    Who knew changing a wheel could be so different?

    I got stuck changing a wheel in the rain. It took me about 3 times as long as normal because I wasn't used to the bells and whistles as compared with my Fiesta. Since I'm a scientist I took photos. Anyone who laughed at my keyless-entry video will laugh at this too, but I say bring it on...

    Recall 90H6 - any info?

    My car's just had a service and the report print-out says it's had the 45D3 parking brake recall applied as well as one numbered 90H6. Anyone got any ideas what this does? Google is drawing blanks. The only thing I've noticed is that the console display (not the MMI screen) is slightly...

    What finish would you call this, and how can I get it back?

    When I got my A3 I took the car out for a run to Loch Lomond and shot the video below. That was in late March and now I'd like to give the car a proper detailing, but after reading about finishes I'm not sure on the distinction between "glossy" vs "reflective" (those are used as two ends of a...

    Wet windows / doors retaining water - normal?

    When I go to my car on a dry day when it's been raining a few hours earlier, I find that I'm rolling my windows down and they come back up wet. Is this normal or should I be concerned that the water isn't escaping out the bottom of the door properly? I'm sure I never had this much water on them...

    Rattle from lower driver's side door

    So my week-old A3 has developed a rattle :( As soon as I reach 2100 - 2200 rpm I hit the resonant frequency of something in the lower half of the driver's side door. It sounds like a pen's sitting in the storage compartment but it's completely empty. I've got it booked in at Glasgow Audi for...

    Voiding a Warranty / Notifying Insurance Providers?

    Sorry if this question has been answered elsewhere a hundred times before, but if it has then the answer is proving surprisingly elusive in the forum search :) Does activating extra options invalidate your warranty with Audi? Is it always black and white? Do the service departments see it so...

    Manufacturers making it more difficult to use your phone?

    I took my friend for a country drive in my new A3 today and after going over all the features, he turned to me and commented on how no manufacturer he knew of had yet built in a cradle for a mobile phone, which struck him as odd since everyone these days has one and probably uses it to some...

    Snagging list - what do we know so far?

    I'm heading through to Edinburgh Audi to pick up my 1.4 TFSI S-line in a few hours and I'm trawling the forums trying to pull together the teething issues that everyone's discovered since the 8V was released, and trying to figure out which ones have been resolved by system updates that will have...

    Extended mono.pur Interior

    Has anyone got / come across anyone who's got the extended mono.pur interior? I've ordered it on my S-Line because it's advertised "in the colour of the upholstery", which I'm hoping means the white stitching will be continued around the ashtray area knee-pads and in the door handles. I haven't...
