    Blk Edition, optional extras.

    I see you have ordered a Ibis White. Best colour in my opinion. I have a SB blk edition in ibis white and it makes the smoked wheels look even better. I like the ibis white with the glass roof becuase you get a glossy tinted roof and a black spoiler too. Worth considering :yes:

    What a day!!!

    Hazzy Days have a key supply and coding service although it is £150, but at least you know you are getting the real deal! Im sure there must be other companies out there offfering the same service. If not, can you get a key off ebay and then have the blade cut and key programed else where.

    what are these 2 buttons for?

    The top button i believe switches the interior sensors off in the alarm so you can leave a dog etc in the car. I think the lower one is to stop the alarm going off when the car is being towed. Might be wrong. Dig out the manual it has all the answers in there.

    Machine Mopping (Waxing) The Whole Car?

    Ye your right you could but you could also do a lot of damage. Not saying dont try it if you want but I would get a panel from a scrapy and practice on that first.

    Machine Mopping (Waxing) The Whole Car?

    There is nothing wrong with having your car machine polished, although it is not something you want to keep doing as each time you have it done it takes microns of lacquer off the body work. I would not try undertaking it yourself as it is not as easy as it looks. You can do alot of damage to...

    Engine Clean via Steam

    I would agree not to have the engine running if using a pressure washer as the water is cold but a steam cleaner uses steam (100 degrees) so it wont crack anything. I am not a pro but have steam cleaned a few engine bays and as long as you dont get to close with the steam nozzle in areas you...

    Engine Clean via Steam

    If it is a proper valet place then there should be no problem. You should cover up and electrical parts (battery, plugs etc) also usually helps to keep the engine running as it stays warm and dries out quickly.

    Black Edition

    Got my car back from Audi after it went in for a banging sound coming from the engine bay. I know a few people wanted to know the outcome. The sound is apparently 2 servo hoses that were banging together. It was not caused any damage. They have adjusted the positions of the pipes and have put a...

    Finally found what i'm looking for... What do you guys think?

    Agreed it does look in pretty good nick. If you can get a bit off then great but if it is the colour you want and you are happy with the spec then go for it. You will only kick yourself if you leave it a few weeks then phone him to offer full price to find he has sold it at asking price to...

    £15 A Day!! Are you having a laugh??

    I just got off the phone to the reception manager at my local audi dealership. She was very helpful and understood why I was so annoyed that they were trying to charge me. As mentioned above the reason for the charge is indeed a insurance charge. But she agreed that Audi will pay it as the car...

    £15 A Day!! Are you having a laugh??

    I have had my Black edition sportback for exactly 2 weeks now. It has just about covered 500 miles and I have got a few issues with it. The steering wheel is not straight and the engine keeps making a thumping noise at low speeds. So I phoned upto to book it in to be told that there is a £15 a...

    New Audi A3 - Paint Damaged by Valet

    Just had another thought as to why you may have only just noticed the marks once you washed it. When the car is valeted before delivery the valeters can use polishes that have 'fillers' in them. These are great for filling swirls marks and other small light blemishes so they are less noticable...

    New Audi A3 - Paint Damaged by Valet

    Firstly Audi paint work is well known for being HARD, not soft. I have spent many hours detailing cars with vag paint and it takes noticably longer to correct with a machine polisher then many other manufacturers. The damage to the paint in one of the worse I have seen in a long time. The swirl...

    He can hear the bonk noise too, so its not just in our heads. He is not sure what it is, not sure if it is clutch related or gearbox possibly. He is going to have a chat with the master tech at the garage tomorrow to find out if this is a know problem etc. He is going to get back to me when he...

My brother in law is an audi mehanic so he is going to take it for a spin tonight to see what he thinks it might be. Really hope its nothing, dont want to have to...

    Inner City DPF Problems - HELP!!!

    My Brother in Law works for Audi as a Mech and he said that when they have a car come in with the light on they just take it for a good run down the motorway. Light goes off, customers wallet left slightly lighter then before. So i would guess that you are going to be best to try and head for a...
