Is it advised to turn the key to the accessories position, for the fuel pump to prime itself, before turning on the engine? Or does it make no difference to just turn on the engine straight away?

I recently put the 8V rear wiper arm & blade on my car. Can the front one from an 8V also fit?

I need to replace these. Does anyone know whether they can be replaced by first taking only the wheel off? Or will the calliper and disc need to be removed first?

I've seen a few different tuning companies mentioned on here. Are there any real differences between them? I'm looking at getting a Stage 1 tune on my '06 2.0 litre turbo A3. It runs very well and I've maintained it well; would it need anything in the way of parts upgrades?

I just had one of those scenarios where a little job snowballs into a huge one... Even though, in hindsight, they were fine, I thought I'd wet sand and lacquer my (original) headlights to make them perfect. I ended up just making them 1000x worse. This lead to me thinking, "well, I may as well...

I've decided to upgrade my rear lights to facelift ones - I have an '06 Sportback. I've just bought the inner (tailgate) lights, but not sure whether they are the darker red ones, or not. I want to make sure I get the correct, matching outer rear lights. The part number for the inners that I...

I don't know if/when my car has had its DSG oil changed, so I'm looking to do it ASAP. I called a couple of indie garages, and one of them asked whether I wanted just the DSG oil changed, or the gearbox oil too. So what's the difference, and does the gearbox oil need to be changed? As I...

I've never previously had a car long enough to have to change the tyres, so I know nothing about them. My current ones are wearing thin, so I'll need some soon. At the moment I have 225/40R18, but think that the tyre walls look too thin (the "tyre profile"?). Also, there is quite a gap above...

Just wondering whether anyone has put on a steering wheel cover before? Something like this one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FOR-AUDI-A3-8P-2003-BLACK-PERFORATED-REAL-LEATHER-STEERING-WHEEL-COVER-RED-ST/161428232510?hash=item2595df593e:g:X4MAAOSwnDZUHaFD If it's simple enough to do, and doesn't...

What I'm mainly wondering is, as these lights are "fooling" the car into thinking there is a higher wattage bulb present than there actually is (if my understanding is correct), will the car still know when the LED has blown/broken, and give an appropriate warning message on the instrument...

I have an '06 S-line Sportback, and tried to code it yesterday to use the fog lights as DRLs. After selecting the appropriate options it said "Code Accepted" but it didn't work. The only thing I can think of is maybe I don't have the correct controller to do this? I don't think this car has the...
