    well I'm off

    MB, When I ordered mine, you could not get money off a Touring D3, I still dont think you can now, and of the two other companies I contacted to try to order, none could give me a firm build slot, they didn't have a car in the metal or a existing order and were talking 3-4 months min but not...

    well I'm off

    thanks for that..... almost popped out to check I've got the right one, then I remembered what it feels like to drive, agree a little in the pic, but no so much in the metal,its probably about half the size at the back of a Galant and a lot lower... but as not really after a load-lugger, I'm...

    well I'm off

    in my experience most dealers want to keep a sale so dont want to give deposits back so are happy to take someone else's name or even buy back early build slots on certain cars, there a number of ways, ebay and other more specialist websites, I advertised the D3 deposit/build slot via...

    well I'm off

    thanks for your thoughts guys, its the one I was really after (335d would be great but really couldn't justify the extra) but couldn't afford a 3.0 until I made some extra pennies, I am very pleased with the 3, although I have just found today, it doesnt have bluetooth even though it has...

    well I'm off

    today I finally did the deal that sees the end of my time with Audi for a while. I've done a deal to px my 3.2 against a pre-reg 330d M-sport touring, need the space, resale, rwd and a change, oh and 200 miles per tank full of Super U is getting a little expensive..... I did have an order...

    Symphony II » RNS-E sat nav Retrofit

    good write up, well done for taking the time to document the upgrade, have to admit I thought about doing something similar myself but it all went in so smooth and quickly I couldn't wait to try it out, was a TT fan and had most models, modded, updated etc, etc, but now totally in love...

    What engine do you have in your A3?

    Petrol for me, I'm with you Wilko, any poll will pretty much always end up as one side against another, I bet if we asked which was the better diesel 1.9 or 2.0 both sides would have an opinion, same for FSI owners T vs NA or us 3.2 gluttons... god help us when its SB vs 3DR!!! oh and...

    2.0TFSI Intake Modification Guide

    RobinA3, from your diagram of the design and my experience with other cars and bikes, the design looks like a venturi, designed to draw only the air the car needs, by having the lip the car effectively sucks air, if it needs more as engine revs rise then it creates a vacuum as it pulls in...

    RSN-E Questions..

    I found all the info I needed on the navplus forum, I used kufatec.de in germany who allow you to configure your lead exactly to your car, dont forget you probably also need an aerial adapter from Symphony to RNS, its the wrong type as standard in the car and a splitter lead for the diversity...

    Question ?

    one of us has got to wait to post an answer its like that two ronnies sketch where the answer is one question behind...;) sequence on mine is in auto, you can't fiddle with fan speed or air distribtution but you can have aircon off (press ECON) in auto as soon as you press any of the...

    Question ?

    must be cold up your way, I think if you check your manual I remember something about you not being able to turn the ac on below a certain temperature

    Question ?

    Yes Econ is off when you press auto and vice versa. d3fy mine does the extra wipe?, pretty sure it can be vagcom adjusted, to add or subtract I actually don't like the extra wipe my last two cars have done it and I like to decide when I've done enough wipes, usually end up with a...

    Whoops

    ouch, if they are reporting you for dangerous driving, the speed is irrelevant, think its about 6-10 points and in extreme instances a ban. I think in these sort of situations the options are careless which is less serious than the dangerous driving they've gone for, must have been a small...

    Engine Weights

    oh yes, by quite a bit too, don't know actual engine weights and as the cars are not the same spec other than the engine its difficult but the 2.0T quattro is quoted by Audi as 1430KG the 3.2 quattro is quoted as 1495KG not sure other than the brakes what's different between these two...

    Am I being realistic?

    I bet whatever someone has to offer is just not quite right, wrong model, wrong colour, wrong spec etc etc..to make top money IMHO, .

    Am I being realistic?

    it is sad to reflect (for our residual values) that most areas have a lot of A3s now and certainly Portmouth Audi is chock full of A3s, not sure where they all came from but most of them are middle of the road spec and models, nothing as nice as EEEF's, but they do make higher spec private...
