Hi all, As the title suggests, I need advice! basically I’ve just got my A3 and it’s my first black car. It’s 9 years old with 90k miles and doesn’t look like it’s seen a proper polish/decontamination for years. I’ve clayed and polished before, but never a car needing it this badly. My...

Hi all, On my A3, I've noticed that it has a plasticy sounding rattle (quite a noticable one) when slowly accelerating away in 2nd and 3rd gear. It only occurs really around the 1000-1200rpm area then disappears and I've not noticed it in other gears. The gearbox is over due an oil service...

Hi all, After a brief stint away from Audi (wholey due to the horrendous customer service from Taunton Audi and then reinforced by the horrendous customer service from Audi UK), I find myself back in an A3! Sob story however, I'm a self employed contractor in the IT world and pre-covid it was...

Hi all, I’m in the market for an A3 currently as had to downsize due to being out of work (thanks Covid!) I’m looking at a higher mileage car as my budget is around £5-6k. I’m aiming for an 8P3 where possible. Having owned an 8P2 and 8P3 S3 I know the cars quite well but never had higher...

Hi all, I have for sale my A4 Avant which I bought in January as a stop gap between my A6 and next car as needed to free some funds up for my wifes maternity leave. Now I have a new car on order, this one needs a new home! I'll assume if you are on here looking at this ad, you'll know a bit...

*Warning, incoming rant essay* So after waiting a few months while the factory was shut down, I eventually lost my patience with Audi and especially my local dealer and told them to cancel the order, as I've decided my money is better spent elsewhere. I was intially frustrated by the fact I...

Hi all, Apologies I imagine this has been asked a few times but many posts, the OP doesn’t say what fixed the issue! I’ve just had the cambelt done on my 2.0tdi BRD and since it has been noticeably more lumpy on idle (feels like it’s labouring and revs fluctuate around 100rpm). When hold the...

Hi all, I retrofitted cruise control to my car earlier. All installed fine and dandy. After installing cleared fault codes from VCDS and did the necessaries to enable CC and confirmed it was working on measuring block 004 on the Steering wheel controller (as per a guide on here somewhere)...

Hi all, In my 07 and 59reg S3’s I could get the speed on the DIS. I was hoping this would be on an 08reg A4 but doesn’t appear to be! Doesn’t anyone know if this can be enabled in VCDS? Just got an A4 today so it’s getting vagcom’ed when I get home! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi all, I've been looking around at A4's recently and one thing I've noticed on a few is a larger than normal gap between the bumper and bonnet (looks like the bonnet hasn't been closed properly). In all cases the bonnet is flush with the wings, so I guess the bumper has been removed at some...

Hi all, Having had to sell my much loved C7 3.0BiTDI A6 to make way for a Ford SMAX :frown new: after child number 3 made an appearance, I have a little spare left lying around to buy myself a car to replace the wifes which ends its PCP at the end of March. As shes driving the Smax, this new...

Hi all I'll be picking my A6 Advant 3.0 tdi (245) either next week or the week after. Excited much! It has the tech pack (so MMI touch), AMI and reversing camera. What I was wondering, as I have VCDS, is there a list of options which can be enabled purely through VCDS or tweaks which improve...

Hi all, The headlight leveling on my car has stopped working randomly. It still self tests when turning the car on fine so the motors are working, there aren't any errors on VCDS and I located the leveling sensor on the rear axle and that looked in tact and undamaged. I couldn't find one on...

Hi all My dipped beam appear to be very very dipped at the mo (almost dangerously low as I can't see beyond 30m in the dark unless using full beam). The self test when turning the ignition on is fine and the full beam works as normal so I'm thinking the gizmo that decides the angle of the...

Hi all Back in Dec 2014 I changed my front tyres to Michelin PS3's. Straight after doing this I got a droning noise which was audible from 12mph upwards, getting higher pitched as speed increased. I put the half worn rears (can't remember what they were) on the front and new PS3's on the back...

Hi all, After a trip to the dark side (BMW), I'm back in an S3 again :D On my new S3 however, not all the time, but quite a lot, i get a high pitched electrical like noise coming from the instrument cluster area (or so it seems), for a few seconds, then nothing for 30-45seconds, then again...

Hi All, Was wondering if someone could help me diagnose a rather concerning issue im having! Basically when I went to work last night, car was fine, however when starting it up after finishing this morning, there is this rather loud rapid knocking noise, that speeds up and slows down with...
