    Fascia Adaptors for A3

    Just checked on autoleads, For pre-facelift, it directs me to FP-05-02 (which I already have and doesn't fit properly) For post-facelift, it says to use FP-18-00 (the Seat Toledo one mentioned earlier). Seeing as my FP-05-02 doesn't fit mine properly, does anyone know if the FP-18-00 one will...

    Fascia Adaptors for A3

    Cheers guys, I have a humble A3, not an S3, but I take it that the factory fitted Head Units are the same, so the Seat adaptor should fit mine ?????

    Fascia Adaptors for A3

I'm not sure why this is but maybe it is something to do with the gravel/snow kind of wedging in front of the wheel when the wheels...

    Also bear in mind that American Head Units don't have RDS, so you won't get station names when you have the radio on

    Seating position when driving fast. Turnfast web

    I don't know about driving fast, but my A3 doesn't half give my back aggro. This info is very useful, I have been trying for ages to sort out my driving position, but what feels 'comfortable' doesn't always feel the same way after an hour driving.... Anybody else find the A3 seats a bit...

    Battery Voltage

    Alright mate, I think you need to measure the voltage coming from the alternator when the engine is ON, as the battery is only really used for starting the engine, it is the alternator which supplies power for the car...... May be wrong though....

    Annoying Rattle

    You can take the door card off as follows: - 1. Undo the screw behind the foor handle and remove the plastic piece of trim. 2. Undo the two screws that are then revealed. 3. Remove the two screws that are on the top of the door card on the edges (ie the bits that are not exposed when the...
