    DSG - First thrash

    My dsg goes up into the red line with the gas floored, there cant be much between when it forces gear change and the rev limiter. OK so it does change up but why would you want to bounce of the limiter anyway?

    Tomtom 3 on a PDA

    I went for the ipaq 4700 purely for the 480x640 resolution screen. Tomtom doesnt yet support this resolution or landscape view which is a shame but I have heard this is coming in the new version. I went for a wired gps this time, unless you wire the bluetooth ones to a power source they're a...

    How much for my car?

    the 3.2 is a killer, i'm sticking in £45 worth either every day or every other day. Fortunately I have a fuel card that the company pays private and business mileage for. Without it I couldnt even begin to think about affording it. Hope you get a decent deal selling it.

    ARGH - Things I hate about my A3

    bowfer : not tricky as such, it just rolls a couple of inches back, more annoying than anything. Not considered the left foot braking trick tho Jaminben will give that a shot.

    ARGH - Things I hate about my A3

    1. its raining, you open the window, even a little bit and you create a small swimming pool at your feet. 2. the damn knocking noise near side at the rear (anyone know if audi have resolved this yet?) 3. the way it rolls back a few inches on a hill (DSG) unlike every other auto system i've...

    Video's

    LOL, like the "whooaa" sound as you reached 140mph, was just like the sound I made doing 150mph chasing a porsche boxter down the M50, last Friday, wind was havoc, [censored] it down with rain, got very scarey, guy in the boxter looked like he was having a nicer ride.

    A3 2.0TFSI or A3 3.2

    I can only go on a comparison of my last car, A4 1.8T (52 plate) and my current 3.2 A3. I live in a particularly rural area so AWD is essential, especially for the lanes. I find that the 3.2 offers lots of power when ever I need it, be that ripping through the lanes going up/down gears quickly...

    Lifting windscreen wipers when washing!

    its something like, switch off ignition then switch on the wipers within 30seconds, it'll move the wipers to the maintanence position. i'm probably totally wrong but its defo in the manual.

    A3 model/spec envy

    stephv6: maybe i dont understand what undetseer is then 911sc: i'd prefer something quicker, if i could find a 911 turbo for about £50,000 then I may go for it, tbh not even thought about a porka until now.

    A3 model/spec envy

    Hmmm, this sounds like i'm missing out on some of the fun then. I drive it hard but i've never had any kind of understeer/oversteer, never had it slide on me once, although i never turn traction control off, maybe thats what i'm missing?

    A3 model/spec envy

    Well, i'm not really that much of a technical driver, so I wouldnt even know what a Haldex is and what happens when it kicks in. and yeh, the 3.2 can still suprise me, but I have a chance of getting the merc slk55 amg which is a 5.5l v8 and for the most part the 3.2 is like any other small...

    A3 model/spec envy

    anyone a little bored with their A3 yet? I used to think my 3.2 S-line was quick, but i'm used to it now after 5000 miles. Going to sell it in June anyway, looking at the Mercedes SLK55 AMG, although Merc have a terrible name at the mo.
