear view mirror - i.e. one that you have to dip yourself! My last A3, a 1.9 tdi 130 SE had an auto dipping mirror, which was great. Can the mirror be replaced? Is it a stealer job? Only ever had grief with swapping...

    Card holder wont come out

    I recently had bluetooth phone prep retrofitted, and since then the card older seems to be jammed in - apart from going back to the fitters, can I prize it open to fix? Any ideas why it might be stuck?

    Cigarette lighter

    Is it possible to replace the cigarette lighter with a sort of rubber cap with '12v' on it? I'm sure I've seen that somewhere. Hate the cigarette image looking at me from the console!

    Another RNS-E TV question...

    Hi, yesterday I took delivery of a 2 1/2 year old A3 3.2 S-Line S-tronic with toys, 'upgrading' from an 02 plate 1.9 tdi 130, so I'm still sort of in dream land at the moment! My nav unit doesn't have TV, and the navigation dvd is 2006. A couple of questions (apologies if been asked before)...
