    Very recent chain stretch story Jan 2015

    Not heard of Gaz I'm afraid, I had already decided to chop it in when I found out about the issue and as Audi charged me £2000 I think I would have struggled to beat that price at an independent. cheers for taking the time to recommend him though. Labor costs I'm afraid 29 hours Front of car...

    Seen a few chain stretch posts on here so thought I would give you a very recent tale of woe. 2005 55 plate A3 3.2 V6 DSG Auto 79000 miles The problem first manifested itself with a miss fire when up to temp and in slow moving traffic but not all the time, later on it was all the time with the...

    Advice please what's the best buy

    Thanks for the replies guys (Silver Cab looks fantastic) I'm on the TTForum as well and a few people have had chain stretch on 57 and 08 plates so I'm starting to get scared off of the 3.2 V6 all together to be honest

    Advice please what's the best buy

    Yes dzTT you could of course be correct and I may be being a little too cautious but having had the dreaded chain stretch on the A3 3.2 V6 (£4780 from main dealer to fix it) I really want a bang up to date every year service history as not changing the oil and long term servicing seems to be...

    Advice please what's the best buy

    Thanks for replying dzTT. Turns out the 2008 had quite a large hole in the service history that they failed to mention, last service 2012 51000 miles now done 59000 makes me think it has been sitting in a lock up somewhere waiting to be repaired from a shunt.

    How to connect IPOD to Symphony Stereo in 2005 A4?

    Search the forum to see if anyone else has fitted one of these as you could still have the problem of the rear speakers not working and you having to spend more money (been there did that) to get them to work. Search for some wiring diagrams online and post them up for people who know about...

    How to connect IPOD to Symphony Stereo in 2005 A4?

    Firstly there is no jack plug or phono sockets on the back so that is not an option. You could buy an FM transmitter and just tune your I-pod into the radio or buy a specific connection box that will work with this unit and there are many out there but it would depend on your budget. I have...

    Well started installing the parrot and first surprise was when I took off the cover for the fuse board first thing I see is a mini USB cable stuffed in the space, I pulled it out and an aftermarket 12V socket pops out with the other end of the USB cable plugged into it as you would with your...
