Hi, Im really hoping someone who‘s done this job can help me here… I’m trying to change the rear discs and pads, and am unable to push the piston back into the calliper for the new pads to go in. Prior to starting the job I (at least thought) deactivated the parking brake with VCDS, first...

Standard factory Audi system as far as I’m aware. Today I’ve not had the volume issue, but it has been shutting itself off and closing the screen down every now and again, also a couple of times I t bought I had poor reception on the radio, so tried to change to another station - the MMI...

Hi, been having an issue with the MMI for a couple of days now. After a few minutes use, when trying the adjust the volume instead of the volume level bar being displayed on the MMI, I get a greyed out bar, and the words “volume unavailable“. The volume control actually still allows me to...

To be fair, that's a really good point - I had the tyres changed on a different car a couple of years ago, not long after some welding had been done which necessitated removing the wheel. The poor guy at the tyre garage had a hell of a job to undo the wheel bolts because of how much the welder...

Thanks. Interesting that you say you add to bolts as well. I used to do the same until reading an engineering article that explained that you should never grease torqued bolts as the torque is based on metal to metal contact/friction - according to the article, you can easily over torque bolts...

Hi all, I’m about to swap over my discs and pads on this car for the first time. It’s a job I’ve done multiple times on previous cars, but I took a quick look at YouTube just to reassure myself there won’t be any ’surprises’… on the video I watched, the guy applied copper grease to the joining...

Thanks Alpesh, do your valves have the other seal as well, or not?

Ah, so a potential separate problem then! The orange ones do say they are for my car (A3 8V) on them… do you know what the difference between the black and orange ones is? What about your actual values though, do they have a seal that fits against the outer rim of the wheel? (I can’t really see...

Thanks John, useful to know. Actually though, I do have the steering angle tyre track display and the camera remains on until I reach a (slow) forward speed (I guess about 4 mph). I just don’t get the visualisation when I press the button. Back to the retrofitters for me then!!

Another retrofit issue here! I'm trying to fit TPMS to my A3, but the sticking point at the moment seems to be the actual values. I ordered the kit from Kufatec and the values supplied are OEM ones for my car, but the tyre fitters are having issues with fitting them to my wheels (wheels are...

Hi all, question for those who have Front and Rear parking sensors and rear camera factory fitted (or retro fitted and are 100% sure they work as per factory fit!) My car has rear sensors factory fitted, and I am having front sensors and rear camera retro fitted. The retro-fitters are...

Ok great!

I'll have a look to see if I have it still and let you know.

Thanks for your answers guys... I actually haven't got round to fitting it yet, but will do over the next couple of weekends. Hopefully without too many issues!

Good afternoon. My TPMS kit has now arrived which I’ll be fitting this weekend. Having looked at the manual, it says to install the bracket onto 2 bolts located behind the rear wheel. My car doesn’t have those bolts in place, so I was wondering if I need to still place it in that exact area...

Hi all, I’m looking into having a rear parking camera and front sensors retrofitted (I already have rear sensors). The two places I’m looking at are Hazzy Dayz and AudiRetrofits. Hazzy Dayz are a bit more expensive, but I’ve used them on a couple of occasions before and was really happy with...

SiPie, thanks for your comments, but that was my point - I’m looking for advice BEFORE I choose them, because all I have to go on at the moment is how they look… hence my post here.

It’s close to tyre renewal time - I’m going to do all four at the same time. I currently have P Zeros, but thinking of changing to Yokohama Advan Fleva V791s, if I’m honest, because I think they look smart. Has anyone else got experience of these? Or suggestions if other good tyres?

That’s a really good point about the valve stem colour - I have silver wheels at the moment, but considering having them powder coated black… guess I should decide that before buying the valves!

Ah yes, I see. This is what I already have, I didn’t realise that’s what you were referring to. Thanks.
