    S-Tronic rattle on changedown

    I recently noticed that when decelerating under light brake pressure I get a loud clunk when my gearbox changes from 3rd to 2nd. I can feel it through the floorpan too. Its a DSG (S-Tronic). It's really obvious every time I slow down at junctions. It's definitely worse when the brake is being...

    RSN E just installed a few probs (pics included)

    Really? I upgraded from Concert II+ to RNSe and found this as well - contacts from iPhone not getting downloaded. Where is this bit coded then? Cheers!

    RNS-E fitted........everything works already!

    Mine was the same. Not sure the RNS-e needs any specific coding to work. What you may find is that your CAN gateway is locked out because a new component has been fitted that doesnt match the list of originally installed parts (this is how it was explained to me by Audi tech). This will need to...

    Repair rear screen element - possible?

    This winter I noticed that the top two horizontal elements of the rear window demister didn't seem to be working. Then, a few weeks ago, driving to work the low sun was just at the right angle to highlight that the element appears to have a section missing that look suspiciously shaped like a...

    Cleaning leather steering wheel

    I recently changed the steering wheel on my 8P2 to a MFSW. The car had covered 67k so the leather trim on the wheel was quite shiny. On the new wheel (which came from a new car - only covered 3k!) the leather was absolutely mint, it had a really nice matte finish. Unfortunately after a few...

    Insurance - Renewals, what the hell!

    Yeah I'll third that. Premiums are going up year on year because of the rise in personal injury claims amongst other things. They would love everybody to take their renewal quote each year without query. Give them a call with your cheapest quote and see what they say.

    MFSW retro on S-Line - yet more questions

    How much is the upgrade kit? PM me if you need to. I would be very interested in this. I'll check out the AMI kit. I'm quite fussy so I dont like the idea of additional cradles or cables around the cabin to support music streaming. I have the factory phone cradle on the dash which only supports...

    MFSW retro on S-Line - yet more questions

    Right, with the help of my friend at Audi we fitted the wheel today along with an RNE-e head unit (LED model). The head unit just plugged right in (old unit was Concert II+) and with the PIN code entered it seems to be working ok. My phone works through it although the phone book hasnt sync'd...

    Cant adjust bass on Concert II+ head unit

    Hi, I have found a 'feature' with the head unit in my A3. When I try and adjust the bass setting, instead of adjusting up or down the slider just turns into the volume slider so the volume goes up and down instead. Treble and midrange adjust as expected, its just that adjusting the bass causes...

    Factory phone kit - questions

    Hi, I just registered to this forum. I recently bought an A3 (57) 2.0l TDI (140ps) S-Line sportback and I have a few things to ask about it. I appear to have a phone adapter-jobbie thing on the dash and after some research it seems to be a genuine audi accessory. I found a pic on this...
