    broken parcel shelf

    Mine broke a while ago, but that was due to me being heavy handed when loading stuff rather than a fault! Luckily I didn't lose it, so just stuck it back on with some Araldite (epoxy resin) and it's been fine since.

    longlife oil

    Went to my local Halfords but they said it was only stocked at the superstores, thought I'd check the Sainsburys petrol station opposite work just in case and they had stacks of the stuff! I think it was about £10 ish for exactly the same bottle as supplied with the car....

    Pirelli's and wear rate...

    I've just had my front P-Zeros replaced at about 14k, they said the rears have roughly another 4-5k left in them. I'm pretty easy on the car, definately not a hard/fast driver, and I do mostly motorway miles, so I reckon you could definately be looking at 10k or less out of a set of fronts if...

    Diesel Engines....

    I'm sure I read somewhere that the it's a narrow angle V in the A3 3.2, and a wide angle V in the A4/A6/A8 3.2.

    The list below the door! (S-line)

    Maybe it's from the old s-line TT? Definately doesn't look like the ones in mine.

    Spec Recommendations

    I saw a Misano Red S-line in the showroom before I ordered mine and was seriously tempted.... ...but, I thought it was a bit loud for me, and probably not suited to a 2.0TDI! I think it'd be fine for someone with a 3.2 who really wants to stand out!

    DSG

    I used to cross my arms loads, but have been trying to get out of the habbit. I kind of thought one day, what happens if my arms are most of the way crossed and I need to apply more lock for whatever reason?

    Official Audi remapping service

    This might be old news, but Audi are offering their own 'remapping' service. One of the guys at work has a 225 TT, and got a letter from his dealer to say that they are offering a remapping service which should give around 54bhp extra. It also said that it wouldn't affect the Audi warranty...

    DSG - D vs S whats yours ?

    I reckon I use D probably 90% of the time, only use S when taking off from roundabouts, junctions and if overtaking. I find that it seems to 'drop the clutch' a bit quicker in S. I do use manual from time to time if it's a nice quiet twisty road and fancy pressing on a bit. I should probably...

    Spec Recommendations

    I find the armrest great with DSG, but in previous loan cars that have been manuals I've just found that it gets in the way.

    18" rs6 replicas on a 2.0 tdi sport

    The TT looks f***ing cool with the RS6 replicas, never seen one before with those... I see you have a thing for red cars.....

    Any other sportback S-line owners on here ?

    I saw a Misano Red S-Line at a dealer before I ordered mine, and funnily enough saw one heading the other way on the M25 today too. It's a really nice colour, but I kind of felt that it was maybe a bit too 'in your face' for my liking. Regarding the company car policy thing, when I specced...

    DSG Owners - torque limit / durabillity

    I got a DSG because I used to love driving autos out in Australia where they are way more common than over here. But, with gas prices in the UK I could never live with the loss of fuel economy with an auto. 98%+ of the time I'm just cruising around in situations where it's just not realistic...

    A3 Sportback 2.0TDI DSG Project

    [ QUOTE ] sorry dude but it looks . Sort of thing the riceboys would turn out. Just my opinion though. [/ QUOTE ] .....mmmmm, I tend to agree. Personally I'm not a big fan of cosmetic modifications, although something subtle can make a car a bit more individual (subtle being the...

    Roof Bars on 3 dr?

    I have the Audi roofrack for my 3dr which is great. It only takes a couple of minutes to put on, and is solid as a rock. As with all roofracks you do have to be super-carefull when putting it on/taking it off, so as not to scratch the paintwork.... I know Thule also do one that's available...

    Question for TDI drivers: what diesel are you using?

    I just use whatever's cheapest, supermarket or otherwise! I've never noticed a difference between any supplier to be honest....

    [ QUOTE ] Do we all get oil? and if we do does it come in a container in the boot? I lifted the floor and lots of empty slots where things shoud be? I got a jack , stupid space saver tyre and screwdriver set!! Am I missing something?? My 3.2 has done nearly 10k since new in April and the service...

    A3 complaints

    I have a couple of slightly annoying noises from the interior, and they are definately temperature related. One is a very occasional plastic crack/rattle from inside, but it's pretty rare. The other is a consistent rattle from the glove box release catch. It'll only do it for about 20 mins or...
