Afraid not. Still on economy mode I'm afraid (although went too far with my last A3)
Manual, diesel, 184hp.
£6k discount.

First impressions are very good. Love the outside. Love the inside. Love the kit.

Just need to work out how to get my daughter into the back........
Tomorrow's problem.

Lovely looking car Craig!!

The wife is complaining on her fuel economy so i think we will be trading the amplified edt TT in for one like that but S-tronic probs....
..not even been 6 months tho . Maybe i will keep it and trade the S3 in for diesel something or other..

Anyhoo glad to still see you around.

I had a interim oil change done in the week, plus I had a new set of front disc's and pads done as well(which I'm bedding in for 500 odd miles!)

But yet again after saying i did not want my car valeted they did grrrrr(I forgot to put those DO NOT WASH MY CAR sign's i downloaded on here doh!). Anyway I don't know what they used inside because there was a sort of lemon smell in the car thanks to them, so i just spent a little time giving all the dash/doors/trim plastic bits a good clean with Audi's Cockpit Spray and giving all the leather bits a good going over as well with Audi's Leather Care. Thanks Audi

Will keep an eye on mine...Thanks Oli..

 

[CraigI]

Wondered if it was the saggy seat issue.
Wife's car is suffering.

 

[OliS3]

The leather in the 8v seems to mark easy and doesn't wear that well. Hopefully Audi don't stick to the 6k miles / 6 months wear and tear rule if anyone else has issues

Taking the wheels off to seal!

Best way to remove the surface rust?

Where should I copper grease when putting back on?

Both times mines been in I've asked them not to wash it, the first time was fine but the advisor admitted it was only the do not wash sign that stopped it being done as the guy doubled checked after being told to wash and then he saw the sign. Seems to be the only way to make sure they don't.

Sad thing is you can't even trust the place you bought your car from to wash it without damaging it

Use a wire brush Dremel attachment if you have one or just some emery cloth.

Apply CG to the outer lip diameter that the wheel centre locates to and then inside that diameter and also around the bearing cap won't hurt. Do not apply on the main large flat face that the wheel sits against.

Nothing special, but swapped out the halfords White LEDs for better (and cheaper) eBay LEDs, just interiors so far, may do sidelights but I never use them.

Stock

Halfords (lovely white circle on the cover...)

eBay, 10 for a fiver, with red cylindrical resistors (bottom row) built in to avoid errors

Difference between Halfords (2 for £8) and eBay (10 for £5) in the daylight

Now I just have to wait 6 months for it to be dark enough outside to see the benefit...

https://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/151796555804 Ordered Thursday night, delivered Monday

 

[Hondafanatic]

I debadged the back end and put matt black rings on the front.

Finally got round to finishing the modified air-intake as per the instructions on here and removed the blanking plate from the top row of the grill.

Then went through a box of plasters and a bottle tcp mending my shredded hands.

Then washed and waxed the car.

Then more plasters and tcb.

Then perfected the art of typing with my nose...a la this post.

Good work! Did exactly the same when modifying my intake, I think the neighbours' kids are still scarred from the many many expletives that day...
Some people say they can't tell the difference, but I can definitely hear the intake better, sounds that little bit beefier. And I'll take all the beef I can get on a 1.6

Overdue wash yesterday, when I randomly decided to spray some Meg's NXT Speed Detailer on the car whilst wet before a final rinse. Have to say it seems to have worked!
