    Audi A3 Glovebox removal - disconnect battery first?

    I have to take the glovebox off to install an aftermarket Carplay device soon. Will it throw an error if I don't switch the ignition on when the switch is unplugged? I will do that only after the switch is plugged in again. My logic says it should be ok but I'm just checking as i don't have an...

    2020 A4 Avant TFSI - pre-purchase advice

    Thank you all for the valuable inputs. I will take your advice and try to get my car from Audi as I done with the A3. The thing is my local dealer hasn't got many a4's at all at the minute. Akso, like for like age/mileage the cars are 2k more expensive at Audi than other sellers and I read in...

    2020 A4 Avant TFSI - pre-purchase advice

    Hi all. Sorry for bothering ya'll with this uninteresting and long post. I'm thinking of letting go of my beloved 15-plate A3 diesel manual mainly due to changed family circumstances i.e. baby and space (lack of that is). Thinking of getting an A4 Avant automatic (better when you're getting old)...

    2.0 Tfsi fuel consumption

    Hi Guys, sorry for reviving an old thread like this but do the above figures apply for the 2019 and onward A4s 2.0 TFSIs S tronic? I'm thinking of moving on from my A3 to an A4 Avant and with all this talk against diesels I'm thinking of switching to a petrol car. With the fuel consumption and...

    2015 A3 2.0 TDI Clutch issue

    Update: 4 months and 2500 ish miles have passed and the car still drives!! :shrug: I have AA cover and I don't really want to spend £1300 if I really don't need to, so I'll wait. In the interim, I think I'll buy the parts myself as suggested by @Matt Titanium. However, I'm struggling to find the...

    2015 A3 2.0 TDI Clutch issue

    Hiya all, Sorry for the late reply. As an update, I got an estimate from my local indie VAG specialist ad my eyes are watering... almost £1200 to get the clutch and flywheel renewed :( don't even think the parts are genuine. Anyway, I'll probably have to bite the bullet and repair it... All...

    2015 A3 2.0 TDI Clutch issue

    Well, I rang the same garage today as waiting for the quote for the clutch repair for a couple of days and got a tech which I have kinda known from before. I've told him the same thing and the fact that since the clutch issue happened I've driven for 100 ish miles (some in stop-start traffic)...

    2015 A3 2.0 TDI Clutch issue

    Thanks, I rang my local garage today and they've said that from what I've told them it's likely to be the whole shebang. I was hoping the slave is on the outside, and just to replace that 1st. Actually, they didn't even mention this, just said 'yes, it's the clutch and flywheel' not it's the...

    Facelift S3 8V pre-facelift to facelift (front) conversion

    Ouch! I personally like the pre-facelift front but hey... it's a matter of personal preference. Sorry, I'm not that helpful, all I can do for you is to say there is an Youtube channel where a bloke had a front damaged PFL S3 (I think) and he slapped an FL front on it. All I can remember is...

    2015 A3 2.0 TDI Clutch issue

    Hi all, My 15 plate A3 2.0 TDI 8V manual 6 gears got to 77K miles with no issues until today. On a return journey of 50 ish miles, 5 miles before home at a roundabout I noticed my clutch was stuck halfway. It was like the whole pedal range was condensed to this half which made the clutch...

    Oil Service price

    I'm not that good with mechanics and also I'm lacking the proper tools in order to do it myself. Also, I think a full service history weighs more when you're reselling imo. However, it seems that I can't get the history up anymore on My Audi, is it me being useless or someone else has this...

    Oil Service price

    What are you saying makes sense until you go to the main dealer for a job thinking that you get what you pay for and then you don't. :(

    Oil Service price

    Hi all. Sorry for hijacking this thread after all this time. Just got mycar serviced, this time at an Indie as I got fed up with Audi's prices. However, is this a realistic price at £134? It seems really cheap and I worry a bit the oil and parts used are not top notch, especially when the car...

    Replica Wheels

    Hi all. One last question: The wheels I've decided to buy are not having a symmetrical design which means they'll appear spinning in opposite directions nearside vs offside unless they are mirrored 2 and 2. I've called the seller and they aren't, all 4 are identical. In fact, I've called others...

    Replica Wheels

    Hi all. I think I know what I want regarding the allow make and model. The wheels I like are 18'' 8J ET45, the website selling them say that they fit but I have doubts. Willtheifit.com says that these wheels replacing my OEM of 18'' 7.5J ET51 will make the rim stick out 12 mm more than the...
