Hi,

I was wondering if and where I could get hold of a replacement for the plastic panel behind the grill in the number plate area, only mine has some creases in it.

It looks like it's just popped out. Is it not.just a piece of bracing for the grill? 

I thought so, it must be popped out and I must've clicked it back in the other day. Thanks Steve.

Hi George have you got a less zoomed in pic? I'm assuming these are attached to the slam panel?

Cheers

Hi Steve, here are the less zoomed pictures.

Hi guys, stupid question but what are the small plastic pieces just behind the grille, only I managed to make one make a clicking noise earlier.

Hi, I am thinking about trying some redex diesel additive/cleaner in my 2.0 A3, however I am unsure on how I can get the redex into the tank as the fuel filler is one of those antiwrongfuel ones. Does anyone know how I can get the additive in?

Looking great George! :) Not seen you on here in a little while. You ok? 

Thanks, yeah I'm good, you?

Sorry, couldn't resist some freshly waxed rainy shots.

From personal experience, and possibly not shared as an opinion by others but, I have long since given up filling the washer reservoir to full - particularly in the lower useage summer months- due to the mixed solution 'going off'. 

I now just add about 2litres from empty since. Irrespective of the concentration, this fluid (or the water content anyway) has a tendancy to coagulate when left standing, and smells and tends to clog the pump filter and jets after time. In effect, in summer in particular, keep the volume in the tank to a minimum and top up frequently.

Kind regards,

Gareth. 

Thanks Gareth, I'll bear that in mind.

Not very big!

My previous X1 went nearly 2 years before it needed topping up. The A3 needed filling after a couple of months. It usually takes about two and a half litres to fill it from when the warning light comes on (no headlight washers). It seems to use a lot of fluid with each wash.

Thanks, that works out with the non headlight washer version with the alert coming on at half a litre ish.

found this m8, you may have to adjust as you still have some in the washer bottle best to make up 1litre bottles at a time till you get a rough idea for next time

5.5 litres with headlight washers
3.0 litres without

Thanks Paul, 5.5 litres it is 

Hi Paul,

No I was just wondering as I didn't want to makeup too much washer fluid from the concentrate.

Hi guys,

I was just wondering what the reservoir capacity is on the a3 8v hatchback only the warning buzzer has come on to tell me it is low on washer fluid.

Great looking car George. I really like the 3 door A3. 

Thanks Rich!

Hi George  

 you have a nice 3 door A3. Is the frount seat mechanism that allows you into the back sexy still? MK1 A3 lifted the seat up and forward onto the steering wheel. Sadly I have to have a 5 door for practical reasons now. Thanks for posting though

The front seat mechanism doesn' lift the seat but tilts it forward and slides it forward as you push the seat.

Looks great George :) I do love the colour :) 

Thanks Steve ☺

Hi Steve,

Sign me up, my mate wants to come too. By October he may have got his A1 but if not he'll be in my A3. How are the cars displayed anyways? I'm going to have to get my car cleaning skills upto scratch, if you'll pardon the pun 😂.

My A3 TDI

Yeah it's a shame that they are axing the 3 door, but I guess it makes mine rarer. I will definitely look at the upcoming shows.
