    Roof rails - fitting or bonding ?

    I'm trying to find people who can do the fit - anyone there ? Please ? I still hold that bonding, properly done, is as strong as you can get. And that is the key - properly done. Parts of the space shuttle were held together by bonding. With bonding, it is usually the material attached to...

    Roof rails - fitting or bonding ?

    To put things in perspective, windscreens are bonded to your car and form part of the strength of the car - the correct adhesives are as strong as, if not stronger, than some metal screwed joints. I am not capable of doing the roof liner removal myself, but if you know someone who can do it -...

    t8ups LED upgrade

    I've had TUPS LEDs for the past year - great service. If you have the puddle lights they can be a bit of a sod to fit - but the rest is child's work. No CANBUS errors

    Audi A3 2005 Sportback - Bluetooth Retrofit Parts Required ?

    I have just removed a bluetooth unit from my 2005 A3 which will be going on Ebay. You don't say what year your wife's A3 is - I can provide you with the part number of mine - it has worked perfectly but I have moved to a new head unit which has BT included. The microphone is included.

    Roof rails - fitting or bonding ?

    I would like to add roof rails to my 8P Fastback 2005. I have managed to get a set. Has anyone had experience of fitting them using bonding rather than taking the roof lining out to screw them on. I don't intend to use them to carry goods, just from the point of view of appearance - although...

    LED foglights

    Trups supplies replacement bulbs for the fogs, but they are halogen white light ones rather than LEDs.

    Carpet mats for an A3 Sportback..

    I spent hours looking then paid the £47 to get the genuine Audi ones - Stoke Audi Parts was the cheapest I could find at the time. I am very pleased with them. I just need to find the rear set now !

    Wheel wobble/jitter/wriggle/nervousness

    Just to let everyone know, despite paying an Audi dealer for a diagnosis (wishbone bushes or differential) it turned out to be the o/s drive shaft. This was replaced under warranty and the car drives beautifully now. Letters will be written to the dealer !

    Can I set my side lights up to be daylight running lights (drls) ?

    I don't want to do the indicators though - it would make more sense to put LEDS in the side lights and make them DRLs. I seem to remember something about Canada settings

    Help get my car back on the road

    I know its the smallest fault - rear washer jet is a common issue - pull it off and clean it out, or get a new one off Ebay for £2.99. This won't fix the wiper motor leak though !

    Can I set my car up to have daylight running ligths (drls) ?

    My 05 A3 has Xenons (not bi-Xenons) and automatic lights. Is there a setting that can be used to set up the sidelights, or the fog lights, to operate as drls ? Also, I note that the automatic lights seem to come on when it is still quite light - is there a sensitivity adjustment available...

    Wheel wobble/jitter/wriggle/nervousness

    I am not sure how similar the tiptronic is to DSG in the way it works. However I was worried about the increase on hills - as you say, strain or torque, which made me start to worry about drivetrain issues. However, I'm pinning my hopes on bushes first !

    Wheel wobble/jitter/wriggle/nervousness

    Its interesting - my wobble is just 25-35 mph, but is worse going up hill - I don't know if the fact that I have a tiptronic gearbox makes a difference

    Wheel wobble/jitter/wriggle/nervousness

    Wheels in Motion is a great place. I used them when I had a couple of MX5s. They will certainly get your full tracking sorted.
