I'd like to remove it from the system. Does anyone know how? I don't own a VCDS cable but I have OBDeleven. It would help a...

    Please share your 1.5/35TFSI dyno graph - stock and re-mapped, plz

    Hello. My car was re-mapped (ECU and TCU) last summer. There was no dyno at the dealers who flashed a new map from a reputable local (DK) supplier. The car felt more alive, but I expected more torque in low-mid range of revs. Also I liked numbers so I ran a dyno test later and was disappointed...

    Steering wheel stitching

    Hello everyone. I bought a flat bottom steering wheel with paddles and while I was waiting it to arrive, I got an idea to add RS look stitching to it. The stitching must be the same Lasso Brown colour to match the rest of the interior. Do you know anyone who could do this job for a reasonable price?

    Facelift Is an A3/S3 steering wheel same as an A4/S4 one?

    Hello. I own a 2019 Audi A3. I was going to buy a flat bottom steering wheel from an ebay seller who sold it as an A3/S3 steering wheel. My concern is that the oem number provided is 8K0419091CN. The "8K0" suggests that it's an A4 part (an A3/S3 part starts with 8V0). I need the wheel only as...

    Cargo net for a Sportback?

    Hello everyone! Can anyone help me finding the right part number for a cargo/luggage net for a FL 8V Sportback? All cargo nets I saw on ebay so far seemed to fit a saloon. Is it the same for a saloon and a sportback? A sportback has a smaller boot, so perhaps a saloon cargo net would be too...

    Wheel sealant for winter use recommendation wanted

    Hello everyone! What rim protective sealant/wax would you recommend for winter wheels? My new winter alloys (v2 rotors) have the diamond cut that isn't covered with any clear coat.

    Is there anyone who has 80mm tail pipe tips on a 8V on this forum? Could you share pictures? I was looking for a way to upgrade my 2019 SB S-line to a S3 look for awhile.

    Hello everyone! I'm waiting for delivery of new S3 replica wheels and I got a weird idea about spaying them with dark tinted clear coat for both longevity and better, IMHO, darker look of the diamond cut surfaces. Did anyone do anything like this before? Can you recommend a good dark tinted...

    How to swap an S-tronic shifter on a FL 8V?

    I need to swap the S-tronic shifter with a new one that I received together with the leather interior. It has a boot with stitching that matches stitching on all the other parts of the interior. I did such a swap before on a manual 8P sportback. It was easy that time. But my s-tronic shifter...
