    P.R.N.D.S flashing

    Post your question in the 8P section - your car is an 8P not 8L. I don't think it's a problem that will go away by leaving the car off for 3 days or 3 years unfortunately.

    audi a3 1.6 fsi dnt start

    Wrong forum, you need the 8P section. Have you scanned it for fault codes?

    are these secure does anyone have one?

    Seeing as you can get any plate made up without a V5 surely it doesn't really matter? If someone really wanted your plate they can just rip the whole surround off.

    Remap on high mileage

    It was mapped at 109k, an upgraded turbo kit at 111k The main concerns are turbo and clutch/dmf when mapping and it's had all of them upgraded. I wouldn't worry though with 96k.

    I've bent my key!

    And then post it to your house... wouldn't take the chance if he's got some dodgy mates. Wouldn't be the most elaborate way of nicking a car. I got a blade and got it cut and Timpson for less than a tenner. Was a HAA key though, I think 8P keys are the same virtually.

    can i get the colour code of reg number ?

    If you call Audi or go into a dealership, if the car hasn't had a registration change then they should be able to tell you the colour code.

    Finding my old car

    Why not just go and buy another 2.0T Quattro with the required spec? I understand it was your car but who knows what the current owner has done to it, it's not really any different from buying a completely unknown car unless they've only had it a few weeks...

    Is this a Record ?

    One on Autotrader here with 130k 77k isn't that much really. If I could get an S3 I'd probably get that and stick a big turbo on it!

    RS3 Driven by Pistonheads

    Story found at PistonHeads Headlines - Driven: Audi RS3 Sportback Looks nice but 40k is a lot for a hatch based on an old chassis. 335hp though!

    what should i do too my a3

    As has been said, either sell it and get a different car, or wait. No point wasting money on anything other than aesthetic mods as power gains would be minuscule. I thought for a very long time about selling my 1.6 (not an 8P, but still a 1.6), and I wouldn't have been able to get insurance on...

    Keyless ignition retrofit?

    Just a thought, but if the barrel is just a switch with an immo coil, couldn't you have the button installed, with a relocated immo coil on the dash (or wherever), place the keys on the dash and hit the button? If you just hit the button then you wouldn't be able to start the car anyway...

    Boost Gauges...Show em

    These S4 LED systems look really good I think, wonder if anyone has done a similar thing with an A3? Only issue would be the lights in the clock face like handbrake or traction control I suppose.

    2.0TDI 140 and 1.4T thoughts?

    Had a 1.4T as a courtesy car from Audi. Great fun but then I drive a 1.6 so was enjoyable feeling the turbo kick in. Economy was ok but not fantastic if you enjoy booting it every now and again. Heard they can be mapped to 200 BHP. I'd probably go for the diesel (never driven one though) as...

    Suzuka Gray A3, any other Suzuka grays out there?

    Does this determine the RS3 is defo on its way!!

    All ********. Not the RS3, and it won't have a retractable spoiler, its not a fighter jet pmsl.

    170bhp owners - Has anyone removed the DPF and got a custom map?

    Why does removing the DPF give such a performance increase? Better flow out the exhaust or something? Do only the 170s have DPFs?
