Swapped my 06 sports seats for 2010 black edition half leathers, sitting on them they seemed slightly higher than the original seats. Putting this down to newer seats with firmer padding and preferring to adjust slightly lower I ground the end of the ratched/cog adjustment under the seat to an...

Being frustrated by the high prices for genuine S-Line/S3 bumpers without grilles/ fogs etc I came across this Replica S3 bumper kit on ebay complete with grill, fogs etc in abs plastic (not fiberglass) that is supposed to be a direct replacement with all factory fixing mounts etc, only...

8x18 et43 Audi DTM Ronals, lowered 35mm H&R:)

Finally got around to putting some pic's up of my current 06 A3 2.0 tdi sport. It's a work in progress as parts are sourced when they turn up at the right price. Got my hands on a facelift rear bumper to replace the old dated version, next was the latest dark facelift rear clusters, S3 pedals...

Finally got around to fitting new Bilstein B4 and 35mm H&R springs to my 06 A3 tdi sport. Car had done 112k so thought suspension and top mount bearings could do with a refresh. Wanted at least the same comfort as before and a small drop. The ride with the B4's and 35mm H&R is actually more...

Hello, looking at purchasing some facelift rear lights for my 3 door A3, can anyone confirm if the following part no. is for RHD lights as on the forum it states RHD but on google it states LHD? Part No. 8P3 945 095A thanks.

Changed the box oil for Total BV 75W80 Transmission Manual Gear Box Oil TOT-149980-2 - 2x1L = 2 Litre | eBay, it is an improvement over the VW Oil, with a smoother feeling to the shift but still makes the occasional grind on the 1st to 2nd change when cold. Also did a gear linkage reset which...

Wanted set of S4 B6 Avus alloys, don't mind if they need a refurb as long as they are straight and not badly kerbed. Please PM me if you have any for sale, thanks.

Decided to change the oil on my 102k 06 2.0TDI 6 speed box as the change wasn't the best especially when cold, looking through the forums the general opinion was to use the latest VW/Audi Gear Oil (G 052 171 A2), changed the oil (came out very dirty)and... change is worse! very notchy and a...

looking at a few for sale before I got this one and was surprised with the amount of cars with corrosion on the bottom of the drivers door as my last one was an 04 and had zero corrosion anywhere?

Sand all rust off and use 500ml spray can of rustoleum galva zinc either grey or alloy, stops rust coming back and looks oem:thumbsup:

Yes think it is, was after another black one but I actually prefer the silver now:cool:

Well after selling my old 04 A3 2.0TDI Sport 5 years ago (regretting it ever since) and getting through a 3.2v6 DSG TT and Civic Type R Premier edition, im very happy to be an A3 owner again, managed to get a well cared for 2006 A3 TDI Sport with Bluetooth, Auto lights etc, over the moon! :)

I kept my private Reg when I sold the car, that is the new Reg, don't know if that's why its not showing? I sold it for a 3.2v6 TT, pile of junk, don't get me started on DSG boxes lol.

Bit of a long shot..., but for sentimental reasons :slap:I'm trying to track down my old A3 to possibly buy back, I am based in N.Ireland car was sold may 13 in Markethill NI, 2004 Volcano Black A3 Tdi sport, Reg: PNZ 4282, S3 Skirts, rear valance, alcantara S3 steering Wheel, 19" RS4 gunmetal...
