    Rear puncture

    If its not repairable you should be ok to just get two new ones for the same axle, as front and rear always wear differently anyway. Alternative is a part worn same brand from a reputable seller, just make sure it’s not damaged! Not ideal though. Fingers crossed it’s something simple like the...

    Heated seat base issue

    Given that the switch changes the temperature of the backrest, I’m guessing/hoping it may just be a connection problem. Had a busy weekend fixing the in-laws sink and fireplace , but will take a look next weekend.

    Cam belt change

    140,000 miles :scared2::scared2::scared2: I would be terrified every time I started it and every inch of the journey. Personally I’ll stick with 40k / 5 year max for both the A1 & A3. Not cheap but gives me peace of mind at least

    Auto wipers fault, wiping when not raining

    Just in case anyone having similar issues. The car went in for an aircon compressor today. The garage ran a diagnostic and think the ’gel’ between the windscreen and sensor may have broken down, it’s either that or the wiper stalk. They need to do a road test to check the stalk and monitor the...

    A1 Motor Services in Stafford are great, Tim really knows his stuff. Audi even use him for some key coding bits.

    Auto wipers fault, wiping when not raining

    My wife’s 2013 A1 has started to turn the auto windscreen wipers on when it’s not raining. Only does it intermittently but becoming a bit of a pain. Anyone know what could be causing it, please?

    What rim color for my A3?

    I do love a gunmetal / anthracite wheel, doesn‘t show the dirt as much as black imo!

    Rear screen washer not working

    Managed to finally get mine working again after 3 weeks of it being out of action. Took off the cover and jet assembly, totally ’gunked up’ with rubbish. Cleaned it through with an air duster and pin. Reassembled and still not working. Repeated as there was more rubbish and this time I blew...

    Ditched xenons and went LED headlight bulbs

    Is replacing xenon’s with LED legal? If so I might have a go on the A1. Glad you’re enjoying 24 hour daylight!

    s3 saloon black edition wheels…

    Wow that’s a lot of cash for a 22k mile S3. For that I’d want every extra possible, I’d couldn’t live with a light grey interior but that’s personal choice! No sports seats, roof or adaptive cruise though! Thought I payed a lot for mine, but prices are still bonkers! Happy hunting

    Xenon headlight bulb

    Would recommend Osram Nightbreakers, really good upgrade. Not cheap though, but you pay for quality. Fitted them in my A5 and substantially improved the reach, penetration and brightness.

    Try Crewe Audi / parts request if you want them new. I’d go eBay to save £100’s though
