    Battery advice please

    2002 A3 1.8T AUM Not mapped. The battery is dying on its **** though, and needs a change. I need to do this on a low budget though - has anyone got any recommendations please?

    What has everyone got planned for the Bank holiday

    Supposed to have been playing cricket on both Saturday and Sunday. Only to find both matches have just been called off... Guess the car is getting a proper detail now!

    Painful

    Superglue - one its original uses was in first aid kits in Vietnam. There's a reason it bonds skin so well!

    Oil issue

    I've had my 2001 A3 1.8T (AUM) for a week now. I changed the oil yesterday, and put in 4.5 litres of Quantum 5w40. However, I couldn't budge the existing oil filter so I left it in place. After driving a few miles, the Engine Management light came on. Is it possible I've put too much oil...

    All I can say is wow - how good is this stuff? Totally rejuvenated the leather interior. Smells great too!

    Whats this bit on the airbox?

    Ok thanks. Could explain why it failed on emissions on its last MOT before passing?

    Whats this bit on the airbox?

    Audi 1.8 T Sport 2001 Only had it a few days, and just taking a closer examination under the bonnet. The previous owner has taped up something on the corner of the airbox - any idea what it is and why he might have done it please?

    Double din to single din?

    Ok, thanks for the advice. Going to stick with the Symphony. The cassette isn't that offensive, and the Bose audio is still a cut above my old system.

    Double din to single din?

    A3 1.8T 2001, post facelift I've got the BOSE Symphony installed. But I've got a great Kenwood single-din stereo (BT92SD) from my old Astra lying unused. Is it possible to fit a single din cage and a pocket in the double din space? Any idea what problems (if any) I'm likely to face?

    Newbie here, opinions please?

    Private purchase. I went there still expecting to find something 'wrong' with it, as all my research seemed to suggest £1100 was a bit on the generous side for a 51 plate. But it all looks good bar some light scratches (possibly someone tried to key it, but its not deep), and a two inch blob...

    Newbie here, opinions please?

    Cam cover shows AUM. Is this significant? Just ran a Fault Code check on the car via TorquePRO. Only thing showing up is P0171 Bank 1, too lean. Will have to look into that. Going to change its fluids and filters at the weekend. Paperwork says they were done this time last year, so due...

    Newbie here, opinions please?

    I want to upgrade the Double Din Symphony stereo, although reading through the boards, it seems problematic!

    Newly released OBD reader port via Bluetooth!

    I've been using TorquePRO for a year or so which does the same thing, although not used it yet since I bought an Audi. May give it a spin tonight!

    Newbie here, opinions please?

    Just bought a 51 plate A3 1.8 T Sport in Ebony black - cost £1100 FSH, 126k on the clock, cambelt done in 2010 (15k miles ago), and very recent clutch change too. Full black leather interior, and Bose system. I thought £1100 was a pretty reasonable price. A few paintwork scratches and...
