    PCP Advice - RS3 Saloon

    More of a personal view, but after a few PCPs with well spec'd cars, I'd never bank on equity in a PCP.. More likely on a longer term deal though. Have you tried running your spec through Carwow? That's normally my starting point to check initial discounts/PCP rates

    New A6 C8 Avant 2.0 tdi

    I had a saloon as a loan car last week from my dealer. Definitely a looker! Still not sure on the touchscreen environmental controls, have to look away from the road to use them!

    Car too expensive to repair, how to sell?

    I'd be tempted to do that, but we've just bought our first place so money is sparse... It'd make a good project for someone

    Car too expensive to repair, how to sell?

    The bills is between £1000 and £1400 (depending on if it needs a new head), but the issue leading to sell is partly down to me needing to get a new car for work (a lot of driving now!). So I was advised that taking the money for the car as is would likely be the best idea. A friend of the...

    Car too expensive to repair, how to sell?

    Cracked head and turbo impellers ********... Annoying, because it's sound otherwise! Plus I've poured money into it (bixenons etc)

    Car too expensive to repair, how to sell?

    As the title says, my A3 is in the garage with a repair bill more than I warrant paying... How is best to sell it in it's condition and at least try to retain some money to use for a deposit for a replacement?

    Garage East Midlands

    Can anyone recommend a garage in the vicinity of Ashby-de-la-Zouch (East Mids)? Driving up the M40 for work today and my 2.0 TDi decided it didn't fancy holding oil anymore and has proceeded to start ******* it out somewhere near the coolant expansion tank!

    Knocking noise when no gear engaged (2.0 TDi '05)

    My 2005 2.0 TDi A3 has been developing a horrible knocking noise which also comes with a faint vibration from the clutch pedal (the sound seems to be relative to the engine speed). This noise goes away when a gear is engaged, and engaging/disengaging the clutch with no selected gear makes no...
