  1. Could you not transfer the wiring looms out of your old doors, along with door cards etc into your new doors?
  2. I've not driving Ben a Merc with 4matic yet. And the x drive cars I drove were early ones.
  3. You're welcome, you might be lucky and just dislodged the wiring. I believe the wiring runs inside the door, so you'll need to take the door card off to inspect the wiring condition.
  4. I'd refit the original ones to see if it's a wiring issue,or an issue with the new ones.
  5. How odd. Glad it was a one off though ☺️
  6. That seems a long time! Usually it's 3 months, but I know there's been an increased demand in cars now that restrictions be are lifting. Delivery time is also affected by the options selected. For example cars with special paint finishes, sunroofs etc take longer. Saying that it might take 3 months to build then a further month getting here thanks to covid and brexit etc.
  7. I can't speak for the a3 8p but I Know on older volkswagens (golf Mk4 era) you had to change over the ECU with the clocks to make them work properly, abd they had to be coded to the car.
  8. No probs. However, I personally find x drive is not as good as quattro.
  9. Ii thought the same as the eml is stored on the ECU.
  10. I personally think it's the quattro system which is the key advantage for any performance Audi. I appreciate it adds extra weight and slows down a 0-60 time compared to rwd but the benefits are more grip in the corners etc.
  11. That's good to hear as dpfs are a nightmare
  12. I've not heard of a petrol particulate filter either. This seems like another new idea to cause more mechanical problems for owners and thus big bills. Glad you like the car.
  13. The trim will either be clipped or glued in. Here's an idea of costing for a new door card: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/283939210689 Here's the trim which shows a part number: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/324437867648 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/402843326215
  14. Fair point! Mind you I bet it's more fun on two wheels anyway! We're planning to attend some shows this year and have a club display, you'd be more than welcome to come along ☺️
  15. Definitely! And good idea to wait after warranty ☺️ you'll have to get your a6 out on track. I did It with my a6 a couple of years ago.
