    Damage to S-line Front Grille

    Unfortunately just a bad scrape/hit in a car park! Probably not worth claiming on insurance given the impact on no claims and premium. I think that price was for all of the parts required, but then labour on top would add quite a bit too.

    Damage to S-line Front Grille

    I was quoted over £1000 just for the parts to have this fixed by an authorised Audi bodyshop. Apparently the grille would need to be replaced. Any advice about how much this should cost to repair is appreciated. Thanks.

    Air Vent Magnet Phone Holder for 8V

    I have an iPhone 6. Wanted to use one of these because in London traffic, Waze is significantly better than the £1000 Audi maps I paid for and I'd like to see the screen close to where the main screen is.

    Air Vent Magnet Phone Holder for 8V

    I recently ordered this Automobio phone holder hoping it would fit the 8V's unusual air vents. Unfortunately, it doesn't. The only report of one working I can find is the Blue-Garuda (pictured below) but it can't be ordered in the UK, unless from eBay with about £10 shipping costs from the US...

    Front bumper scratch - what to do?

    I was going to give the car a good wash and see if that helps remove some of the marks. Should I do the WD40 before or after washing?

    Front bumper scratch - what to do?

    Stupidly misjudged a narrow driveway and scraped the driver's side S-line bumper on a pillar. What are the options available to me? Should I take it to a local Audi garage, or are there cheaper places that will be able to replace/respray the bumper just as good?

    Quad pipes ... only for show?

    Is the S3 steering set up significantly different to an A3? I have my steering in Dynamic, but gearbox Comfort in the A3. The Comfort steering on the A3 is far too light and makes the car feel a bit flimsy. Maybe something is wrong with mine?

    Little surprises?

    Can be disabled in MMI car settings. For people like me, who have accidentally pressed in their pocket to return to the car finding all the windows open!

    S3 Reviews...a collection

    I don't know why I care, but I'm so used to it that I find it really discomforting to drive cars that just show "D" on the dash instead. I leave my car in auto most of the time but still like to know what gear it's in, at least with the gearbox I have in mine. I find it really useful, but...

    S3 Reviews...a collection

    Winding Road video Notice how in D and S, there are no gear numbers. I could not live with that, must be something for the US models?

    A3 1.4 TFSI COD Fuel Economy

    I've found that you can get good economy, but it is hugely sensitive to how you drive. On the motorway, going less than 70 really helps, and obviously never braking or accelerating much. In town, it's generally in 2 cylinder mode around 30mph, but it's annoying that 30mph is at the point where...

    apple lightning Audi cable.

    Ordered a yellow cable off eBay and they send me a white one. Waste of time.

    apple lightning Audi cable.

    Yep, it's definitely the cable. It sometimes starts working, but then I move the phone slightly and it stops again. Do I have to pay £40 or whatever for a new one?!

    apple lightning Audi cable.

    My green-collared cable doesn't seem to be working anymore – it just shows the loading screen when selecting my iPhone under media. Tried an MMI reset and unplugging the phone several times. Do these cables break pretty easily? Do Audi replace faulty ones?

    Pretty excited...first Audi!

    My 1.4 TFSI (150PS) with S tronic also does this. The juddering is only noticable in 1st and 2nd gear. I'm sure it is a characteristic of the DQ200 box, as all other cars with this box I've driven exhibit the same thing.

    Cool down time

    Surely these engines are designed with Start/Stop in mind and are designed to be switched off without any idling necessary after any driving?

    GPS not working when cold

    I'm sure it has nothing to do with temperature, that's just the only thing I can correlate it with. Surely it is not supposed to take this long to acquire a fix? My iPhone can do it perfectly in a second (obviously has some help from cell/wifi locations)
