    service cost

    Thats a local indy, the car has been pretty much been serviced + MOT there all its life. I have a mate who's services his 520d himself and has offered to service mine in exchange for some beer tokens. But come resale time i will probably lose out. I guess thats a reasonable price.

    service cost

    It's the time we all dread, service and MOT. Just been quoted £282.65 for a full service and MOT for my 2.0 tdi. Does that seem a bit steep? I do get a courtesy car and trust the garage to do a good job. I know I could get cheaper but not being mechanically minded I'm worried I could get ripped...

    Best Battery For 2.0 Tdi With Rnse

    You don't need anything special for the RNSE. Audi still use the standard battery from factory regardless of what ICE you have. A £50 battery from euro car parts will be more than sufficent. It's comes with a 3 year warranty too.

    Facelift Cost.

    I'm just looking to do a non s3 facelift, not too bothered by fancy DRL's, I'm aiming for around £1000-£1200. I reckon that's achievable. My concern is spraying is gonna cost a bomb.

    Facelift Cost.

    I'm fully aware of the work involved to facelift an 2007 a3 to a 2012, just wondered what sort of price people have managed to complete the job on.

    Help Needed S Line Vs Sport

    Dependent on year the main difference are the front and rear bumper, looks more aggressive and the s line has a rear diffusor. Sports seats, 18" alloys with sports suspension, s line branding and black headlining. IMO it's worth upgrading too just because it looks and feels that little bit more...

    Advice

    The climate control would be very expensive to retrofit, not worth the hassle. Converting the front lights to bright DRL is achievable. Retrofitters such as ash187 and NHN can offer you assistance in this area if you're not confident fitting it yourself. Pretty much every upgrade is do-able...

    Maybe have a look into fake CCTV, like people have said it'll act as a major deterrent.

    S3 - Convert Ipod To Standard Mp3 Jack Input

    Im no audio expert but i believe you cant convert it . The options you'd have would be to buy a cheap ipod and permanently have it in there, but be aware it doesn't charge the ipod. Or you can buy an adaptor that would allow you the unit to function for AUX. Im sure a quick search on the forum...

    Rsne

    Doubt it can be done, I'm afraid you're best option would be to sell it and replace it with one from an a3.
