I’m currently in France with the family and the S4. Our long journey here ended up being in the dark and I read before I set off that with Matrix lights there is no need to fit headlight converters, but I was flashed a number of times by drivers on the opposite carriage way. I was loaded to the...

Since switching to the S4 from the S3 I haven't managed to resolve my tablet mount issue for the kids in the rear. I used to use a Scosche head rest mount, but now I have one piece sports seats these can't be fitted. I tried using the Scosche dash mount fixing them to the back of the seat...

Does anyone know how to remove the rear valance on an S4 B9 Avant? I'm a bit of a novice and I have been stumped by some mounting clips or bolt heads. My guess it that they can be prised off with a trim removal tool, but I would like this confirming by an expert before I do any damage! It...

I know there are going to be few wide eyed people reading this thread, but I’m considering fitting a detachable tow bar to my S4 Avant to be used with a bike carrier. I’m wanting to know if anyone has done this as a retro fit and has photos? My biggest worry is what the rear valance will look...

This might be a basic question, but I have just noticed that the red warning lights in my door sills are not eliminating when the doors are opened. I think I have been too preoccupied by the 4 rings puddle lights to notice!! I am assuming these are lights and not just reflectors? I can't find...

Had the joy of test driving an S4 Avant today for 2 hours with the serious consideration of making the switch from my S3 Sportback. The main reason for the switch is gained practicality to cope with the needs of a growing family. Overall I was impressed with the S4 and by no means was it slow...

I have managed to damage the stainless steel door trim on my S3 Sportback (Drivers door) Does anyone know what part number / cost for a replacement? Is it just the metal insert or the whole plastic plate that will need to be ordered? I assume Audi Dealer is my only option after failed Google...

My traffic info has been displaying the message "No messages for your chosen route" for the last two days. As far as I know I haven't changed any settings and dynamic traffic avoidance is activated as per the MMI manual. Any ideas please?

Has anyone any first hand experience of replica alloys? I've heard many negative comments about them over the years, but has anyone actually noticed that they weren't as light or strong? There are some stunning designs on the market, but I appreciate looks aren't everything!

I am new to the world of detailing, but have been washing my cars by hand for years. With the help of friendly advice from forums like this one I have improved my technique from a standard bucket and sponge to the classic 2 bucket wash method with a prewash snow foam method, but want to go one...

I have recently had tints fitted to my S3 Sportback as the previous owner hadn't fitted Privacy glass and I found it really useful on my 8P A3 2.0T when travelling with the kids in the back. I'd never had any windows tinted before and wasn't quite sure what to expect, but thought it would be...

I am looking to get my alloys on my S3 refurbed after Xmas as the previous owner clearly couldn't park (he blamed it on his Mrs). Either way I can't live with them the way they are! I've had two quotes so far...

After 3 weeks of ownership I'm loving my S3 Sportback and it's really ticking all my boxes. My biggest concern before I bought it was the boot depth. I've bought the car as a family car so boot space is important. My previous A3 8P 2.0T never let me down and managed to swallow up all the usual...

I keep hearing a vibration sound coming from the dashboard area of my S3 when the car is at low revs. I'm struggling to locate what is actually vibrating and have tried to find anything that could be loose. The car is 17 months old and I wouldn't expect anything to have come loose that...

I've just received the new V5 for the S3 I bought privately and despite the previous owner telling me he bought it from new in July 2014 the log book states it has 2 previous owners. It was first registered on 28/06/14. Then the previous owner acquired it 06/07/14. Does this mean it was a...

When I first start my car in a morning for a couple of minutes I can hear occasional clicking noises coming from the passenger air bag area. I suspect it's expanding itself in case of an accident, but I am no expert. I have never heard it make this noise until recently. I am about to sell the...

My 2.0T S-Tronic has just started behaving strangly when the car is trying to idle. I'm not sure if it's linked to the problem, but I had just given it a bit of welly in 2nd and third gear hitting the S-Tronic gear limiter both times, then I noticed when I came to a round about the engine...

My battery is completely dead and my car (A3 2.0T S-Tronic) is stuck in PARK so I am unable to push it out of my garage to jump start. I don't own a battery boost charger, I only have a trickle charger. My idea is to leave it for a good few hours to charge with the trickle charger in the hope...

My gas struts are very weak on the boot of my Sportback and need replacing. I'm considering going for an aftermarket strut from these guys..... Audi A3 2003-2008 Tailgate/Boot Gas Strut - 8P4827552B ....has anyone done this or am I better paying the extra and going with the OEM parts...

Can someone please give me the correct part number for a pair of replacement gas struts for the boot of my 2006 Sportback 2.0T Sline? I have found a few places online that are selling them, but not sure if they are genuine Audi parts? Does this really matter for a gas strut? Audi A3 2003...
