    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...

    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. I'm happy to stay patient and wait for the parts to come at a good price. Also if anyone could put me in touch with somebody could help me along the...

    Overfilling the Fuel tank?

    I had a long journey the other day so filled up the tank, now i waited till it clicked then topped it up a little. Got in the car and it wouldn't start! Just made a clicking sound! In the end i managed to get a friend to come out and the car jumped started fine! Im puzzled, the battery and...

    Jack's S line, Avus Silver progress thread!

    Been around the forum for a good few months, so figured its time to make a progress thread. I bought my A3, 2.0TDI S-line in November 2013. I wasn't looking for a new car at the time but i stopped to have a little look at the local garage and instantly loved the look of the A3. I was persuaded...

    build quality

    I was passing past my local car garage today and seen a 09 plate a4 outside, so I stopped to have a look and was shocked at how tired it felt inside, it had 60k on it but everything creaked and looked tired. I'm not sure if this just this model that looked shabby, but in general my 2007 a3 feels...

    Sell or upgrade.

    It's got to the stage with my a3 where I'm unsure if I should do the more "expensive mods" such as rotor alloys and s3 bumper etc.. Or just keep the money and save it for the real deal in 1-2 years time. I've currently got a 2007 a3 s line and have been looking at the newer a3's, in particular...

    Warranty direct, yes or no?

    Im in 2 minds if I should purchase some form of warranty for my a3 when the dealer cover expires in a couple of weeks. Ive been quoted £400 from warranty direct for a 2007 2.0 tdi s line, with 97k on the clock. Anybody have experience with them and is it worth it?

    Sad times

    My a3 2.0 tdi s line suddenly has started losing coolant, no visible leaks or anything. I fear the worst. I've just dropped it off for them to look at in the morning. Wasn't the problem with cracked heads fixed from 2006 on? Mine is late 07. Very tempted to just PX it for a bog standard 1.6 non fsi
