    Sold Dog guard - tailored fit for 3D & 5D 8V A3/S3/RS hatch.

    A classic case case of over preparedness this one... Last february I bought a puppy, a four legged companion who has since woven himself into every aspect of my life and has genuinely made it a happier place. He’s my first dog, so naturally I was intent on doing everything right, and being...

    These ****** exhaust tips...

    These exhaust tips are a Royal pain. They look ridiculously bling and over the top when clean, so I've never been a fan anyway, but they seem to be dirty in less than 100 miles and require fastidious attention to keep them as clean as the rest of the car. After only 5000 miles they're scabby as...

    Facelift Two days with a "Poverty Spec" A3 Cabrio. (S3 broken)

    My S3 had to go into Audi for some minor brain surgery, so I've had the pleasure of sampling an A3 from the opposite end of the scale of spec, options, and performance for a couple of days. It's been interesting and revealing in equal measure, so here's a few thoughts. The loan car for a couple...

    The 'top-gear-ken-block-joey-from-friends-850hp-mustang-hoonicorn-going-all-sideyways' vid

    A ten minute vid of Ken Block shot by the BBC for the doomed Chris Evans incarnation of Top Gear. This video seems to have slipped quietly onto the net after the Beeb got in a bit of trouble when Ken "overpaid & over here" Block was filmed doing doughnuts round the cenotaph. It was considered...

    S3 Traction control too sensitive? Poll

    There's a growing number of reports from users with traction control issues on this board (see links below), so I thought it might be a good idea to collate these experiences and see if we can narrow down the root causes. It'd be nice to see if theres any link between issues and the haldex...

    Elite Car Care - Maidenhead? Anyone ever used their services?

    First post in this particular section of the forum... I've had a new S3 on order since February, and it should finally be with me in October. The car is coming for Slough Audi, which is just down the road from Elite Car Care in Maidenhead. ECC are one of G-Techniq's approved purveyors of...

    Audi Car covers £?

    I've had a search, and didn't find a great deal. I just wondered if anyone knows how much the "official" A3 car covers are from Audi? My car regularly sits for extended periods in a very dusty garage and despite many people saying I shouldn't use one, I've found that a car cover is perfect to...
