    New car arrived!! *non-Audi content!*

    something else I meant to ask! not long after I got my A3 - I bought a genuine Ross Tech KII-USB interface (which obviously activates the fully licensed version VCDS) - I think I paid around £260 (including delivery and taxes) for this- how much do these tend to go for second hand (i.e. what...

    that's only some of it!! - my signature is the most recent/current cars.. I used to have a thing for Fords...

    Feel a little bit bittersweet writing this post as it will probably be one of my last on here! :( The good news is that I've got a new car - after a lot of test driving and deliberation, I eventually decided on a new F20 BMW 116d M Sport - which arrived a couple of weeks ago. I picked the...

I had a quick look over the engine and noticed that this hose running from the intake manifold had a split in it. As a temporary measure I've wrapped it with insulating tape which seems to have...

    Audi A3 1.8T (8l AUM Engine): Strange noise - grinding/rubbing noise..

    possibly.. i'll need to try and have a proper root around in daylight!.. pretty stumped with it at the minute though and annoyed because i don't know what it is! LOL! - especially with it only happening over a short RPM range (that kind of suggest that it is a vibration of some sort - but why...
