    DIS service message

    I've started getting a message on the DIS at ignition, stating "Service in 5700MI 24 Days" I've done just 6800 so that sounds fine to me. But what's the 24 days all about? It started off at 28 (that I noticed) ans has gone down to 24 in the last 3 days. Car just 13 months old, so a bit...

    Question about weight

    Just been flicking through the manual and noticed the spec printed on the inside cover on the Service schedule booklet, the unladen weight is shown as 1569. According to all the specs I have read, the A3 3.2 has an unladed weight of 1495 (which I thought was a lot anyway!) so what gives?

    Appreciate some advice on door after smashed window...

    Well moving on from my incident with the stone through the window, I've now had Autoglass replace the glass. However I'm not a happy bunny. Autoglass are unable to remove all the broken glass from inside the door. Apparently the design of the door has a hollow tube at the bottom inside which...
