The other week my window decided to wind down but then on the way up stopped and made a nice grinding noise. I managed to catch it and push it back up by hand. A quick search on hear showed the problem was likely to be a broken plastic clip. Armed with some printouts and glue I set about sorting...

Drivers side strut brace mounting on S3 or people who have fitted them onto the S3 I have a hard coolant pipe running back to the top of the header tank that looks like its going to foul the brace. Anyone else had a similar problem? Think im probably going to have to chop the pipe then use a...

Looking for a bit of advice chaps. Over winter i'm probably going to tone down the Audi a bit ditching the front bumper for something more subtle/factory and changing the wheels. I have decided on some nice plain BBS CH. Im just not sure what size to go for. 18's/19's? width size and best...

A3 "TT Pedal Style" Footrest Got the design and price ideas from my mate who has sorted this out for me. Due to the minimum order i would be looking for about 15 people to buy them for around £20 plus postage of a few quid. The idea is to bond the laser cut, pre folded metal sheet onto the...

When I am on my gallery if i click either edit or delete the next screen i see is blank white and the message at the bottom just says "Done" Anyone else getting this? Also, can I have my name changed to SyA3Turbo

Is there any difference between the 2wd and 4wd Front Damper arrangement on the A3 and if so, what differs. Cheers Simon

Hey up, not been around much lately due to being busy with work but thought i'd pop in to share some piccys! After posting some pics of my car a while back on Edition 38, this was posted - At the time I wasnt too keen on the red rims so decided to go for black but changed my mind after...

I currently have the recaros out of the A3 so i decided while i was doing this i would sort the airbag light problem and also the heated seats in there too. A quick look in my A3 haynes shows the wiring for the electric seats and heating elements. I dont think this is for the Recaro model...

Been after a TT style on for a while but can be bothered to hack on from a tt up. As far as i know, no body does these yet? I was chatting to a mate from my old Ka owning days who had a load of custom stainless steel grills made up. They were all top notch quality and perfect fit. I asked him...

Im replacing the carpet in my A3 after spilling a tin of roof sealing paint in there and need to basically order a whole new interior carpet section. Tried a few dealers who are looking at around 340-360 trade inc vat for the part. Anyone got any suggestions as to where i can pick one up? I...

I took the bose sub out of the A3 the other day as its pretty redundent now i have two 12s in there. When i did this i noticed i lost sound from the rear speakers. Are they connected through the same wiring in some way or amplified through bose? Any help of advice to get them working again...

I spent most of the night last night switching the alarm on my T sport quattro off. I was round at the girlfriends and the alarm started going off so i disarmed then rearmed it. A few minutes later and it was going again. Checked the bonnet boot and doors and reset it. A few mins later it was...

Just need to check that the rear springs fit on with the adjusters at the bottom of the spring. If this is the case has anyone found the lower standard spring retainer needs modifying to allow the threader adjuster to fit over it with ease? Any help or advice would be great. Simon

i know the tt owners reckon this makes an improvment to the general running of the car. Is it an issue on the a3/s3? The reason i ask is my cars revs hunt on idle and dont seem to drop and stay level. Worthwhile or not? Is there an ICV on the a3 or will it be conrolled by the fly by wire throttle?

I have been sourcing bits for my brake conversion as i couldnt afford to splah out on an ecs kit (which i would have loved to) I have managed to lay my hands on the discs and calipers so far so i took a pic Does this look right? To me it doesnt look like ill be making full use of the disc...

I have just had a letter from my insurance company regarding the setting up of my policy on the audi. This states i need at least a cat 2 imobiliser fitted to my car for cover. Is the standard audi system thatcham rated or is there any way to find out if it is? Cheers in advance Simon

I need to change my front pads on the car so i decided i could perhaps upgrade to something a bit better. The thing is, once i started looking it became clear that there are loads of different kits out there using all sort of different bits and i haven't a clue whats best and what's best value...

I got in the car this evening to be greated by a warning light on the dash. Looking in the hand book it looks like a bulb out warning light but the picture isn't the same. Does anyone know whats up with my car?

....or are the lights on the A3 very very poor as standard. I had a ford Ka before this and night time driving was never a problem. Now night time driving is lethal. I may as well be blindfolded. Is this just a common thing. Is there any cure? Later spec xenons (cost, difficulty?) I have a...

Im currently in the process of running my amp wires from my headunit to the back of the car. I want to be able to make this as neat as possible so im going to remove the glove box. Will this give me access to the side and rear of the headunit area and along the bulkhead. Also, is there much...
