    Anyone ever put MK2 TTS wheels on an A3?

    As per the title, wondering if these would fit? Car currently has black edition Le Mans 18" wheels on. The wheels I've been offered are 9 x 18 ET52 CB57.1 I can find the spec of the Le Mans rims but I think this makes these TT wheels 1 inch wider and with a different offset? Presuming they...

    Pentagon Supaglass

    Has anyone got any real life experience of this stuff? The clips on YouTube look impressive.

    RNS-E theft prevention measures, suggestions?

    As I'm sure you're all aware theft of the RNS-E units from our cars is becoming rife. Audi seem to have little interest in this as the unit will be phased out when the new A3 arrives. If anybody has heard of any theft prevention measures for the unit then I think it'd be a good idea to share...

    Weird DIS message.

    This is a bit odd. Took the 3.2 for it's AVS the other day. Just had standard stuff plus new front pads. Since getting it back the DIS has been intermittently throwing up an odd message on start up with the alert tone. Trouble is it shows for less than half a second and I can't read it...

    Shell V-Power in a 3.2

    Good idea or massive waste of money? Have been giving it a try but not really noticed any great difference. A few BHP increase in that engine isn't really going to be noticeable in day to day driving is it? Hasn't really altered economy either. Interested to hear the thoughts/experiences of...

    Have I bought some dodgy snowfoam?

    Ordered myself a snowfoam lance and some foam solution to give this foaming thing a try. Ordered from cleanyourcar.co.uk - good price and delivery times. Went for a bottle of their own brand foam and was a bit disconcerted to read on the bottle that it's classed as harmful and has limited...

    3.2 SB owners - what tyre pressures are you using?

    There seems to be a bit of variety in the tyre pressures given for this car on the fuel flap sticker. My sticker gives several options for 17" wheels but for the 18" wheels the only option is 44psi all round (the pictures show that for a fully loaded car, with no option for a lighter load)...

    SDS Woes

    I think I've finally got the RNS-E figured out. Made a start on the SDS today but can't seem to get it to do anything other than control the phone - which is a bit dodgy in it's operation. It won't control the radio, CD or nav. Have I got some sort of limited functionality SDS? If...

    RNS-E lane guidance? Am I missing something here?

    So I'm beginning to get to grips with using the RNS-E and overall I'm very impressed. I haven't figured out the voice control bit yet but will have to wait until life is a bit less busy before I can spend some time getting that set up. :readit: Hopefully one of you can answer a quick...

    How many services should this car have had?

    Hi, I'm hopefully finally getting an A3 on Saturday. The car in question is on a 57 plate and has covered 27000 miles. I don't really understand the Audi variable servicing - how many services should a car of that age/milage have had? Thanks Jon

    Getting rid of tints

    Hopefully my final numpty question for a while..... One of the cars I'm looking at is a black edition sportback. Personally I'm not keen on the heavy tint the black edition gives the rear side windows. Do any of you wise people have a rough idea how much I'd be looking at to get all the...

    Does this look a bit dodgy......?

    ......or am I being over cautious? As a few of you know I'm currently searching for a 3.2 DSG SB I quite like the look of this But a few things don't quite add up. 1) It's on for at least 4K over market value - that I can live with. Can't begrudge them trying to make a bit of cash...

    Lava Grey vs Dolphin Grey (& 3.2 decision advice!)

    I'm currently looking at two very similarly specced cars, both have the open sky roof. One is Lava Grey, the other is Dolphin Grey. From the pictures I'm struggling to tell the difference, I've google some pictures but still can't really tell them apart. Are they the same colour? Is one...

    Can roof rails be retro fitted?

    I imagine it would be a big (read expensive) job. But can it be done? Anyone had it done?

    Open Sky - Yey or nay?

    I've got a choice between 3 used cars - all of similar spec. One has open sky. What are peoples opinions on this? If you've got it, do you like it - would you have it again? The car with the open sky is Lava Grey if that influences your thoughts at all Thanks Jon

    Quick front end question

    Sorry, search facility won't work for me - might be an issue with Safari... Just a quick question.... Will an 8P2 S3 front bumper fit straight onto an 8P2 S-line or is it a complicated swap? Thanks Jon

    Facelifts etc to be aware of for the 3.2

    So after a bit of deliberation I decided on the 3.2. I believe this means that I'm looking at cars manufactured between 2004 and 2009. As far as I'm aware all were either "Sport" or later "S-line". Presumably the model range was face lifted once or twice during its production period...

    Longer shift paddles for the DSG

    I know this is a little premature, given that I haven't even bought the car yet but when I've seen DSG cars in the past I've always thought the paddles were a bit stumpy. Reading through this site over the past few days I've been amazed by what can be modded or retrofitted. Is it possible to...
