    Glovebox Broken?

    hey all, i have the exact same problem, the latch has snapped and when i went to the dealers, they said that i'd have to change the whole lid part (very expensive) so I'm looking for maybe a step by step guide as to what I can do to fix the latch myself, something like NHN has done... NHN...

    Brake Noise

    Got that too, when i went to the stealers they said it was the ABS...yeh right, it only happens in reverse, and gives a nice little fright to whoever is in my car for the first time thinking we'd hit something! Look forward to all your thoughts!

    Non-multi function steering wheel to FBMFSW in A3 1.6

    hi nigel, as the thread states, i'm looking to change my standard steering wheel for the FBMFSW, dunno what I'd need to do that though as a lot of the functions aren't standard on my 1.6 SB. Any ideas? Thanks.

    Non-multi function steering wheel to FBMFSW in A3 1.6

    thanks ashley, i just read the thread and it seems to be saying that I'd need another ECU as my current steering wheel only has the hooter function and airbag. No DSG, No Cruise, No volume control etc. And I'm wondering if can all be hooked up with the FBMFSW since my car is the basic 1.6-er...

    Non-multi function steering wheel to FBMFSW in A3 1.6

    I'd like to ask whether anyone has retro-fitted the FBMFSW to a 1.6 SB that has a standard 4 spoke steering wheel with airbag. If yes, what would I have to do to get all the functions working that are attached with the FBMFSW (ie. cruise control, paddles etc.)? Thanks.

    Window Swithches

    Take it to the dealer, I had the same problem and they changed the whole switch console without any problems. It is a problem they are aware of.

    Another Idiot in the car park!

    Well another form of indecency I experience here in **** is dealing with the scooters wiggling in and out of the gaps when waiting for the traffic lights, in order to get to the front. Man, does this drive me mad. They seem to always go for the smallest gaps and then try wiggle through. It's...

    Creaking interior...with only 10,000kms...

    I intend on giving it another week, to have a good look at the situation. The only thing that is going for them is the noise I am experiencing is not happening ALL the time. It shows periodically and is inconsistent in noise volume.

    Creaking interior...with only 10,000kms...

    well, having taken the car in yesterday (supposed to be on MOnday, but had free time yesterday) they checked everything that I mentioned. Wheel bearing noise, gearbox down change problem and creaking doors. Here's the outcome: - Wheel bearing noise was put down to the tyres. Although on visual...

    Another Idiot in the car park!

    maybe more than just audi owners actually think like we do....they also want to protect their cars and therefore also park their cars on the far side!

    Creaking interior...with only 10,000kms...

    Experiencing the same problem now. It started about 2-3 weeks ago after going in for detailing. Possibly the "lubricant" on the seals get washed off somehow and therefore the need for new lube. Taking it into the dealers on Monday, will have them sort it out. List of problems experienced...

    Wheel bearing going?

    well, i certainly hope it's a problem that can be found for me, i hate those "mysterious" things that can either be this or that. My noise doesn't seem to happen ALL the time, but i can defintely hear it when it happens. Let's just hope it produces itself when i go in on Monday. Otherwise it's...
