    Top marks to Audi Roadside Assistance

    The dreaded DPF light came on the other day, swiftly followed by the flashing glowplug light, then the Emissions light, then a lovely loss of power. The usual trick of 15 mins in 4th at 2000rpm didn't cure it. One call to Audi Roadside Assistance and they fixed it within 20 mins. Apparently the...

    Looking to swap my 19" BBS split rims for a set of standard 18s

    ...plus a little cash, naturally. I'm hoping to trade my A3 sportback in next week, and need to revert it back to standard.

    Sportback rear light question

    Are there different grades of 'new style' rear lights (i.e. 2008/9 on)? Is it only the higher spec (e.g S-Line) that have the LED lighting, or do all the models have the same spec lights?

    19" tyre recommendations please...

    So, two years and about 20k miles later, the tyres on my A3 TDI quattro are shot - currently Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetrics, 225/35x19, stretched on 8.5x19 BBS alloys. I was pretty shocked at their eventual demise...parked up one night to hear hissing from the front right. When I took the...

    Best place to source new style Sportback rear lights?

    Other than negotiating a discount with an Audi dealer, where should I look for a great deal on a set of 2010 SB rear lights? Kufatec perhaps? I've not seen any appearing on ebay UK recently.

    RNS-e DVD reading problem

    Half way through a trip my RNS-e suddenly decided to declare my nav DVD 'unreadable' (at this point I should declare that it's a copy that came with the ebay'd unit). Thinking it might be the disc I ordered a 2010 replacement (from JohnS3) and normal service resumed. Today the RNS-e declared...

    Audi Bluetooth with iPhone 3GS - how well does it work?

    I've currently got a Nokia and it sync's with Audi's BT in-car kit perfectly. I'm now looking to change my phone for an iPhone 3GS. How well does it work with the Audi BT - does it sync the contacts onto the RNS-e successfully? Any known issues or compatibility problems?

    So, my A3 Sportback is coming up for three years old, and Audi sent me a letter asking if I wanted to extend the warranty/roadside assistance. Has anyone done this? How much does it cost? And is it worth it?
