    Dome/Map Light issue

    I just swapped over to the unit with ambient LEDs and map lights. Photo of both units below. When fitting I plugged in the cable and there was a loud click and a very small flash in the middle of the new unit. It then blew my interior lighting fuse. The ambient LEDs and the switch backlight...

    RS3 8P Interior transfer to 2005 A3 8P

    Looking at an RS3 interior out of a damaged car. Not overly keen on the RS3 seat badging but the price is very good and I would like to upgrade to leather. The main issue is that the passenger side airbag has gone off. There doesnt appear to be any structural damage to the seat. Does anyone...

    Powerflex dogbone bush?

    Does anyone have this installed? Worth the hassle? I am about to install the HPA puck (lower subframe mount) but don't want the expense of the BSH, SPM or VF full dogbone mount. Noticed the powerflex bush was quite affordable and wondered if it would be worthwhile. Powerflex Performance...

    Facelift tails issue

    Can only get the fog light on the inner facelift lights to work, otherwise they are not coming on at all. The outside are working fine for everything. I want it to work like a facelift car. The adaptor looms I used from 'tuning fanatics' had a 4th wire coming out of them that I connected up as...

    How to clean bonded contaminants from wax/sealants?

    I'm not sure what I should be doing to remove these. I have a coat of Polish Angel Master Sealant currently. When I washed the car earlier today I noticed a few black particles on the rear of the car that washing didn't remove. I sprayed some ironx on them and then very lightly dislodged them...

    A3 Detail

    This is my first go at giving the car a good detail and I am using a mix of professional and consumer products. Wont review each product but will put a few comments here and there. Total time was around 7 hours, stopped every now and then to take a few photos on my phone. Could spent a little...

    Steering wheel off centre

    Have had this since installing a load of suspension parts. It sits at around 12-15 degrees to the left. The steering wheel has not been removed at any point and the alignment is perfect. It drives great and doesn't pull to the left. Its driving me mad and I'm guessing its either the steering...

    Detailing advice

    I have been collecting a few detailing products lately to do my first full detail on my A3. Some professional, some consumer/retail type products. I don't have a DA, pressure washer or snowfoam lance and plan to do it by hand. I also don't have any swirl marks or scratches that could fixed with...

    Intermittent fuel cut

    Get this every now and then, usually when nailing it in 1st and 2nd. Did it when I had a stock tune, still does it with Stage 1. it is hard to replicate as it happens so rarely and on all different roads and conditions. There is plenty of fuel in it when it does it. i guess it could be ESP but...

    Meyle parts?

    I'm wanting to change out ball joints and inner tie rods when I do my next round of suspension mods in the next couple of weeks. Meyle parts are about 1/3 the price of OEM. I don't want to skimp on essential parts if there is any drawbacks however. Anyone have any experience with these...

    Downpipes?

    Is there really much point in spending moonbeams on APR, Milltek etc? I can get away with a decatted DP where I am, so is there any reason a well made 120 quid DP won't give a good result? I'm all for brand name engine management, essential engine components and suspension etc but I'm...

    OSIR front lip & replica

    I can't see any major differences between these two, other than I slight difference in angle at the bottom of the grille. Can anyone else? Trying to figure out which gives the nicest look, or if they deliver pretty much the same result. The first image/spoiler is cheaper and made of 'PUR'...

    My car is 'LYZW'. Does anyone know the name for this colour? I couldn't find any sort of colour database online. It's described as 'Light Silver Metallic' and 'Lightning Silver' on same sites. I would like to know the official name though. E.g : Daytona Grey, Ibis White, Monza Red etc

    Have an opportunity to buy a set of new uprated powerslot rotors and hawk HPS pads which were bought for a MK5 GTI. I presume these will bolt up no problem?
