Have you got a link to where you bought these lights from? Did you check with a garage if they would pass an MOT?
-
Post a photo of your wheels
-
I’ve got the S3 alloys from 2012MY on my A3 and I love them, otherwise GTI or Gold R wheels maybe even scirocco
-
Hi, you would need an additional control module to get the buttons to work but yes the steering wheel will fit
-
Hi I haven’t swapped RS bumpers but upgraded my 2005 to a bumper from a 2012 car… nothing required unless you wanted to upgrade your rear lights to LED if you haven’t already
-
Check the offset as I tried A5 wheels but they stuck out too far
-
Hi, search for 8P LED upgrade wiring harness, it’s possible because I did it on my 2005 A3 Sportback and now has the later lights from 2012 car
-
The catch in the boot is electronic so might be the switch on the handle that’s broken and needs replacing
-
Hi, if it’s the pre-facelift I think before 2008 it will fit so basically look for a bumper from a car with indicators in the side wing… I have a 2005 Audi and upgraded my bumper to S-Line for a cleaner smooth look and fitted perfectly
-
Hi, I’m having the same issues, are you getting a bulb failure warning light come up in your dashboard cluster though?
-
Hi do you have a tailgate spoiler or not? I might have one spare around - genuine

If you have the AUX socket just get an Amazon Alexa Auto, plugs into USB and AUX then automatically connects when you switch it on -
Hi, I know there was a ‘black edition’ which came with a black grille surround. Fairly easy to change the grille just need to remove the front bumper - I’ve gone for a honeycomb aftermarket grille looks a lot better in my personal opinion.

If you’ve got the other ambient lights like the two red dot LED’s above your mirror and illuminated interior door handle lights you should have this already but doubt it would’ve died as they are LED. The door handle LED’s aren’t especially bright but this one in the centre is easily visible
-
I will personally just pay that little bit extra for fuel and go premium unleaded, government still taxes that heavily so either way they win
-
I had a slight panic moment this morning as I thought about the new E10 unleaded. I have a 55 reg A3 8P with 1.6 FSI and the gov website stated that the 2004 1.6 FSI was not compatible with the new fuels. Always best to check with Audi though. Mines fine as it’s got the 2006 engine after they checked the reg. https://www.gov.uk/check-vehicle-e10-petrol

I’ve got the ambient lighting pack which includes interior door handle lights, two red LED above interior mirror directed to the dashboard, footwell lights, centre console storage light - all RED LED but don’t think there’s an actual light in the ashtray itself just the storage bit forward of it
-
Have a look at the trim cover on eBay or Audi parts see where the clips are and carefully prize off from there
-
I’d say if you’re changing the dust covers, best to replace ball joints too just stops you having to do the same job twice have a look at GSF but depends if you’re doing the work yourself
-
As far as I’m aware, the diffusers are universal over 3-door and 5-door Sportback. I’ve got the facelift bumper on my 2005 and fitted the upgraded S-Line diffuser. I’d ask sellers for part numbers from both 3 and 5 doors to compare
-
I have the same noise when I first start it up occasionally it’s really weird
-
I think there’s another part of the steering column like a contact ring for the buttons to actually work but otherwise yes it will fit if it’s 8P
-
I’ve found LED side lights that work without errors but not actual H7 headlight bulbs if anybody is able to let me know please
-
Anybody tried the aftermarket wiper motor off eBay? I have the issue of the wiper arm being too floppy and going into the paint work, it’s the gearing inside that’s worn and need a new motor - I’ve adjusted the arm as much as I can but no luck. I previously had to strip down my motor like ^^ to clean out the rust and gunk

Anybody know if any have built in Apple CarPlay?
