    A warning to those who want LED number plate lights

    Ive seen on here a thread linking to an ebay seller who sells LED number plate lights that wont give an error code. I decided to buy them and fitted them with no problems - they looked fantastic, a big improvement in look and in light! That was 3 weeks ago and today I took my car for its MOT -...

    Coming home lights problem

    I fitted coming home lights to my 2004 A3 TDI Sport yesterday and programmed it according to a link I got from this site. However, the coming home lights do not actually come on when I lock the car - but the lights do come on when I unlock the car. Has anyone had this problem before? Thanks...

    Where do you buy your number plates?

    Water leak in boot

    Ive been having problems with my central locking for ages and when I looked at the convenience module in the boot i found it was full of water and was ruined - the water has also filled the space where my spare wheel sits.

    Anyone heard of anything like this?

    For a number of months now my keys have not worked the central locking so i have had to use the key to enter my car. My brother has a copy of vag-com so ran the normal tests and everything suggests it should be fine but the key simply wont programme. It flashes when tested but for some reason...

    A3 wheel options

    I have seen the BBS CH? multispoke alloys on quite a few A3s on this site - are they standard on certain models? Or just wheels that are very popular so brought as add ons. Interested as I am a big fan and am starting to look for my next A3 (red s-line sportback TDi) Thanks in advance

    Unhappy customer :-(

    I know that SKY are the brokers and I guess its not all their fault, however I thought I should post my story on here so others can see the other side rather than just people posting good stories. 5 weeks ago my car was vandalised and I immediately rang the insurance, gave them a crime...

    8P1 Grill opinions

    In an ideal world I would find and fit an 8P2 s-line front bumper, but at the moment they are either hard to come by or massively over priced so I am not looking to go down that route at the moment - however I would like to do something with the front of mine as it looks a little bland. Couple...
