Hi Guys, The handbrake button on my Audi A3 1.9 TDI has started to stick...only way i can get it to apply the handbrake sometimes is to pull the handbrake up without pushing the button in. Has anyone had the same problem? any idea how to fix or how much it would cost to fix? Cheers for...

The rear brake bulb has recently gone in my A3 (52 plate) and i'm abit stumped as to how to replace the bulb?! I've had a quick look and from the looks of it i have to unbolt the screws holding the whole light cluster in then replace the bulb that way, because you can't slide out the clip...

Hi Chaps, Can anyone recommend a good valeting service in the Oxfordshire area? i'm looking at having my car cleaned before i sell it so i want to make sure they do a good job, so going on someone's recommendation would be ideal instead of picking a random company from the yellow pages...

no, but my arguement was i paid them £440 for a audi service....which they reported a false fault..they could of charge me for (we'll never know) & they neglected to tell me my tyres were 0.4mm away from being illegal.... end of the day, if i go to audi for a service and pay through the...

...well i just got back from the dealer....didn't really need to say much they had a look......oh look no rip..excuse was "yeah there was alot of oil so the mechanic assumed it was ripped"....."so you mean he didn't bother looking properly?!"...."ummm yeaah"....here's a credit note to say sorry...

Gave the original dealer a ring yesterday and politely outlined the issue of the 'prefectly fine cv boot'...they ask if i can bring it in for a second look...would of thought they would of done this when reporting a fault in the first place?! ...but nevermind. anyway i'll see what they say on...

[ QUOTE ] Hardly worth going diesel then really? [/ QUOTE ] maybe....i've put 14K on it since i got it plus for resale i'll hopefully be able to get more with a lower mileage ...the alternative was a s3, but the insurance was a silly amount

[ QUOTE ] 2nd service? blimey that must be a low miler? [/ QUOTE ] yup...34K miles on a 52 plate A3 1.9 TDI (130)

[ QUOTE ] Come on. Get this into proportion, and get back to enjoying your car [/ QUOTE ] ...yeah i know my toys are firmly out of my pram It still annoys me when you pay that much at a dealer they can stuff it up [ QUOTE ] Your car must be over 3 years old so why are you still...

yeah i don't plan to go monkey poo on them down the phone, it was just the fact it was booked in to have it replaced with them shortly and i wudn't have know about it if i hadn't have had it checked....mistakes are made yes...but it does bring up the question how good was my service if they got...

Had my car service lasted month and the dealer said ( and printed on my service sheet) the cv boot was split and needed replacing (190 quid!! )...so i had a 3rd party mechanic have a look at it to see how bad it was...to my surprise he said there's nothing wrong with them, so i go to another...

....127mph ...on a private runway of course in a non chipped A3 TDI (130) ...i think i cud get a little more out of it as well

..just had my A3 serviced by my local audi stealer, and they kindly told me the cv boot was going and it would need replacing (why not tell me this during the service?! ) anyway...i'm sure they replaced this last year under warranty, so that can't be right its going again, has anyone had...
