    Why do you hate the new A3/S3 8Y?

    I have not been on this forum for around 6 months. I went from having an 8p to 8v and then jumped ship to a bmw f40. This was because I preferred the interior / set up and also due to the dealers not really giving 2’fs when I enquired about the new model launch / when it was in the showroom and...

    Shock abosorber leaking

    Prior to forking out anything. I would suggest making sure that it is actually requiring replaced and not an " up sale" when your car was in to get serviced to make the company an extra couple of hundred quid when it is in for work. I don't know the age of your car, but if you have MOT protect...

    Rear brake issue (pics attached)

    Prior to removing rear disk pads. Also look up previous posts on replacing rear disks and pads. If you don’t, well... let’s say you could end up with a lot bigger problem than a rusty disk

    Rear brake issue (pics attached)

    To be honest that does not look that bad. I had to replace mine as the face of the disc started coming off in sections. Got pads and disks swapped and same is happening again. Unfortunately if you wash you car and don’t run it. Use some wheels cleaners that are aggressive and also don’t do...

    Do 16 inch OEM Audi rims fit?

    If you have someone who can check if your car has different front callipers you are onto a winner. As if they are the same the wheel will clear. If larger, I think you would struggle. As not a lot of clearance.

    Facelift 2.0 TDI (150PS)

    Don't know what the road tax is on the 1ltr, but its 20quid on the derv. If you are doing loads of dual / motorway miles no brainer go for the derv. As no mater what the say the 1ltr will not be giving you over 50mpg.
