    Advice needed - Been suspended from work

    Exactly right, happened to me in my old job. My boss didn't like me and basically looked for a way to get rid of me. The company I worked for had an "out of date" disciplinary procedure that the fools didn't follow. In the end the disciplinary action they took against me was completely null and...

    Gap insurance & service plan ??

    I got free gap insurance from Glasgow Audi after I pestered them for some free services. They said there was no way I would get free servicing as that's a large part of their revenue, so offered me free gap insurance. I was quite happy with that considering they also knocked a grand off the...

    TDI Induction kits/Panel Filters

    170 uses piezo injectors and has extra balancer shafts (whatever they are - according to steve184 in another post)

    TDI Induction kits/Panel Filters

    Is yours a 140 or 170 Boydie? Anyone know if a panel filter for the 140 will work just as well in a 170?

    Advice needed - Been suspended from work

    If you're not directly competing with them I reckon it would be difficult to sack you for it. There might be something in your contract though that says if you are doing other work you have to let them know. They might get you for breach of contract for that. It'll really depend on what sort...

    How long would it take to get from the Audi Shipping port Germany

    My car was "awaiting ship" for a week and a half. Dealer promised to call me once it was in the UK, but didn't. Took 2 weeks in total from first finding out it was awaiting ship to actually being able to collect it. I have to say that it would be nice if Audi could have some kind of...

    The 170 story so far....

    My DPF warning light came on at 560 miles. Ran it in 4th at 60mph for 10 minutes, didn't go off. Stopped and started again 30 minutes later, DPF light off. New car hiccup or a sign of things to come?

    Problem filling tank

    I've been having trouble getting the pump nozzle in my local BP station into my tank. Need to push the thing in. Then I need to pull it pretty hard to get it out. It feels like the nozzle is slightly too big. Local Shell station nozzle seems to fit better, but I want to put BP Ultimate Diesel...

    A3 in Superman Returns

    You aren't able to get 51 cetane diesel in America, so engines designed for the EU market (where its been law since 2000 for diesel to be at least 51 cetane) will not work properly. The manual for my car says to put a minimum of CN51 diesel in it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cetane_number

    Debadge?

    Badges rawk People have saying "oooohhh quattro" to me. Most of them have no idea what it even is, but they know the name from the rallying days. I want people to know that I'm driving a diesel - its the future. They look at the **** of my car and think of this

    Better than I thought it would be

    I think I've converted someone already I gave my mate at work a go (he has a 2.0T Astra Coupe) and he was shocked at how quick it was for a 2.0 diesel. When I told him I got 40+ mpg on a 40 mile trip (half motorway at 80mph and half very twisty country roads) he said that on a recent run...

    Better than I thought it would be

    All I said was that I prefer it to our other car. I didn't mean to turn it into some kind of bizarre A3 vs 350z thread.

    Better than I thought it would be

    @Newbiecrg I'm not saying the 350z is a bad car, but it tramlines like hell, wears you out when you drive it (very heavy steering, heavy clutch, heavy gearbox) and is a nightmare in the wet (Potenza's suck). Driving around town in it is an effort not to run into the back of people and keep...

    Better than I thought it would be

    I picked up my new car this morning after a 9 week wait and its better than I thought it would be. Looks better than the configurator photo. Sounds better than I feared it might (nice subtle whoosh from the turbo), very quiet at high speed, stable as hell and quick enough to boot! I like...
