    well i can report the beading is blooming fantastic - the car is easy to wash, rinse and dry. Great shine and the flake in the silver really pops - not bad for a 9 year old car :D

    New A3 170 owner in Kent, Problems already - Smoke, ECS, Knocking, Please Help!!

    Supplying dealer needs to collect car and fix it, this is not a warranty item several days after sale. Any warranty company will have an initial period with no cover to prevent clients taking out cover only when issues arise. The fact the dealer changed a sensor for the dpf says there was an...

    What finish would you call this, and how can I get it back?

    Well perhaps some delaers are better than others but.. My family bought 10 new BMWs one after another from my local dealer from the mid nineties to early noughties. I let them prep a few of my new cars and they were fine, although I immediately went at them with Zymol and the like to improve...

    whats wrong with my s3 - been overrevved and misfiring

    If the ECU logs over revs in the same way as the Porsche ones do then there will be a time and date stamp against the over revs - if its in your ownership then i can see they will not honour any warranty repairs, but if it was prior to your ownership then they sold the car with potential issues...

    Worth the money?

    Tough decision, but if you were to resell after 6 months for some reason, you'd probably get 7k trade in. Similarly if heaven forbid the car was stolen or written off the insurance won;t pay you out to the tune of £12k as they will see the market value much nearer £10k currently.

    Worth the money?

    You are paying handsomely for the extras, but then you could find a lesser spec car for £3k less and then have a big repair bill At 6.5 years ld I'd expect the car trade to be 25% of its new value at best, then add on £2-3k for retail pricing, service, prep, warranty and margin depending on the...

    Percymon's new ride - first wash and spruce up.

    Many thanks - there's still paint on the back of the spokes but i'll sort that out when these summer wheels come off in late autumn. Was a bit concerned about the wet sanding but i didn't exactly have much choice.

    Percymon's new ride - first wash and spruce up.

    Got round to starting on the inside of the wheels and painting the hubs. Great start .. front near side wheel bolts had been tightened by a moron with a windy gun set on gorilla setting wheni eventually got the lots undone what I thought was a layer of factory body wax on the inside of the...

    Dirty Scum Bastids

    Sorry to hear the news - sounds like they probably went over a few kerbs, maybe striaght over a roundabout if chased by the rozzers. I think I'd be hoping for a write off by the assessor, I can't see they'll want to stump up for unknown engine internal issues.

    Thule or Montblanc are decent quality Since some of the sellers of Audi sportback bars on ebay are infact Audi dealers why not message these to ask about 3 door ones ?

    2011 A3 1.6 TDI poor MPG

    The tests are for comparison from one car to another and NOT indicative - they never have been really, and why would they be when the car is driven a set low speed cycle on a rolling road in a laboratory with minimal friction loss and virtually zero drag from the air. You've got a smaller...
