Hi, I'm looking for some advice on why my driver's side heated seat doesn't work on my 2011 Audi A3. Firstly the passanger ones works fine. Fuse is good. I've checked the resistance on the passanger seat Vs the driver seat and they're fairly similar. I checked the voltage going to the...

Hi all, Currently in the process of refurbing my alloy wheels and when respraying, ive gone from silver to more of a gun metal grey. I have just finished refurbing two and from this i have found that my arch gap looks even bigger now as they are a darker colour! Something needs to be done about...

Very soon i am doing a few big (costly) jobs on my car one of which is the turbo. I quite like the sound of putting in a bigger turbo but i dont really know where to start looking. When people say a hybrid turbo, is that just a bigger turbo or a similar one with different components? For...

So it's time for me to change my tyres on my car which I haven't had for too long! I bought up four new Falken Ziex ZE-914 tyres but I'm abit weary to fit these at the minute due to the way the old tyres are wearing. My old front tyres worn as follows: front left on the inner side and the...

Hi, There is a metal heat shield that is under the bottom of the car, placed just above the exhaust. I have noticed that the metal where it is bolted on at has snapped so this is hanging loose. It rattles when i drive also which is rather annoying! Whats this part called or has anyone had a...

Hello, I have only just noticed that a rear seat belt of mine has broke. When pulled out, it does not go back in on its own unless it is threaded in. I have my MOT in a few weeks and i dont think it will pass with this so im going to replace it as obviously it is unsafe anyway. However im...

Hello all, I have noticed I'm getting quite close to the limit with my tyres and being 19 I can't really afford to take the chance of getting points! So I was pricing up tyres and they came to about £300 which I don't really have, especially with all my current issues such as turbo and coolant...

Hello! So it's too nice to be sat in today and with no plans I have decided I might paint/spray my callipers :) I have done these before on my old car but as I painted them when on, they didn't turn out as neat as I wanted. So basically I have some questions.. -what paint is best from...

Seen a few cars around the area with '2.0 T' badges and the T in red. Are these petrol or do some diesels also have that? Quite like the look of it to what I have got but wouldn't seem right if it was only a petrol thing!

Hi, which tyres do you guys usually go for or which would you recommend? In the next few months I'm probably gonna be replacing my alloys and gonna get all new tyres for them. Any recommendations? I only go on the motor way around once a month and apart from that my car is just used for...

Sorry to be a bore with these constant cooling fan questions but I can't seem to solve it. Bought and fitted some second hand fans that come with 3 months warranty (even though there is no guarantee they're actually working). so now they're fitted I still haven't heard them come on, is there...
