    Perfect trim removal tool...

    I'm sure there's bound to be some big kids here that used to, and still do, build with Lego. Well, the latest Lego removal tool is perfect for removing dash trim, door trim, etc. Free with most larger kits, not much on the bay :happy:

    Retro fit, but not quite the same...

    Chaps, my 54 plate currently has the standard halogen headlights. I've managed to get hold of a pair of S3 (05-08) bi xenon headlights (OEM). Here's the thing - can they be fitted with normal halogen bulbs (albeit uprated ones). I suspect it might be a no, plugs may be different, etc. but...

    Odd squeaking sound, possibly from within centre console

    Evening all. Bit of an odd one this, got a squeaking sound that appears to be coming from the centre console. I've already had someone suggest it's a pump used within the heating system with a knackered bearing but just wanting to double check. It initially started a few months back and kicked...

    Swapping alloys, keeping tyres...

    Okay. I've got the s line 5 spoke alloys on my motor and am aiming to change them later in the year. However, I've currently got a couple of knackered tyres which need replacing to get through MOT next month but I'm loath to spend out on some decent tyres to only use them for a couple of...

    Yellow '58 S3 Horndean Morrisons

    Popped into my local Morrisons in Horndean and parked opposite a rather pleasant looking yellow S3, think it was a 58 plate. Had a little nosey around, certainly a more sporty interior than my v6, think I need to get some updates! Was around 8pm ish and gone by the time I came out 10 minutes...

    This has to be a typo...

    Audi R8 5.2 FSI Quattro 2dr Coupe 2009 R8 V10 with tastey carbon extras. 2009 model with less than 10k on the clock. Surely the price is wrong?!?

    Anyone with VCDS in Horndean/Portsmouth area available?

    Hi all, Wondering if there's anyone with CVDS in the Horndean/Waterlooville/Portsmouth area who'd be able to stop by and give my motor a scan for errors - got the ESP light on constantly which is preventing the car from running. Will happily reimburse fuel costs and provide a cuppa. I'll be...

    Desperate times; car unusable :(

    Got an issue with car at present - 54 plate 3.2 quattro 3 door manual. Was driving home the other evening and when I got to a roundabout near home and was slowing to filter into traffic the ESP warning light came on, stayed on, and the car stalled. Managed to limp it home the last few hundred...

    Upgrading OEM double DIN headunit...

    Hi chaps. My A3 has an original Symphony double DIN headunit with BOSE set-up; However, it's got a tape deck, which I don't need, and has seen the effects of the sun with the finish on the buttons starting to blister a bit which doesn't look so nice. Anyhow, I'm looking to upgrade to a later...

    APR 3.2 ECU upgrade

    Been having a look on the APR site and the ECU upgrades they offer. Looks to be a reasonable deal. So the question is, has anyone here had the upgrade on the 3.2 and how did they find it? Reading through the details it states that different ECU settings (eg. for different fuel grades) can be...
