Replacement seat covers
If you want an original Audi seat better ask Audi. Other than that an internet search showed many companies making seat covers ranging from loose slip over types to custom made. Bear in mind that your old upholstery may have faded so it will be difficult to match the colour.

1.8 TFSI Ticking Noise [A3 8p]
Sorry Mark. I will not download anything from untrusted sources. If you can put the video on Youtube for example I'd be happy to look at it there.

2022 Q5 Clunking noise while braking stationary m
Ye Gods! Is it not being done under guarantee, and if not why? As Magnet mentioned, the car should still be under warranty.

Do you have an update for us Russell?

Please do.

Burning smell
The stink of burning rubber often indicates a belt is slipping.

A6 2.0tdi ultra intermittent hesitation
Transient faults like that are a devil to diagnose, and as you know, replacing parts at random could cost you many times the value of the car. I suggest you get it professionally tested as some code readers are better than others.

S Line Suspension Issues
If you believe the suspension is defective, get it tested. If the test proves it to be normal then you have chosen the wrong car and need to either upgrade the suspension or buy another car.

S Line Suspension Issues
How soft is soft? Ones man's soft will be another man's firm. The matter is so subjective that the only sensible thing to do is try an identical car as a comparison.

A7 2016 SPEAKER KEEPS DISTORTING
It depends on the left/right balance. If the left speaker is set louder than the right it will be the first to fail.

A7 2016 SPEAKER KEEPS DISTORTING
Speaker damage is often caused by overloading. Do you often have the volume high?

Audi Extended Warranty
Scrutinise the exclusions very very carefully. Most of these policies are not worth the paper they are written on.

Lazy Digital Driver Display
That seems to be normal for such companies. If you can not do it yourself you will need to get a garage to do it.

Tailgate lock totally seized
Is thus the same boot on the same car that you reported as fixed an hour ago? https://www.audiownersclub.com/forums/topic/28341-a4-cab-issues/

Thanks for letting us know.

I can't help on that score. Do please let us know the outcome.

A3 (8PA) gear selector issue
Even that could be an expensive waste of money. Just because another car has the same symptoms as yours does not mean the cause or its solution is the same as yours. Diagnosis is the key to getting a repair at the lowest cost. If your current Audi specialist can not find the problem, find another specialist.

Starter motor conundrum
I agree that a 12 tooth pinion would have 11/12ths of the mechanical advantage of an 11 tooth pinion if all other factors are the same, so does the replacement motor have increased torque to compensate?

Car problems
Brandon. In your position I would not be worrying about a wiper/washer repair when the engine does not work. The engine problem could be far more expensive to solve so surely it would make sense to solve that first?

2007 Audi A3 central locking issue
Mateusz. Does that happen with both keys or only one of them?

Not starting
Thanks for letting know.

Power steering issue
The wrong fluid may well have degraded and swollen the rubber seals in the pump and the ram. If so they will have to be replaced.
-
Temp issue
Possibly the cooling fans are not turning off at low temperatures, but I would have expected your garage to have spotted that.

Real risk of theft ?
Very true. A highly visible anti-theft device like a steering lock in bright yellow may well deter an attempted theft and avoid the damage, however I know from experience that such devices soon become too inconvenient to fit and remove after every journey, not to mention where to store them in the car during a journey. The occasional instance of not fitting it for a few minutes outside the shops eventually becomes not fitting at all.

Audi A3 1.5 TFSI CoD 2017 (67) Confusion!
Raj. Audi recommendations in respect of cambelt and water pump have changed over the years so it is not surprising you can not get consistent answers from dealers. Personally I stuck to the old suggestion of 70000 miles. Nobody suffered an engine failure by servicing it ahead of schedule. When it comes to the gearbox you are on your own. You are pushing more power through it and the rest of the transmission than normal, so you can not rely on normal service recommendations. Yet again, nobody suffered a gearbox failure by servicing it ahead of schedule.
