    Hi, my 58 plate a3 1.8t is telling me it needs a service in 2 days or 3000 miles. Went to book it in with audi and apparently it will cost £309 i was expecting it to be £159. How do you tell which service it actually needs, and what does the major give you for double the price? According to the...

    do different engines use same clutch/gearbox?

    Out of interest, do the 1.4, 1.8 and 2.0 tfsi engines all use the same? I've been unable to find an answer to this anywhere.

    premium floor mats

    Anyone got a picture of these in their car? I have the plain black ones thinking of replacing them with these, the ones with silver piping and a3 logo. Does the logo stain with mud or can you keep it looking relatively clean? Cheapest i've seen is £39 delivered on ebay.

    Remap insurance

    Currently paying about 600 quid for my insurance. I got a quote with a 26% + increase in bhp and the cheapest quote was about 1500 and the next best was 9 grand! All the maps for the 1.8 give over 25% increase in power, i guess maybe on an s3 the increase isnt as significant as a percentage. If...

    1.8TFSI remap

    Anyone got their 1.8tfsi remapped? It feels pretty fast as it is, but would be very quick with a map to 200bhp or so. Does this engine use the same clutch and turbo as the 2.0T? If so i would imagine it can cope with the power increase well. Is the turbo likely to wear faster with a map?

    Turbo + cold starts

    How do you all treat your turbo engines from cold? I've been trying to let mine at least get to engine operating temp before using much of the turbo, but most of my journeys are like 4 miles each way so it barely reaches temp by the time i get to destination, and by the time i drive it home its...
