Just out of curiosity Rob, where do you buy your alloy wheels from? Had terrible experience years ago buying from an online site who wouldn’t allow me to return them despite them being the wrong size etc

Just sent you a message/conversation

I’ve had a manual A3 2.0 tdi Quattro 170 black edition s line for over 2&1/2 years now. Great car, good economy and great power/torque when needed. The car looks good, prefer the look of the sportback plus they have the upgraded rear lights. Realistically I get about 450 miles from a full...

I had several letters from Audi to get my 2010 A3 2.0 TDI 170 brought in, but I declined. There was a lot of media coverage regarding it with people saying that they felt a drop in performance and had issues after it had been done. Not having it done doesn’t affect the future emissions band or...

Thanks for your help. It was changed at approx 55,000 miles (6 years) so won’t need to think about changing it again until about 2020.

Great thanks for the info. Is there anything else I would need to do in the next 20,000 miles apart from the usual servicing/oil changes? I had the brake fluid changed last year.

Hi all, Can anyone assist in telling me the size of brake discs I need on my 2010 Audi A3 Sportback 2.0tdi Quattro 170. It's the black edition S-Line. I've been told there are 3 different sizes of brake discs but I don't know which size I have. Thanks in advance

That's great thanks for clearing it up.

Thanks for your help guys. Does the filter need changing the same time as the oil?

Hi, I'm a new member. Recently purchased a 2010 A3 Sportback black edition Quattro. I had it serviced last week and was advised that I may need a 'Four wheel coupling oil change' I've tried to do my own research but is this basically an oil change on the 4 wheel drive Quattro system? Thanks in...
