Nah, but the Audi WAS recovered 8 months later and bought by a guy in north wales. I had an insurance payout so its not all doom and gloom. However I now drive a 1996 1.2 Renault Clio :o/

Sorry mate my VAGCOM was nicked along with my Audi.

Ok, must be conincidence that the other customer with a silver s3 with backdraft kit is also called Gavin. Apologies Mark.

Thanks for the post Mark but I'm a little confused. I'm not sure what you mean by you can vouch for me turning up at your workshop with my audi with bits ripped off? I havn't visited you guys since Sept 07 and nothing has ever been ripped off my car. And also not sure what you mean about being...

Cheers Tom. Your comment made me and the missus smile (she works for the scum bag camera unit). lol

that's the best news I've heard yet. fingers crossed. thanks again for the comments fellas, it does make me feel a tad better knowing like-minded individuals understand my loss. Gav. PS I keep looking at the empty space in my car park I wondering where it is now...I wish I knew :shrug:

Next car is getting a tracker... :o(

Thanks JoJo. Should be covered by MRC but unlikely to get back anything like what was spent on the mods. Just have to wait and see... Anything that you can do to help get wider coverage is appreciated. Cheers. Gav

I have a strange misfire problem that I cannot find a thread on anywhere else. Every time I take my foot OFF the accelerator and coast I get multiple cylinder misfires. No misfires on acceleration and car feels great. This happens on cold starts and when warm. VAGCOM results show: 4 Faults...

The alarm box on the s3 is indeed a bu**er to get to. Unlike the very helpful TT tutorial, the S3 takes a bit more work. I just did mine last night. 4.5 hours. OK, so I'm not a seasoned DIY'er but still it was a job. You really need to take out the rear light cluster as without doing this you...

Nice :icon_thumright:

I had the same thing happen to me on the way to Guilford from Bristol. Ended up taking it to the Audi dealership in Guilford. They ended up wanting nearly £700 pounds :wtf: to replace the broken spring and some other stuff (can't remember now what). After I said "no way", they refused to put...
