    Tax Bands - What are you paying per year to tax your car?

    Hi guys, As the title of the thread suggests, how much are you guys paying in road tax to keep your cars on the road? if so, is it an A3 1.6, 1.8t, 1.9tdi or S3? Just trying to gauge the price differences...

    Whistling noise on turbo and HIDs question...

    In regards to your HID question, 6000k will get you the colour you are looking for. You should note, colour does not equal brightness. 4300k are as white as xenons get which gives the best light output. 6000k adds more of a blue tint to the light which in my opinion looks much better as they...

    PC9-404 connected... rear speakers still not working.

    I actually love you guys. This was exactly what I needed to do, I attached the blue and white wire to the blue wire in the radio's loom and the rear speakers are alive. It's all wired and tidied up now. Considering how much better my car speakers sound now the JL Audio conversion must sound...

    PC9-404 connected... rear speakers still not working.

    Please go easy on me as I have never wired up a car radio and am completely new to setting this up. I previously had someone else fit an after-market headunit to my car, since then the front speakers were the only ones which worked. So I've bought and attached the PC9-404 cable: On the...

    Aud S3 Speaker Problem

    Thanks for that. The only thing that worries me about buying a PC9-404 is I have the non-bose sound system, and every description I have seen recommends it for the bose system on the 8ls. Does this also work for non-bose systems? thanks again!

    Aud S3 Speaker Problem

    AndyMac you seem to know exactly what you're talking about, so would this be the same issue my 8l has? I had a guy fit an aftermarket HU (non-branded) for me a while back when buying the car. Since then, the rears don't work. He mentioned at the time that the amp appeared to be wired seperately...

    Can anyone tell me which side skirts these are?

    Earlier in the year, I fitted an aftermarket front bumper and I'm now looking for aftermarket side skirts to match as despite having painted the original side skirts, they don't sit low enough to really match the front. Having a search on eBay all I could find were crappy over the top side...

    Pre-facelift leather seats in a facelift car?

    That's certainly helpful, cheers. I'd assume they all have those in seat airbags on the sides then? Can anyone else also confirm this? the seats in question are out of a 1999 A3 1.8t. I assumed they were made by Recaro but I could be wrong. I know the leathers in the Golf Mark 4 which look...

    Pre-facelift leather seats in a facelift car?

    Hey guys, I've found a nice set or Recaro leather seats for my facelift A3 (which currently has the drab stock cloth seats) and was hoping you could answer whether or not these would be a direct fit? from what I have read the rails should be the same so this shouldn't be a problem. However I...

    Trustworthy online alloy wheel retailers for R8 V10 style alloys?

    Thanks for the link/offer K50HYL/ Lingy. Unfortunately you have 8P alloys (5x112), I need 8L alloys (5x100) and I don't want to mess about with adaptors. Rob_k thanks but I checked his website and there aren't any R8 V10s. Anyone else have any ideas? Thanks again for any replies.

    Trustworthy online alloy wheel retailers for R8 V10 style alloys?

    Cheers for that DJ Troopa, but I saw those earlier today, however when I went to phone the number provided I kept getting a voice message saying I had dialed an incorrect number so it was actually the website that made me make this thread as I'm rather worried it's not a trustworthy site to buy...

    Trustworthy online alloy wheel retailers for R8 V10 style alloys?

    I'm looking to buy a set of 18" R8 V10 style/ replica alloys (5x100) and eBay sellers have brought me no joy, I've been trying to get them from two eBay sellers but they're never in stock despite being listed as available continuously for the last two weeks so now I'm considering buying them...

    Wing mirrors stolen!!! Replacements???

    It's really sad to see that people on here keep reporting they've had their S3 mirrors stolen. Are there no preventative measures others can take to make it harder for the mirrors to come off so that this doesn't happen to them too?

    A3 1.6 to 1.8 turbo conversion. Advice please...

    Oh wow, that sucks. Pretty much every reply in this thread implies it's far more effort than it's worth. I guess I'll just have to keep the A3 1.6 lump in there for now as I really don't want to sell the car. Has anyone on here fitted a Rotrex Supercharger to their 1.6? supposedly they are good...
