    Swaping steering wheel

    How hard is it to swap the steering wheel on an A3. Obviously its got an airbag and I don't want the little fu#ker going off in my face! I'm happy to put another Audi unit in, mines just a bit tired. I'd also like to swap the gear knob as thats showing signs of age too.

    Key/alarm fob

    I've just bought a '99 A3 unfortunatly it only came with the service key not the flip key fob. The car also has a Sigma alarm fitted and you guessed it I don't have the fob for that either. Which one is going to be easier/cheaper to replace?

    How big/small? A3 rear speakers

    I've just bought a '99 A3 SE (does that make it an 8L?). To my total dissbelief having fitted my Sony MP3/CD I have found my car only has 2 speakers! Looks like that is the original spec. Can i retro fit rears? What size are they? There are no wires so I'll have to run them, while I'm at it...

    Selling cars

    Having had some git come round to look at my Audi yesterday and try to pull a fast one on me I thought I'd post a thread on selling cars, the do's and don'ts. I'm not talking about the e-mail scams, these are when some one comes to look at your car. 1/ Never leave the keys in the ignition...

    With the unfortunate event of having to advertise my car for sale I did a search on Autotrader to get a rough idea of what they are fetching. Despite having done a national search with all the possible combinations I could think of I found only 1 and that was an avant not a saloon like mine...

    I have just had a set of PI lowering springs (-35mm) that I bought off e-bay (£35 new) fitted. Looks better and even rides better, probably handles better too but as its a quattro anyway you have to bee going like a nutter to find out!

    B4 80 Brakes?

    I know that the B4 model 80 had hydraulicaly assisted ABS equipped brakes. The question is what are they supposed to feel like in use? The brakes on my 2.6E Quattro do stop the car well enough but don't feel sharp. I have bled the brakes but that didn't improve feel much. I know Audi's...

    Powerflow exhausts

    Has anyone got any experience of Powerflow exhaust systems? What do they sound like, cost? Any increase in power?????? I'm a bit short on alternative options as I run a 80 B4 2.6E Quattro and nobody seems to make sports systems for that model.
