Hi, Not sure if it really is a prob, but I think my Climate Control has stopped regulating - if I switch on 'Auto', as I normally would when using the CC it starts of with a few bars on the display and kicks in after a few seconds to start regulating the temperature in the car. Well, it...

Took a few more pics Today of the li'l A3.....it must be the sun that just forces me to start pointing the lens... :sm4:

Howdy all, I chucked the car in at work (VW) Yesterday for its MOT, which it passed <phew> with flying colours, and plenty of comments on the wheels :cool: However, one off the things they pointed out, as they're unable to get the full information regarding my vehicle on the system at work...

Howdy Folks, I'm looking to drop the car, modestly, as I have to confront a sloped lane/drive everyday - therefore can't slam it unfortunately. After having the 19's fitted, I just feel I need to fill that gap slightly, but as the car's sitting on S-Line suspension at the moment, I reckon...

So, now that I've got the new rims on, AND cleaned it this week - boy, did that feel good - I thought I'd post up some new pics of how it looks. The wheels have now been washed and a coat of Poorboy's Wheel Sealant applied : ...and a couple of rim close-ups...

19"er's : Finally, after about six months of surfing the net, scratching my head, and losing sleep over it, I came to finding the wheels I wanted for my motor..... ....and before you say it, I know, the car needs lowering - that's stage 2 (hopefully won't be too long in the future)...

Hmmm....I need help making a decision. What would you choose between 18" wheels, and 19's ?...and what difference would 19's make to my car, ie. ride height, comfort, etc ? Thanks in advance

So, it looks like I've finally welcomed myself to the wonderful world of creaks! It's the centre console - the plastic where the ciggie lighter sits. You can definitely tell if you were to squeeze the area where you can stick yer change (next to the ciggie lighter). I was in fact pressing...

I chucked the car in for a major service today, and all went well....well, pretty much. The only things that came up with probs were the brake fluid needing changing, and the rear wiper washer thing not working. The wiper works, just not the washing fluid thing. Would this fail on an MOT...

Anybody riding on 18x8.0" rims with an offset of ET42 ? I'm currently scanning around for a new set off wheels before I go lowering the car, and was wondering how these look, and if there is, or will be, any rubbing issues....and also if I'll need spacers. Thanks in advance :sm4:

Anybody else getting this ? It's fairly random, but have found that it's mainly since the temperature's dropped (had it before the snow) : Basically, the car usually sits on 800 rpm, but has decided to increase to 1000 rpm at random moments AFTER I've driven off and pulled up at lights, or...

Well, since having the week off, and hence having plenty of time to work harder on the car, I've finally seen progress in the paint. This morning I finished the weeks work by completing the three hour stint on claying the wheels Yesterday by polishing back with SRP and sealing with Poorboy's...

Maaaan, this car's a beast, referring to the toughness off the paint. Once again I used the Lambswool bonnet with the Makita, and gave it a blast of Menzerna Power Gloss. Once this was done, I then went over with the 3m Polisihing Pad, plus Menzerna Intensive Polish. This was then finished...

Well, thanks to Elite for getting me my claying kit so quickly, I was able to go ahead and give the car what it REALLY needed Today. Reason behind : I had washed the car for the first time last week (only had it for two), and when I tried to polish it afterwards the cloth wouldn't budge on...

It's been a sad day to see the joy of my life, for the past four years, be handed over in part-ex Today, but it's time to move on to my new 'project'.... :rock:

At long last - it's been a looong six/seven months of hunting for the right A3 (I'm a fussy git!), and Yesterday I finally found one. Here's a side-shot I stole from the dealers site : It's the 2.0 TDi S-Line (140) on an '07 plate. All I want now is for next Saturday to hurry up ...

Could you refresh me on the common probs that I should be looking out for ? ...and also, this car has 69k on the clock. When I spoke to the bloke at the garage he advised me that the timing belt hasn't been changed as it's only due at either 80k or 4 years, whichever comes first. Now...

Has anybody removed roof rails on an A3 ? It's just that I've seen one that I quite like, but I'm not a fan of roof rails and was wondering if they're easy enough to remove; and if so will they leave any marks etc. ? Thanks

What are your opinions regarding the DSG system in the A3 ? Any 'fors' and 'againsts' regarding it ? It's just that I'm still on the hunt for an A3 Sportback S-line (2.0 TDi), and there seems to be a few coming up, but they're classed as either automatic/auto clutch/S Tronic. I understand...

Just a quick question : how are phone cradles attached to the A3 ? I'm looking at one at present, and it seems to be fitting flush to the dash (to the bottom left of the vents). It says in the description that it's "GSM Mobile Telephone Preparation". The thing is, I wouldn't want it, but...
