Hi all Are there any additional considerations needed when lowering the quattro 170 model? Other than just springs/ dampers etc. I had TT several years back on coilovers and that needed adjustable camber arms on the rear because it was 4wd. Cheers Tim

So driving home yesterday my 2004 8P TDI starts making an intermittent squeaking noise and it got progressively worse, to an almost constant squeak noise. Sounds like its belt related to me. On closer inspection when home it is definitely from the engine bay and I think from the left hand...

So with our little one on the way in June, I've been out buying baby seats and travel systems! First time I have had to research this type of vehicle! Anyway ended up with a Maxi Cosi cabriofix with the Familyfix base, which Im really happy with. The problem is now my car :( Having the Isofix...

My S3 spoiler arrived today, but will need a colour change as its from a white car ... Whilst I am quite handy with spraying bits, a spoiler is in a very visible place, so I might get it done professionally. Just wondering how much have people paid for painting? I am more than happy to...

Now don't get me wrong, I love this forum and have been a member since 2004 and think the info its members provides is invaluable at times... but is it just me who finds the classifieds really user unfriendly? They are genuinely the worst classifieds on any forum I use, in the way they make...

What's the general consensus on how much mileage to do before getting an alignment done after changing over suspension? I know from experience it takes a while to settle and the car can drop quite a bit further in this time. I normally just kinda leave it for 'a while' but what are other peoples...

Anyone have the A38P 2.0 TDI front axle load/weights to hand? Manual and Auto if poss? Thanks

Since I have come to the conclusion that McGard ones are poop and the keys fall apart/buckle etc way too easily I'm on the lookout for something better? Anyone have any decent suggestions? Ta.

A few years back I had a front bumper flatted back, primed and re-painted for £120. What's the general consensus on price these days for this to be done at a half decent bodyshop? Our 'other' car needs a scuff sorting and I'm not convinced of these smart repairs!

My car has developed a really annoying noise coming from the door area. It happens when I pull away the most, but also when I brake and accelerate. I can also noticed the noise when jacking up the car like a creaking noise as the chassis twists or something! Now I'd say its a worn bush or mount...

Had this lead poking through the centre console since I got my A3 and wondered what its for. The chap I bought the car from said he thought it was an Ipod charger, but it has phonos on the stereo end etc? Took out the stereo and this is how it is wired into the back. I assume its some...

A while back there were a couple of threads about adding exhaust trims to the TDI tailpipes. I never got round to buying the ones people were using from Ebay, and now the seller has ceased trading :( Has anyone used these trims below or anything similar that has turned out to be a decent...

Does anyone know if this stuff is available on the high street or internet order only? Cheers

So after someone decided to give me a lovely dent in my tailgate, I'm left looking for a paintless dent removal (PDR) expert to fix it. Can anyone suggest a decent guy in the Hampshire/West Sussex or Kent areas? Everyone loves a photo, so here's the issue. Thanks

Someone decided my car was too nice and needed a new modification! Is this doable with PDR? Anyone used this service and know how much £ I'm looking at if its doable? Cheers

I'm moving house at the weekend, which is going to be royally screwed up by the government *****/press if I cant put diesel in the van. Is it easy enough to syphon fuel out of the A3 tank, or any reason why it wont work? Cheers

Not a nice shock to find that insurance on my A3 seems to have gone up by a good £130 despite me adding another years no claims and now having turned 30! I paid £350 last year. Admiral (who have been the cheapest for me over the past 7 years or) now want £470 to renew! That's on line too...

Where is the best place to get paint mixed or pre-mixed in the colour code for your car? I remember having some paint mixed my Halfords when I had my Polo and although they used the code to mix it, it turned out that there were 7 different shades under that one code! Needless to say it was...

Might be a simple question, but where should I be putting Axel stands on my 8P A3 to avoid damaging anything?
