Agreed. Nearly crashed twice in my a3 because there is too much tech with CarPlay and virtual cockpit which I have been trying to do something and took my eye off the road. Got to be careful Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Due to parallax error by reading your speedo I would contest on these grounds alone. For the non-engineers out there, look at your speedo with your head moved up at 30MPH and it will look like 29 and then move your head down and it will look like 31. It really depends on how tall you are and how...

Car A - A3 SB black edition 2.0 tdi - mine Car B - A3 SB black edition 1.8t - hers

That price is about the going rate to be honest. If mine get any worse I am spraying the outside edges silver and lawyering the lot of em. Diamond cut wheels are just not serviceable for me.

N8 is your man. He does them in Manchester

Yup !

Drove down the M1 this morning to head office and the car felt crap. Dropped it into a local tyre place near work and left it with them He come back and said that all 4 wheels are out of balance. The ones done yesterday were 40 and 60 grams out. WTF ! He has balanced all 4 wheels and I am now...

Theres the problem. You dont get a spare wheel nowadays. Not even a space saver as I would have just chucked the spare wheel and eliminated the problem wheel that way. Its fine for the minute and I need service in 300 miles so I am just going to give Audi the problem to sort.

Wheels swapped. Problem gone away so either a duff tyre or a buckled rim. Not sure which Do I change the tyres at £ 140 each or get the wheels checked out by a specialist. BTW Audi want 600 quid for a new rim ! Ouch Going to have to get something sorted but can't really tell on the back as...

I am off to the office tomorrow in Rotherham. Woudl you take a look if I brought it to you ? The tyre place wont let me see the wheel spinning with the guard off - Health and Safety and all. They wont even let anyone drive the car into the wheel bay in case my foot slips and I smash their...

Local national tyres in Manchester. He said he couldnt see anything wrong with the tyres but not sure how you can see a buckle of a wheel when the tyre is on it. However I am clearly no expert. I hust hope swapping them around works, but I am concerned about the rear of the car vibrating after...

Little update Been back and had the fronts balanced. The guy said that the nearside had been counterbalanced which he would not recommend. Anyway all redone and took it on a test drive up the M60. It is worse than when it was before and rather than the up and down vibration I now have the...

Was this on an 18" rotor ? Mine has started to do it since I had new tyres fitted.

Yes they are standard OEM 18" rotors on an A3 black edition Forget these muppets at National Tyres. If I had known they had stuck so many weights on it I would have questioned it. Looks like I will be going elsewhere and getting someone with experience to do it.

Check them out. These are all on one wheel Can't be right surely

I think that's what I am going to do next. Don't know whether to get the balancing done again and switch front to rear, just switch front to rear or just have balancing checked and try again. The wheel in question has been kerbed by the wife so on two minds whether to let N8 refurb it and have...

I have had my wheels balanced three times now and I still get a slight vibration at motorway speeds which I can feel through the steering and pedals. I seem to have weights stuck all over my wheels. On one side I have weights in three positions and in one part weights stuck on top of weights...

Epic !!!

C'mon lets stop bashing trig. He has had some bad luck and vented it on here as well as probably another dozen forums. I think if you feel a post is irrelevant, then just don't bother reading it and move on. No real need to reply, none of us own the forum so just ignore the posts you don't agree...

Behind this today joining the M60 at Oldham. Sounded lovely and looked in great condition. However the owner drove it like a complete c0ck and cut up an S class trying to get into the 3rd lane. If I wasn't for the reaction of the Merc driver you would have had it written off. Tut tut ! Nice...
