Hi all, Have just ordered a Beach Buggy K250 Turbo from http://www.beachbuggyturbos.co.uk/ after some long messages to Dan on Facebook about my options... (Mega helpful and friendly guy btw!) The turbo is going into my Mk1 Golf 1.8T which is currently a stock(ish) setup. (I have 3.0&quot...

So, I loved my A3, but it was getting old and I fancied a change, so I sold it and bought a new car. I collect it next week, will most likely keep it for a little while then swap it for another one, I have my eye on the 185PS 2.0TDi Quattro 3 door when it is available to order. Plans are either...

Hello all, Long time no post! My car has recently ticked over 100k miles and I think unlike most I have had relatively few (touches wood...) problems with it. It started ticking over badly a little while ago, basically it kind of stutters on tick over, sounding like it is misfiring until you...

I have found a seller on eBay who I have contacted who seems to know his stuff, however I wanted to check here first as to if this was a worthwhile upgrade, I currently have 286mm standard brakes on my car which are okay but I am after a little more stopping force/something to look nicer. To...

Hi all, As the title says, this is the one thing that my car is missing that I would like. I have factory fit Xenon headlights (Main beam only!) with auto level/headlight washer etc. but would like the Bi-Xenon units off a later 8P2 A3 (Main beam and full beam!) Can it be done? Is it a...

Seeing as I have been a member of this site for a good while I think I should probably make a thread about my car. It's my fourth car having owned a Peugeot 306 XTDT, a Mk4 Golf 1.9 SE TDi 90PS (BUILD THREAD) and a Mk4 Golf 1.9 GT TDi before (BUILD THREAD). I also own a few Mk1 Golfs and am...

Hi all, As the title says I am looking for a set of alloys as winter wheels (16 inch only due to the tires I have already.) but I am struggling to find anything that looks half decent on the a3 8p! I like re new touran wheels but there few and far between. If anyone has any suggestions that...

My rear hubs are rusty as hell, given its only surface rust but still, not great when the rest of the car is so clean. I am planning to find a set of Mk5 GTi front calipers and discs to get powder coated white (just the calipers) but what can be done to stop them rusting? Obviously they can be...

I am curious, what is the massive difference in the price between the two? I know that the Full service includes all filters as well as oil and the interim is only oil both including checks etc. But what is the extra £150? Is it labour for a couple of cheap filter changes? I am more than...

As the title says, I have half leather seats that came with my car which are white inserted with matching door cards etc. How much do you think they are worth roughly? (For a three door) I'm looking to put them on eBay soon. Joe

This is the wiring locations for an A3 2006 no model in particular should be general locations. Hope this helps someone out. NB The VESCM pictured above (Vehicle Electrical System Control Module) is the relay box under the driver dash. Joe

As the title says does anybody know if they are the same? Cheers, Joe

I have just fitted my OEM bluetooth today, it works fine except the Mic is not working, I have tried swapping the polarity but still nothing. It is all new apart from the module. Could the mic itself be faulty? On advanced measuring blocks on VCDS it reads as no real voltage drop when the mic...

As the title says, my boost pipes and I'm sure a lot of other peoples boost pipes leak due to the crappy push fit design of the pipes. What can be done? Obviously a bigger better intercooler, (Examples of??) I know there are some people with big power 2.0TDi's on here. Want to get this...

As the title says can I swap the headlights I currently have (2004 Xenon headlights fitted OEM) to 2006+ Bi-Xenons? Do I need to change the control module or anything or is it a simple change of coding with VCDS. TIA Joe

Hello, Does anyone know if I will have DRL's? I have a 2004 TDi with factory fitted Xenons, will there be DRL's in there? If so how do I turn them on (If they aren't already?) (I know they are not LED's but after reading on a few sites it seems that some people do) Cheers, Joe

As the title says, I'm replacing the bulbs in my car but I need to know the size, I have looked in various places but the information is contradictory. I have an 04 TDi S-Line with Xenons, looking for main beam replacement? (H7 or H1) fog light (H7?) sidelight (Canbus 501 LED) and numberplate...

Hello, As the title says really, anyone with ETKA got a rough price on this? Are they fortunes? Cheers, Joe

As the title says, I assumed the part would be the same from my old bumper to fit to my new one, because I had never seen it mentioned. The ones I have are a different shape. Need to order the correct ones. Any ideas on PN? Cheers, Joe

As the title says, last night I was fitting a new steering wheel control module, I thought it was compatible with my car but it turns out it had no where to plug in my steering angle sensor. After fitting it some of the functions worked including the Multifunction working as I had hoped but...
