I was quoted over £1000 just for the parts to have this fixed by an authorised Audi bodyshop. Apparently the grille would need to be replaced. Any advice about how much this should cost to repair is appreciated. Thanks.

I recently ordered this Automobio phone holder hoping it would fit the 8V's unusual air vents. Unfortunately, it doesn't. The only report of one working I can find is the Blue-Garuda (pictured below) but it can't be ordered in the UK, unless from eBay with about £10 shipping costs from the US...

Stupidly misjudged a narrow driveway and scraped the driver's side S-line bumper on a pillar. What are the options available to me? Should I take it to a local Audi garage, or are there cheaper places that will be able to replace/respray the bumper just as good?

I have the Technology Pack maps and have noticed that the GPS location is sometimes completely different from where I actually am (for example, it shows me driving through a nearby field when I'm on the road). This causes it to constantly re-route and also makes it completely useless for this...

Some of you may know Saabkyle from YouTube. He does very in-depth reviews, and whilst this is a US model, it's essentially the same as any 8V with a few different options (e.g. Advanced Key and LED headlights seem to be standard). I think the community here should do a bit of comment voting...

I don't know how this happened, but I think someone may have scraped my car in a car park. Below are some photos - I'd appreciate any advice from fellow 8V owners. I have no idea what's required to fix this - does it need repainting, or can it be polished out? I gave the car a wash using my...

Is the boot of the 8V Sportback air conditioned when the rest of the car is? I noticed some vents on both sides of the boot. It would be useful for keeping food shopping chilled if this were the case!

Pleasantly surprised by the fact that my new MY15 8V plays .flac files via the SD card. Strangely, as a non-Connect car, it also supports the Audi Music Stream Wi-Fi app (by broadcasting a Wi-Fi hotspot)! It does not, however, play .m4a Apple Lossless (ALAC) files.

No insurers seem to have this in the list of A3s - is it just being treated the same as the 140PS version? My numberplate isn't registered yet, so I can't use that.

Do the steps listed here apply to a new A3? Running in a new car | The AA

I searched but couldn't find any posts on AMMO products. Does anyone here use them on their cars? Fairly expensive with shipping to the UK, but it does seem like a straight-forward regimen and set of products to a detailing newbie like myself. Larry's videos are also very good.

I hope this is just a glitch, as it looks terrible with a single exhaust. Only the 1.6 TDI and 1.2TFSI had this previously. Edit: from the latest Pricing and Specification Guide: "Exhaust tailpipe – single tailpipe on 1.2 TFSI and 1.6 TDI, double tailpipes on the left on all other engines."...

Does anyone run their 1.4 TFSI COD on premium unleaded, or with fuel with an octane number above the regular 95RON? I'm curious to see if anyone has seen any MPG or performance improvements out of this engine.

Is "Theo. Week:" the build week on the Vehicle Detail form? Mine is 201429 - build week 29? Estimated delivery of June, yet week 29 of the year will be July...

Explained: the VW Group's MQB platform - BBC Top Gear Of most interest to you, 6 of 7: The only source so far to recommend sport suspension over SE! Not sure why they're comparing a GTI to an A3 though, as they should really compare that with the S3.

Due to this engine being so new I haven't been able to find much footage of it on the internet. Feel free to post any videos you find of it in this thread. Here's a nice one of the 1.4 TFSI CoD S tronic doing 0-200 on the Autobahn.

Do the build weeks relate to actual calendar weeks, or are they are separate number? If my car will be build week 22, does that mean the week commencing 26th May?

I noticed the engine sound becomes louder in Dynamic mode. Is this just artificial noise from the speakers, or is there some change to the exhaust note too? The SEAT Leon apparently changes the exhaust note, which I assume is using a similar drive select system to the Audi A3.
