    Electric folding mirrors...?

    Had them on my 05 Sportback since new and can confirm they don't function once you hit a certain speed, dead slow is fine, otherwise they don't function. One of my mirrors has always been faster than the other but so were all the others at the dealership when I took it in to enquire!

    How to diagnose DMF problem ?

    From my personal experience I wouldn't worry about vibration coming through the clutch pedal when you rest your foot on it gently. All the A3's I test drove in 2005 did it, mine has always done it as have all the A3's I have had as courtesey cars since.

    tyre purchase

    I used http://www.event-tyres.co.uk/ when I needed 3 new tyres and a puncture repair, cheapest by far for me. I'm particularly fussy re no damage to my alloys, had these guys around my house twice for tyres and spot on excellent service both times, highly recommended.

    Oil!& money saving

    As I posted a month ago: Very good deals on Castrol Edge at Homebase currently, they seem to be clearing out. Castrol Edge 5W 30 1 Litre is £7.98, nearly half the price other retailers charge for a top-up bottle. They had 12 on the shelf, I bought 2. I think the 0W 30 was even cheaper.

    AVS Servicing - Post your quotes and dealers here.

    See this: http://www.audi.co.uk/audi/uk/en2/owners_area/Servicing_with_Audi.html Special prices for cars over 3 yrs old, get them to itemise the quote for you then compare with other quotes in this thread and you'll get a good idea of what it should be. Sounds absolutely ridiculous to me.

    Removing rear lights on Sportback is awful pain (DaveR can you assist!)

    Thanks Dave, interesting to see the Sportback exploded view, this is not in the handbook. The issue is with item 3, the clip nuts. When you have undone item 5 the cap nut, the 2 clip nuts don't easily pop out of their holes as they are 'around the corner' on the body work (they are...

    Removing rear lights on Sportback is awful pain (DaveR can you assist!)

    Brake light needed replacing on Sportback today, what a pain and awful design! Followed instructions in book but removing the light from the bodywork is difficult, no wonder they warn you in the manual you may damage the paintwork and should take it to a dealer! Looked up the diagrams...

    Confidence In Dealers

    You need to set expectations. Make it clear you don't want vehicle washed and put a note on the passenger seat to that effect. Give them a note of any existing damage however small that the vehicle has and get them to inspect on arrival so they agree with you. My dealer is very good...

    supaguard worth getting for £300

    You've actually been given the option of being bent over the desk! :) A polite 'no thank you' should do the trick! As above, get some decent products yourself for a fraction of the cost. Collinite 476 is great.
