All 4 of my wheels have minor damage from kerbs or carelessness after a tyre change. The fact that they're diamond cut makes spot repairs impractical, I'm thinking about having all 4 powder coated. What would you do? I do quite like the diamond cut look but seems a bit more trouble than it's...

Is there a cycle carrier compatible with the S Line 8V Sportback? All the rear mounted ones I’ve found says that they’re not compatible with vehicles with rear spoilers.

Getting a strange kind of intermittent metallic-y rattle/vibration at low revs/idle. I’m hopeless at trying to trace noises but sounds to me like it’s coming from in front of me to the right as I sit in the car. Kind of glovebox/top of dash area but not convinced that it’s interior. It’s most...

Well, what else to do on a dismal day! Before (not particularly dirty given I only cleaned them superficially a week ago): After an initial on car clean: Centre caps off and Carbon Collective React doing its thing: After a dwell and rinse: React on the inside of the wheel: Rinsed...

This is going to sound like a really daft question, but after taking my wheels off to do a proper detail of them, are they perfectly safe having been hand tightened only, or should I get them tightened properly? The only time I’ve ever removed wheels is to replace a punctured one, in which case...

Hi Guys What's good to remove mild swirls from the glossy black exterior trim between the windows? Cheers!

Hi All A couple of minor things I’ve noticed since I picked up my A3 last week 1) The fuel gauge seems to have a mind of its own. The first time I put fuel in it read 420 miles. All good. Then I drove 60 miles before it went down to 415, then it seemed to go down at a normal rate. Now the...

Beyond excited! By far and away the nicest car I have ever owned! 68 plate A3 30 1.0 TFSI S Line S Tronic, less than 5k miles. I love everything about it! More photos to come but will start off with this one from the handover. Can’t wait for the better weather to come so I can go to town...

Hi All After a brief break from Audi ownership I’m looking to purchase another A3 - saloon preferably if I can find what I want, but sportback otherwise - and just curious about trim levels (buying used so can’t specify exactly what I want!) The main things I missed compared to my Focus when...

My new (to me) A3 is showing an oil change service due in 800 miles and inspection service due in 3400 miles. I emailed a local Audi specialist about indicative costs and he's suggested we do both services together in approx 1700 miles and that the cost would be £120+VAT including genuine Audi...

Went out to the car the other morning to find fox paw prints on my roof and a chewed shark fin(!) How best to sort this out? Is it an easy part to replace? I'm guessing not :(

Hi Folks Not sure what section to put this in so apologies if the wrong place! But can anyone recommend an Audi dealer for servicing in my neck of the woods? I have no experience of the main dealers. Both Bristol and Bath seem to have average reviews but Tetbury Audi is a little further...

Hi All Picking up my new (to me) 8V A3 shortly and looking for some info on CarPlay vs the Audi 'native' system for nav, audio and phone. In my current car (2008 Focus) I upgraded to a CarPlay head unit (Pioneer) so I am familiar with the interface etc. It's not without it's faults (i.e...

Was thinking about getting a set of these http://www.audipartsdirect.co.uk/product/Audi_A3_Aluminium_Pedal_Set_-_Automatic_8V2064205. I'm not very confident with modifications, are they a pain to install? I notice it says they should be installed by qualified personnel....!

Hi Guys I'm picking up my first Audi on Sat and was wondering if there's any website I can use to get the full details based on the VIN (i.e. seeing what optional extras were specified, etc.) Is there such a thing? Thanks!

Hi Folks Any recommendations for an 'after wash' product to bring the best out of Monsoon Grey? Thanks!

Hi Folks New Audi driver (to be) here! I've been driving a 2008 Ford Focus for the last few years so to say I'm excited is an understatement... I went to a car supermarket yesterday with a view to driving all three of and buying one of either the Audi A3, BMW 1 Series or Golf... I didn't...
