Hi All,

New to the scene, Stacked my old car and decided to pay off some debt and pick up an older but hopefully good runner, so plumped for an '02 Audi A3 with the V5 engine. Got about 130k on the clock but comes will full MOT and 6 month Tax, so hopefully it will serve me well.

Test drove it today and felt lovely to drive, very smooth, responsive, all seemed to work etc.

Few little bits need attention, touch of bobbling paint on the roof just along one of the little metal strips that run front to back (not sure of the technical name! lol). Also quite a few of the dials/buttons etc internally are quite work, so the black paint has come off etc.

So first things first I want to tidy the car up, will be looking for replacement switch units and control dials etc. Any freebies/cheapies greatly appreciated! ;-)

Then knowing me will probably look to start modding and playing with the car, I can't usually help myself. :-s

Name is J (At least that's what people generally call me) and I live in Hampshire, looking forward to getting to know you guys and mining your brains for whatever knowledge I can!

Cheers

J

Hi J welcome!  :)

 

Sounds like a nice A3 I'm sure she will serve you well!

Cheers buddy,

 

Better late than never to get a reply. lol.

 

Got the car now though and all seems well, clocked up my first 100 miles in her today and can't really fault at all so far.  Enjoying driving it.  :)

 

Got my eye on a lot of replacement units to replace the worn units in my car, also going to replace the head unit I think too.  Been trying to look to see about a double din build but not turned much up in terms of being able to do it or if anyone else has etc.

Glad you're enjoying it!

 

Has your A3 got room for a double din?
