    Headlight Protectors?

    Yes, easy to fit and very secure - used them on a few trips abroad. Plastic bends through 90deg at bottom and this slots in beneath the headlight. There's a metal clip at top to go over headlight that gets covered by bonnet. Wouldn't use them as a styling mod but if you want to protect your...

    Audi 2.0 TFSI exhaust rattle/noise

    Sounds different to mine. May be a leak somewhere or exhaust starting to blow. How old / many miles ? Any exhaust smells in cabin ? Can you locate source of noise if someone else blips the throttle if you get your head under the car / around engine bay ? Any related problems re how it runs - eg...

    5th year service cost?

    Think Audi will charge £159 +£549 = £708 http://www.audi.co.uk/owners-area/servicing-maintenance-mot/fixed-price-services.html (= Interim service - Major service should be at 60k/6 yrs). Aim for ~ £450 from an independent specialist eg see http://www.volkservice.com/service-price-list.html ...

    My A3 Sportback 2.0TFSi

    Looks in really good condition and you've done well to find one with low mileage. Bought my 06 one in 2008 with 10k. Now on 75k and still v. happy to keep it for a while yet.

    2011 1.4 Battery needs to be coded to ECU ?

    Don't think so. I changed mine in my 2006 2.0TFSi and everything worked fine with no recoding required.

    Wheelarch rust

    Note: Just had a reply to an email I sent to Dinitrol/Rejel re use of 447. "Stone chip (ie 445/447) was always intended to be used under the arches or sills or on the front spoilers below the bumper line as they give an “orange Peel” effect."

    Wheelarch rust

    Dinitrol 447 is rubber-based and available as an aerosol. Dinitrol website also states its overpaintable if required. £17 for 500ml aerosol on ebay.

    Wheelarch rust

    Agreed but rust nowhere near bad enough to consider wing replacement (and wouldn't fix the issue with the sill). Just looking for a 'temporary' solution that lasts a few months rather than weeks.

    Wheelarch rust

    My 06 has lost paint at bottom of front wheelarches on the thin lip as it folds in from wing / sill and first part of sill underside due to being peppered with stones over 70k miles. Cosmetic issue ie no metal lost. Tried 2 approaches with little success 1) Use dremel wire brush and wet & dry to...

    Overcooling and high oil consumption 2.0TFSi

    I'm used to my 06 2.0TFSi using a lot of oil, especially on short journeys, but recently noticed an excessive consumption following 3 x 120 mile trips over the bank holiday. It went from max to min on the dipstick in that time, with most miles being on the motorway and hence the engine (should...
