Sorry to hear you've lost your keys. Without ringing around various auto locksmiths my only other advice would be to see Audi. But they will charge you alot for a new key. 

Sorry I can't help more.

Cheers

Been recently offered by someone i know a 2.0TDI A3 but im not sure how much to offer for it and hoping someone here can help me get a rough idea for the value of it.

The car is a Yellow a3 2003 or 2004 

Has full leathers inside(sure he said something about it being an S-line interior?), bose sound system, sat nav, he put on a stainless exhaust on it. Exterior condition is average, but nothing a smart repair place cant fix.

The only issue is the car needs a turbo, claims he hasn't seized it.

I can do all the work myself thats not an issue. Parts maybe second hand if i can find a decent condition turbo?

How much would you value it at?

 

It also depends what the service history and mileage is like. Have you got any pictures which will help us have a better idea? 

One thing to say, if it's yellow then it's rare and is most likely Dakar yellow which was a special order colour. 

There is a 2004 one on eBay with 62k and in very good condition. Same colour, engine and leather interior for £3750

So Id say, hypothetically if it's in good condition with a blown turbo I'd say offer around 2k. I could be wrong with my valuation though.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. You can plug a connection for the aux into the back of the radio and then fit the aux socket can be installed on the dash. A good place to fit.the aux socket is in one of the switch blanking plates near to the esp light. 

So the first pic shows the blanking plates below the left air vent. As you can also see, once the radio is out of the dash you can plug the aux connection in the back. 

The second pic shows the type of aux you can fit. 

I've also found this YouTube video which may help. I'm assuming you don't have satnav.

Do both front windows not work or just one? 

Great pics! I'll add them to our Audi's from around the world thread :)

Any guesses?? 

Right. Which one of you did this! 😁

I believe you can plug an aux into the back of the radio :) 

In terms of parts eBay might be a good idea :) 

We would love to see pictures of your a3 in Israel! :)

Welcome to the forum Kevin, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) 

Sounds a very nice spec of A7 you're going to look at :) 

Is the car for sale at a garage or private seller? 

Obviously have a look at the service history and ideally this should be full. Also make sure that the gear changes are smooth both in auto and manual mode as any faults can be expensive to fix. Also make sure that all electronic items work as these too can be expensive to put right. 

One key area to look at are tyres. Are they the same make and I'd the tread wear the same? I ask this as the Quattro system can be sensitive and can be damaged by uneven tyre wear. Joined with this be careful if the car as Dunlop maxx tyres. There have been cases on here of the splitting. Here's the thread for more info: 

It's also worth getting an independent inspection carried out by companies such as the AA or RAC. If the seller is reluctant or refuses to have the inspection carried out then you have to wonder what they or the car has to hide. 

Here are also a couple of YouTube videos which may also help: 

This one has English subtitles

Thanks for the info. The ADs were just everywhere on my mobile making sign up very confusing. Perhaps ou can select ads that don’t have sign up info on which is misleading?

so any must have gadgets or specs? And known issues? Other than tyres.

 

 

Nice extras would be things like reverse camera, sunroof and Sat nav :)
