    My A3 experience so far...

    OK so as some of you might recall, I bought a used Audi A3 (see my sig for spec) about 7 weeks ago. All seemed fine at first but over the next week or two I discovered several problems with it: Rear windscreen wiper washer did not work Light in boot did not work Tremble in steering wheel at...

    Courtesy car insurance

    Hi Guys, My A3 has got a fair few problems and the dealer I bought it from has finally agreed to take it in for a week (or however long it takes) and sort it all out. So they are going to give me a courtesy car while they do that, but I just rang my insurance company to ask if I needed to do...

    Revs pausing when foot to the floor (with video)

    I mentioned this in this thread http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/showthread.php?t=78089 but apparently it doesnt look like my problem is related so just thought I would get some opinions on my particular problem. A picture paints a thousand words so here's a video (worth a million words?) of my...

    Should I have a light in my boot?

    A quick and easy one for you guys :) every car I have owned before has always had a light in the boot but on my A3 (53 plate) it does not seem to have one and its very annoying (especially as its dark all the time at the moment!). So I just wondered if there should be a light and its broken, or...

    I mentioned this in another thread (http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/showthread.php?t=83351) but I dont think the two are related now so I figured I would just post a separate thread and see if you guys had any thoughts on this issue as well :) Basically when I get to about 70 mph I start to feel...

    Coolant ran out

    Hello again, yet another question! :) Drove the usual 70 mile journey to work today without any problems this morning, got in the car to go home at the end of the day though and when I started the engine I got a little warning saying "Coolant". Then it said "turn the engine off and check the...

    Keeping windscreen clean

    Hi Guys, This used to happen in my last car but I was hoping in my next car (which has turned out to be my Audi A3) I wouldnt have this problem... unfortunately I do. Basically, the windscreen is perfectly clear and fine until it rains and I have to use my wipers. As soon as I use the wipers...

    New rear lights for 3 door A3 Sport (2003)

    All of the threads that I have found seem to be about fitting new lights for the 'sportback' (which as I understand it just means 5 door?) apart from this one: http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/showthread.php?t=80911 - however I'm not sure if my A3 is the same as the creator of that thread because...

    Wheel spin in 4th gear normal?

    Driving last night in the rain, I put my foot to the floor in 4th gear and the wheels started to loose grip and the ESP light on the dashboard came on - I've never experienced that in any other car but then I've never had a TDI before so I dont know if that is kind of normal? Going to check the...

    Bumpy at idle + new buttons

    Hi Guys, Just joined this forum as I bought a 53 plate A3 2.0 TDI Sport a couple of days ago :) As with almost any used car, there are a couple of things that are not perfect on it and I was just wanting to get your opinion on what to do about them. Any suggestions/comments much...
