    A3 8P 3Dr Drivers Door Arm Handle/Rest Help

    Hi Guys, I know this is a common problem - the vinyl on the door arm rest has started to crack quite badly and keeps pinching my elbow. I've tried the vinyl repair kit, which is ok for a short period of time. It doesn't fix the issue - it just covers it up. I'm thinking of just replacing the...

    a3 devil eye headlights :help please:

    Hi, What sort of DRL's did you get? I'm looking for some at the moment too for my A3, possibly the black R8 type. Anyways, I'm pretty sure that you don't need any sort of resistor. It should be simple plug and play (that's if you got the ones I'm thinking of) If you picked up some from china...

    What DRL headlights to go for?

    Hi Matt, Quick question, what colour is your car? Do the black lights look ok with it or do you think the chrome ones would have looked better? I've got an A3 in maritius blue. I really like the black lights, but I'm not sure if they'd look good with the car. I've had no other work done to...

    A3 (8P) Pre-facelift DRL assistance

    Hey Guys, so what do these bi-xenons look like? Will they fit my 2004 A3? (pre-facelift) Also, NHN what's the pricing like? Do they have the DRL lights (that's primarily what I'm after) If not then which of the above two lights do you think I should go with? I'm swaying towards the black, but...

    Yep, that's not the actual car, but I had to get a picture to show the colour of the car, etc. I'll have to take a pic of my car and upload later on.. but do you think the black or chrome DRL lights will look better?

    A3 2.0tdi sport 04 Change in idle and fans cutting in?

    Hi all, I changed my battery too, got a new Bosch and in the past two weeks I've had no irregular idling. Problem solved. I spoke to an Audi mechanic who said that when the battery can't produce enough power, the ECU shifts the revs up to compensate. Problem solved.
