    Are there any DPF issues on the 2.0 140bhp engine?

    I had a 2.0 tdi CR engine with DPF and despite the odd (normal) regen the DPF caused me zero issues.

    Why almost all car garage men are such jerks?

    Quite, but being rude and not very accommodating to the general public isn’t very “professional”....is it.

    Why almost all car garage men are such jerks?

    Oh I realise it don’t worry about that, but a rude “professional” isn’t actually very “professional” in my opinion.

    Why almost all car garage men are such jerks?

    True “professionals” should not let the odd idiot prevent them from providing a polite and courteous service.....because if they do then they are not true “professionals” Just my opinion of course.

    Cam belt advice for an Audi A3 (63 plate)

    Spot on, don’t fall into the trap. Businesses don’t offer anything for free. Get yourself a reputable Audi Indy and let them do the cam belt, you’ll save £££ and get the job done to a similar or better standard.

    Really? I recently hit my wife's A1 and caused pretty sh!t bumper damage, far worse than yours......and it cost me £167 from chips away and the job is first class. You literally cannot tell it was damaged. Strange.

    2.0TDI 3dr Vs 5dr?

    You needn't have bothered deleting your comment about the underside of my car, I found it really amusing actually :salute: But yeah, of course it's all just personal preference. I actually like the 3 door, just not the rear lights that's all. If that white A3 is yours then I take my hat off...

    Just got a 2011 A3, need advice on cleaning kit

    Overkill imho. I ALWAYS go to town on cleaning products when I've got a new car, and then over time not so bothered. Find a middle ground with the products you buy, Auto Glym are excellent and won't break the bank. Shampoo, wax, window cleaner and alloy wheel cleaner....job done.

    2.0TDI 3dr Vs 5dr?

    I stand by what I said, the 3 door from the rear looks very dated. Sportback is way nicer looking.

    2.0TDI 3dr Vs 5dr?

    Rear of the 3 door just looks very dated imo, specifically the lights. I also think the 5 door Sportback is just generally nicer looking and much more practical.

    My first Euro TDI

    No I think black wheels look great, on the right car. I just don't think they go with your car that's all.

    New tyres, which are good value?

    Barum Bravauris 3HM (Continental made). i can't speak highly enough of these, you DONT need to break the bank on tyres, these are superb for the price.

    Tyre Noise?

    I changed my tyres recently to Barum Bravauris 3HM and the road noise difference is phenominal compared to the Michelin's I had on before. Barum are made by Continental and they grip in the wet and dry superbly. Just shows, you DONT need to spend stupid money on tyres, I never have and after...
