Hi all, I'm hoping someone can help me... I've recently been having trouble changing gears at high RPM. It's OK just driving gently and changing below 3k revs, but if I go higher than that, when I try to change gear it is very difficult to get into gear (both up and down). It can be done but...

Well I called Audi today who confirmed my car is eligible for the coil pack replacement, so have booked in for 4th December as they had no earlier appointments. I'll get a courtesy car while it's in, the car will be washed and vacuumed, and get a full health check- all for free! I love Audi...

UPDATE / FURTHER WARNING LIGHT! For anyone interested, I had another warning light come on tonight, but this time it was the Emission Control System light. I pulled out of a car park and the light started flashing and the engine misfiring. It felt sluggish as I crossed the road and coasted into...

Haha, ok, but once we've swapped wheels we should swap cars, so that I have your car with my wheels! :sly:

I got mine done last week, cost £100 and looks great. It's the same guy that does them for my local Audi dealers but I'm sure they would have charged me 3 times as much! I had read £100-£300 on the forums before getting it done, with people arguing £100 would be a crappy job. But these are...

It was good to meet you too Jake. I agree with the "if it ain't broke dont fix it!" I've spent too much money lately, forgot to leave any for Christmas presents, oops! :P so if I can just leave it I'm happy with that. And don't worry, it was recently highlighted that there is no speed limit on...

A massive thanks to Jake 61 for coming out to meet me at my place of work this morning! :superman: I couldn't have asked for someone more helpful, friendly and efficient- coming out to me at such short notice, saving me any hassle, and setting my mind at ease! :yahoo: There were a few...

Ok, here's what I've got: Seal Leon LCR Splitter. Part No: 1ML 805 903 Quote from unknown member: "Cost for this ranges from about £17 plus vat to whatever the thieving gits think they can charge" Most common/recommended fitting method: 20mm self tappers, and a heat gun to help get the ends to...

Thanks Jake, much appreciated. :happy:

I've read on here somewhere that the leon cupra splitter fits (not sure of exact year) I've got the part number noted at home but I'm at work just now. I'll post it when I get home later if no-one else has by then.

Thanks leshkin, I have sent a message to the person nearest to me. Will be good to get it checked out and hopefully find its nothing, or at least nothing serious!

Got the back 3 windows tinted, only cost £100 from the same place that does the local Audi dealers cars (though I'm sure if I took it to Audi they'd charge me 4 x as much and get the same guy to do it!) And gave her a wash.

Hi Folks, I washed the A3 this afternoon for the first time since picking it up last week. Then went out in it after about 20 minutes. After 15-20 minutes of sedate driving, sitting behind an HGV at about 45mph, I felt the car lose power and saw that the EPC and ESP lights had come on the dash...

Well, after considering the options all day I think I'm going with the lesser known Anycar adapter which seems to tick all the boxes and comes in at least £40 less than my other options. People seem to say good things about it too. There's a youtube video of a guy demonstrating some of its...

Thanks Tim, that video was really helpful, well explained and produced! Looks like you have a lot of videos that could be of help to me (I had already watched 2 of them!) you have a new subscriber! :happy:
