    Audi Northampton Courtesy Car Charge??

    well this blew up... I completely understand why they are doing it but I personally think they shouldn't be doing it. I worked at Land Rover and best believe we didn't charge for courtesy cars. I know there is a difference between the two brands but end of the day Audi are seen as a luxury brand...

    Audi Northampton Courtesy Car Charge??

    I just came to booking the mot for my car. The service is not due for another 5 months so I probably won't bother just yet, everything is running as it should. I applied online, booked my car in for 28/02 and ticked the box for the courtesy car. At this point no costs were mentioned. Later on...

    Facelift Winter tires - Time to take responsibility?

    See I completely agree with this. If not winter tyres, at least put on some 4 seasons (last year I had crossclimate + and I had no issues). I have been having this argument at work recently, all of them are telling me as long as you drive appropriately nothing will happen and winter tyres are...

    Race Chip for 13 plate 1.4 TFSI

    Hi All, Anyone had their 1.4 (or other A3) fitted with the race chip? Any experience with them? Do I need to worry about pushing the engine too hard? How does it do with the mpg? I just feel like it's a great alternative from remaps and I don't need too much more power. Just want to make it...

    It's not my first, it's 6th specifically. But yeah agreed. I need to do something with the sound system though.

    That's only the tip of the iceberg for my bad luck with cars, I am on my 6th one in a little more than a year of driving due to being f'd over by sellers etc.

    So to conclude, don't be stupid either declare it or don't do it. Makes sense to be honest.:chuncky:

    hmm maybe they have started to focus on it more now as it wasn't an issue with my fiesta, either way I will call and ask when I have some time.

    Thanks for the input. I agree, my insurance would likely increase my premium massively or refuse to carry on the policy. Although I have heard that it depends on the insurer. But how would they tell if I got a stage 1 remap. No parts would be changed only an updated software on the ECU. In...

    Oh yeah and the insurance. Don't even mention it, it's daylight robbery. It would be cheaper if I had a blackbox but I'd rather not ever again.

    Yes that is true. In all honesty I only had Audi alloys in mind just black ones instead. Sort of trying to get a red and black theme going on with hints of carbon fiber. Re the speakers, as long as I can turn the volume up properly without it turning down when the bass kicks in I am happy with...

    No I am actually yet to do that. I don't pay much anyway (£180) a month with two non fault crashes on my belt. It was much worse on my 56 plate 1.8 civic at £260 a month. Thanks, it's a really nice colour and it stands out from all the black ones currently on road.

    Hi All, As the thread title states I am a newbie. I am 18 years old and just got my Audi A3 1.4 TFSI Sport 3 door (my pride and joy). It is a stunner and a really unique one (as long as I am aware there is not a single one for sale like this). It is brilliant red with 17inch wheels but the the...

    L88 ONN - Audi A3 1.4 TFSI - Mod Thread

    Good progress mate. Really interested how the remap will change the car. I just brought mine exact same 1.4 TFSI Sport trim 3 door 13 plate in red. Same 17 inch wheels on with Milano leather seats. Quick question, the whole MMI stuff, did you just go into Audi to get it done? Does it cost...
