    B8.5 Phone holders/Spotify/Sat nav & MMI Updates

    cheers, I’ve had a look and there’s a range from threads with just a couple of posts to a super complex one which is probably outside of my level of faith in myself! If there’s a specific thread I can read through I’ll take a look if you could link to it please? You may be right, although I...

    B8.5 Phone holders/Spotify/Sat nav & MMI Updates

    4 months into RS4 ownership and I feel I’ve made a cracking choice in daily commuter. There are a few things I’d love to sort to really make the most out of my journeys: Phone holder: The options I’ve found so far all seem a bit crap. I don’t want a screen or vent mount, and I don’t trust the...

    Coilover options..

    I appreciate that, however both companies also offer coilover kits with full range height adjustment, for those not satisfied with a happy medium. The frustrating thing with all of these options is not knowing if I'll be happy once they're on. It could well be I find the h&r's perfect, however...

    Coilover options..

    Yes, considered both. However, £450ish for Ap's compared to £360 for supersports, I don't think I'll get more for the extra money. Opposite story with the ST X's, for £70 more the BC's seem to offer quality well above what the ST X's offer. Good to hear, it makes AP's in with a shout if I can...

    Coilover options..

    I've not long had my b7 avant s-line, but I need it lower. I've been on the lookout for used coilovers but there's literally nothing about! So I'm now at: Fit a set of fk ak's that I originally bought for a b6 but didn't fit. Supersport black evo's at £400ish BC's at £700ish KW sport...

    1.9 vs 2.0 tdi 8p2?

    So we went to see the car, it's realy tidy and he's basically ready to put a deposit down.. a couple of queries though.. On start up, the ignition seems a bit slow, like the engine turns over half a turn before firing - is this normal? weak battery? something more sinister? There is no FIS...

    1.9 vs 2.0 tdi 8p2?

    Hmm! Well this is the 2.0 he'd narrowed it down to and it doesn't tick any of the above boxes! pre 2006 & 140! I'll see if I can find out if it's BKD.. http://www.oaklandsautomotive.co.uk/audi-a3-2.0-tdi-se-in-clevedon-bristol-4247467

    1.9 vs 2.0 tdi 8p2?

    Firstly apologies if this is the most common thread on here, I couldn't find an answer! My brothers looking for an 8p2 and I'm advising him to buy a 1.9 but I don't know if this is completely incorrect advice! I've always been scared off of the 2.0 tdi's due to hearing endless horror stories...

    Supaguard, how long does it last?

    yup, best bet for stripping supaguard or any other waxes is washing up liquid.. make sure you coat the car with something else same day though as paint will be fully exposed.

    1.8T running fault.. Getting REALLY annoying now!

    AND THE WINNER IS.... sandip With the correct answer of spark plugs!! Finally, the car's running great and now has a whole host of items replaced which didn't need doing! Only fault that came up with scanning was MAF - however that would've been from when it was unplugged. Cheers all for...

    1.8T running fault.. Getting REALLY annoying now!

    I had a Bailey DV30 and K&N filter sat at home so thought i'd fit them to see if it helps with breathing. Still holding back at around 5k in 3/4/5th but does seem a bit better..

    1.8T running fault.. Getting REALLY annoying now!

    So today I fitted the other 3 coilpacks as that was the most common suggestion.. Also checked again for boost leaks, especially around the pancake pipes. I'm pretty sure there's no hoses loose, and cant see or feel any splits. I have noticed a slight 'dump valve' noise on let off when the...

    1.8T running fault.. Getting REALLY annoying now!

    Yeah Im thinking this is going to be the case.. was advised just to replace the dodgy coil, but looks like im gonna have to shell out for the lot. Other advise has been to double check hoses including intercooler outlet pipe as main culprit..

    1.8T running fault.. Getting REALLY annoying now!

    I've got a running issue with my 1.8T A3. It idles fine after having a coilpack replaced, and pulls very well until around 4-5.5K where it judders. I thought I had it narrowed down to MAF or N75 valve, however having checked the MAF by unplugging it, there was no difference, so I replaced the...
