    Wing Mirror and Brake Pads

    Got my 2nd oil and filter change today at 28,000 miles. On the way home down a country road but wide enough for 2 cars a Peugeot 2008 jeep hit my wing mirror (I was hitting the overhanging hedge branches on my passenger side as he hit me). They drove on but I stopped as my mirror had folded in...

    Removing Dealer Surround on Number Plate

    Is it possible to have a number plate on my 8V without having the dealer surround thing installed? Just started looking online and can't find anything useful but it looks impossible as the plate that pops out of the surround doesn't have any screws or similar.

    Front Grill Emblem

    I've replaced my rear boot emblem with a black matte badge. The one I got was only a millimetre or two different from the original but it doesn't really matter on the boot. However, the one I got for the front grill which is 273mmx94mmx12mm doesn't look quite right. The 273mmx94mm is the exact...

    Oil Topup

    Have had my 2016 A3 8v Saloon BE 1.6 TDI for 7 weeks now. 13kms on it when I bought it and there is 4,500km on it now. I checked the oil level when I got it and it was perfect (just at the max end of the dipstick). About 10 days ago I checked the oil and it was at 75%. Today I checked and it was...

    Drivers Electric Front Seat Adjustment

    I was just checking all the product codes in the boot today and it says I should have '3PQ' which according to (http://prsearch.planetvag.com/) should be 'Electric Front Seat Driver Adjustment'. I don't have this as far as I know anyway. I just have all the handles for forward/back, up/down...
