I live near Leicester and use AC motor services in Syston, near Leicester.
There's also Chapmans independent Audi specialist in Wigston Leicester but I've not used them personally.
Has it got electronic power steering?
If so, how olds the battery? If it's over 5-7 years old then it could be failing which is causing the steering not to work properly as it's drawing a lot of power.
One of the most common causes is a loose airbag wire under the passenger seat.
I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up.
It could also be the airbag deactivation switch in the glovebox.
When I had a rough running Volvo 940 I disconnected the maf sensor and it ran better. I knew mad sensor was faulty. Once it was replaced it ran spot on. Not sure if you can try that trick with the A3 as it's more technical.

Did you have to run spacers etc to fit them?
Just wondering if they'd bolt straight up to my c5 2wd. Have you got any pics?
And what condition are the tyres?
