    TFSI-e

    Does anyone have info on if/when Audi will bring a PHEV variant to the A4/A5?? As a company car driver, it seems the only option nowadays given the tax savings on offer. Seems like Audi are well behind the rest of the market on this when it comes to the mid segment. Sent from my iPhone using...

    ATS for tyres?

    Michelin own both ATS and blackcircles. So quite often the best deals can be found there. Always best to use the internet as a barometer for price then use this with a local independent tyre depot to see if they can price match. The old saying goes: would you rather deal with a man or a mouse...

    Acceptable PSI loss?

    You'll know if the wheel is buckled when they put it on the balancer and spin it. My advice (I'm a tyre guy) ask a decent tyre place to use bead sealer. That's most likely your issue. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

    What's the right tyre for 19 x 8.5J ?

    I've been in tyres for over 20yrs fella and I can assure you not all tyres are made in China. These are not mid range tyres. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

    What's the right tyre for 19 x 8.5J ?

    255 or 235 - it's almost irrelevant if you choose to fit those black lion tyres. You'll not be on the road long enough for the size to matter. Seriously tho - 235/35R19 is the correct size. Just don't fit ****** chinese budget sliders to your car. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

    Get an every day car for every day use and get a caterham for those weekend thrills. Choose the right caterham and you'll not lose much ££ over 3yrs. Sent from my SM-G928F using Tapatalk

    New to the group - seeking advice

    My company runs quite a few A3's on the fleet. A mixture of 1.6 TDi and 2.0 TDi . All vehicles cover between 30k-50k per year with a good mix of driver styles and journey types. The difference in fuel consumption is very minimal (2-3mpg max) However the power difference is significant Sent...

    Silly season offer

    Compared to the 1.5 deal this seems particularly good value. I can't comment on this deal vs others out there in the market today however. Sent from my SM-G928F using Tapatalk

    Potholes! Can I still drive on this tyre?

    Defo get that changed fella. Imagine what it looks like at motorway speeds when the tyre is hot. Think of the damage that a blowout would cause. Sent from my SM-G928F using Tapatalk

    Grill surround removal Audi A3 8V

    Once I realised it was a whole bumper off job, I immediately abandoned that option. Too technical for me. Someone with elsawin will be able to share diagrams etc on how it's done. Ref my experience. I went to a local sign writer and bought an off cut of gloss black vinyl (approx 1m2) I watched...

    Grill surround removal Audi A3 8V

    It's a full bumper off job unfortunately. I wrapped mine in gloss black whilst still on the car. Slightly fiddly, but the lesser of two evils. Sent from my SM-G928F using Tapatalk
