    TPMS - Tyre pressure system fault

    Hi there, I have been whethering the storm with my right front tyre, it has a slow puncture, (very slow) so every now and again I had to pump it up a little. The low tyre press warning came up on my 2014 A3 dash about 2 weeks ago, so a few days later I went to the garage and put some air in...

    Light steering feel on all modes possible?

    The Audi drive select system only allows one "individual" setting which I have set to full power and light steering. Every other default mode seems to come with the harder steering option. All I really want is 2 modes, one at full power with light steering and another in eco mode with light...

    Eco tyres rear, grippy tyres front?

    Hey, I am after a bit of advice. In order to cure some of the inherent understeer in my A3 I wonder if it would be worth trying to get some eco tyres fitted to the rear and then a sports tyre of some kind at the front. Has anyone done this and would it be recomended in order to get a bit more...

    Bird poo + Audi paint

    I read recently that the darker paint ranges (especially black) suffer quite badly when birds decide to eject their guts over your car. I never really paid much attention to this "warning" however, at work one of the execs has a dark blue A5 and it must have been parked there for a week under...

    Is owning an S-Line a magnet for burglars?

    I am still contemplating my next Audi purchase, I really like the S-Line range but I have a few nagging doubts in the back of my mind. 9 years ago my father bought a new Subaru Impreza RB5 (which I might add was an amazing car), however after owning it for approximately 3 months we had a break...

    Can you move the rear view mirror up slightly...?

    I am on the verge of buying an A3 (have come close a few times only for the said cars to be snapped up), but one question the Audi sales staff werent able to answer was if its possble to raise the height of the rear mirror slightly, maybe by only an inch to half an inch? The trouble is, I am...

    Retrofitting a leather interior for a 3dr?

    I am looking at getting a standard A3 (as its so hard to find regular A3's with leather) but I am interested in getting a leather interior (I am not bothered about what brand / sort as long as its black) fitted for a good price. Are there any recognised reputable fitters which would do this...

    Adjusting gear ratios on a manual TDi?

    Just an idea I had really. It would probably be ridiculously expensive, but what would it cost say to get a TDi A3 a re-geared, to make 1st gear a bit taller and extend 6th gear (for lower revs) to give better mpg on motorway driving...?

    Is now a bad time to buy a used (nearly new) car?

    This is my first post here, so hello all! I am considering buying a new (used) car, an A3 170 Sport of some sorts. However, I am obviously aware that the car market, along with the general finances of the world are all shot to hell thanks to the recession. So I am just wondering if now is a...
