    I have the same question. I have a 2006 A3 8P with the 2.0l Turbo and FWD. Looking to prolong the life and reduce the carbon deposits on my valves. Had them cleaned once. 220k kms. So many catch cans to choose and the guy at Engineering Explained on YT suggest that the "quality/price" doesn't...

    bluetooth adapter for concert 2

    The Denison unit will allow song title displace in the centre instrument cluster, not on the radio. Sometimes Apple iPhone updates cause a few minor issues however after a couple of resets, all comes back. If you have an alert about a light bulb, fuel, oil, etc. The display and the wheel...

    bluetooth adapter for concert 2

    The eBay one that you sent the link for will not work with the harness wires of the Concert II. I replaced my Dension Gateway 5 ( https://www.ebay.com/itm/Dension-Gateway-5-Five-03-1458-VW-BAP-V1R7-70/282990864753?epid=19020065988&hash=item41e391e971:g:YkgAAMXQ3kNTf2lt&vxp=mtr ) My hardware...

    340mm TTRS brake upgrade

    You are so right! Twice I have been tagged by those that follow too close and/or do not maintain their cars; balding tires, too fast for the conditions, etc. Presently, she's stock just a little over the 200 bhp. I am considering going only to stage 1 as I won't be tracking her; perhaps just...

    340mm TTRS brake upgrade

    I have a 2006 A3 8P with stock brakes (and stock 17's lowered w HR Springs) and will need to replace the rotors soon. I'm trying to sort out spending the extra for drilled/slotted (Zimmerman???) with my stock calipers. I'm in Canada and performance places are a little rare. I'm looking for best...

    What size rims can I get away with on spacers and H&R springs?

    just increasing the diameter of the wheel isn't the issue. You will need to make certain that the overall diameter matches the stock set-up of wheel + tire height. Otherwise, your speedo will not be properly calibrated. There are a number of "diameter" calculators especially from tire suppliers...

    bluetooth adapter for concert 2

    I sourced (2006 A3 8P) a Dension from Enfig a very long time ago and was extremely happy with the way it integrates with the steering wheel controls and the song display function in the dash. Plugs in to the factory harness and then you plug the factory harness back into the supplied connector...

    Direct front speaker replacement in A3 8P

    It's come time to tweak the 5 door 8P and I've been reading threads about front replacements, replacing the sub, etc. I think I have a Concert II and no idea if it's Bose or not. I would like to use my stock HU as I put in a Dension Gateway 5 unit to add Bluetooth/USB/iPod/iPhone. Works great...
