Hey Guys

Just bought my first Audi, an A3 Sport TDI 2L

Wondering what the options are with aftermarket upgrades and if there are any project enthusiasts on here that could suggest some mods etc?

Thanks

May 12, 20215 yr

Welcome to the forum Danny, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂

Performance mods:

Induction kit or performance panel filter (k&n or similar)

Stainless steel cat back performance exhaust

Then get a remap (best done after the other two mods for more performance etc)

uprated turbo if you're going all the way

Cosmetic

Dechrome the car if you don't like chrome.

New wheels

Front splitter

Wind deflectors

Rear spoiler

Tinted windows

Handling

Lowing springs and matching dampers or coilovers.

Uprated brakes (drilled or grooved discs abd fast road pads)

Uprated anti rollbar or strut brace

Hope I've helped 🙂

Hi, I was wondering if I could have any help please. Mechanic took a look and said chain was fine but in my opinion I think he was not a good mechanic as he decided to fill it with thicker oil. Video below. https://youtube.com/shorts/x1v2CPiySVU?si=GSoD6IpuXaJpE3Lu

One-touch window failure

Stavros · May 29May 29

Hi there - i checked through all the pages related to A5 but didn't see anything on this topic on issues with the one-touch open/close function. I have an Audi A5 Cab B9/F5 40 TFSI S line (pre-facelift) and on the cabriolets, you have 4 switches, one for each window, plus a 5th master which does all the windows at the same time. Each switch has the one-touch operation. The rear window switches and the 5th master switch work up/down with one touch no problems. Problem I have: The front window

Alternator failure related to mild hybrid system?

PocketsAintEmptyCuh · October 16, 20232 yr

I've been seeing more and more posts across FB and multiple forums about people having the alternator failure related to the 48v mild hybrid system and wanted to see if anyone has had this issue and how their experience has been. I know in USA they have announced a TSB with an extended warranty for 7 years but I am trying to get more info from Audi UK but not getting anywhere. Has anyone had this issue and if so has Audi fixed it (if out of warranty)? It seems to be tha

A3 uncommanded engine shutdown

Bobs dad · yesterday at 12:43 PM1 day

I have a new A3 Black Edition auto. Within four weeks of delivery the engine cut out whilst driving, the drivetrain under positive power. The car rolled to a complete halt, the retardation entirely commensurate with the wheels driving a dead engine - it did not freewheel. The instrument panel remained powered and displayed no warning lights or fault messages. I shut the car down and after a pause restarted. Since then it has operated normally. The Distributor has found no data supporting t

I’ve had these wheels since I sold my old 2004 Allroad many years ago & now they’re just in the way, so if anyone wants them, they’re available in Weston-super-Mare! they were refurbished after I bought them, I used them as my summer wheels. I know 1 wheel had a chip in the lacquer, but that was it, they’ve been undercover in the garage ever since I Sold the car, So should be pretty much the same. free to collector if no takers I’ll have to scrap them.

DAB upgrade for 2013 A6 allroad

CHM · May 14May 14

Dear all. I have recently purchased a japanese Import 3.0 A6 Avant allroad. The MMI shows FM, AM and LW but no DAB. Is/was there an upgrade available from Audi or aftermarket when DAB became more commonplace.(Vauxhall offered DAB upgrade for my 2014 Zafira in 2015).

Audi A4 B9 Avant 2016 TDI > Brake pad wear sensor message

letsonk · 5 hours ago5 hr

Hi can anyone help with this. I'm looking to code out the 'brake pad' wear limit reached message on dash. I managed to eliminate the orange brake light symbol when the message appears along with the audible by changing the long coding on VCDS but does anyone know where i can delete the message aswell on VCDS? New pads & discs fitted and also new genuine brake wear sensors but there seems to be that there might be a fault somewhere so im looking to de code it completley. See picture below

Engine / ECU to Injector wiring loom

Neil Robertson · 15 hours ago15 hr

Hi, I'm looking for a engine/injector wiring loom that goes from the ECU (8P0 907 115 T Med 9.1) to the injectors (06F906036A) for a Audi A3 2008 2.0L TFSI Quattro due to an intermittent misfire issue on cylinder no. 4. Cost from TPS for genuine replacement is astronomical, any help would be appreciated (e.g. where to source a replacement, correct part no., etc)

Hi, following on from my previous thread, I have seen another car that I was interested in: https://www.evanshalshaw.com/search/details/used/audi/a5/automatic-petrol-white-coupe/06ce9494-f94d-f111-8fdd-000d3a874790/ When I enquired with the dealer, they said there is only one stamp in the book from February of this year, and no history at all in the Audi database. So there is only evidence of 1 service in almost 10 years. I am starting to get a bit !Removed! off with this actually, and it's real
