Cheers bud. Well you can pick up an SE spec for as little as £5k. M sports are a little more...mine was £6k, and its a manual with all the extras so a bit of a bargain really! I think I'm enjoying it too much to worry about economy for now though...

Haha! Well the A3 was a fwd 101bhp 1.6 and the 330cd is a rwd 204bhp 3 litre, so chalk and cheese really pal! Still getting used to the tail happy bmw. The torque is incredible though...

Well, I sold my A3 yesterday...and have done the double by buying not only a diesel, but a BMW at that...! Would just like to say a big thank you for everyone's help over the 4 or so years I've been a member on here. I may not have been a regular poster, but have met some great people! So would...

74 mile round trip a day in the A3.

I have the same issue on the driver's side. Got the car on the ramp, and checked everything. Wishbones, bushes, etc. Mechanic couldn't figure out what the noise was. Only thing I can narrow it down to are the top mounts. I have coilovers and have raised them recently. Interestingly this...

Cheers for the info mate. Its definitely the inner O/S Joint. I hope its the CV joint then and nothing more. Will update as I find out.

Hi all, Yesterday, on my 1.6 sport A3 the driver's side wishbone to ball joint connection (3 bolts through the wishbone) somehow managed to come undone and the the front drivers side collapsed. Now this was an easy fix, I've just replaced the bolts, but now I have no drive. The O/S drive...

Hah! I didn't pay much more than that for the wheels and tyres! I've knocked them out easy from the underneath. They do feel like metal. If they're polished then I might look into re-polishing this set I have then as I already have a polishing kit. Cheers fella

I've just bought a bargain set of 17" TT Comps in Silver with tyres for the winter, but I'm after a set of centre caps. I've been scouting the bay, but can't find the type I'm looking for. They measure 55mm. Does anybody have a pic of the OEM TT Comp centre caps and anyone recommend a good...

Turn the thread so the ring moves closer to the ground, and your car will follow.

Strong work mate. Can tell a lot of time and money went into this project. Now hit it with the lowering stick to finish it off! Love how all your before and after pics are precisely in the same position to each other too! OCD!?:lmfao:

Plenty in the pics thread mate.

Love the mk1 bonnet wrap write up! Hero! :lmfao:

Hah! I shouldn't laugh but I had the same thing happen to me last year. Had to pay £60 excess for windscreen cover so luckily not as bad as it could have been. Unlucky bud.

This. Use a quality sealant. Once every 3 months on the entire wheel. And I coat the dishes on mine with the sealant every other wash. Had my reps a year and no peeling what so ever. They still look brand new. You'll have no problems with a decent set of reps. If, however, you can afford to...

Not sure how difficult it is with the quattros, but its pretty straight forward with the normal A3s. Will take all of half a day.

Why not ask the seller?

I used the same guide as linked to Audifans. mrzuzzo Use metal cutters first, and then use stone files attached to a cordless drill to neaten things up. Its pretty straight forward to do.

Don't mess about with droplinks. They're a waste of time and money, and you will still have knocking. Fit a TT ARB. This will cure any knocking and you can get the car as low as you want. There was a thread about this just last week. Its on page 4. Here's a link to it for you...

I'm looking to go back to the chrome front badge. Found somebody breaking an S3 and just want to know whether the A3 and the S3 share the same front 4 rings badge? I know the grilles are different but I'm unsure about the badge. Or if anybody has a part number for the badge it would be...
