Welcome to the forum Scott, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch. I believe the puddle lights are fitted in the light and sight pack or something similar (the name often changes!). Unless the lights are spec'd from factory then the slots won't be there I believe. So not ideally a DIY job but they can be retrofitted with modification. Cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum 🙂 now from my experience of a3 8v electronic handbrakes they should just disengage once you have the biting point. I must stress that the a3 will not have hill hold assist and as such it'll roll. I did find sometimes you have to apply extra acceleration as I found the handbrake a bit dimwitted. my advice would be to find a quiet country lane to practice hill starts on. cheers Steve

I'm guessing you've checked the relevant bulbs and checked to see if there are any loose wires u dwr the passenger front seat for the airbag. If so then I'd advise speaking to an auto electrician or getting a diagnostic check carried out. Cheers Steve

Agree with Gareth. This is quite a common issue on VAG cars from this era. Cheers Steve

Lol 😂 you cruel man 😂

Great work Graham. Ill set up the relevant threads in July or Feb in preparation 🙂 cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum mark, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch. I believe you need the relevant modules etc for it to work. And have it coded. Cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum Richard, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 i love the a6 c5, yours looks to be a sport model. 25mpg is Abit low for the 1.9tdi as I'm getting 29-32mpg out of my 330k 2.5tdi v6 model. the LCD screen failure can be expensive to fix and I'd be taking it to an auto electrician to have the cluster looked at. If you need a new one then it has to be coded to the car regardless if it's new or used. cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum Colin, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 bet you can't wait to get your new toy! cheers Steve

Glad you got sorted 🙂 cheers Steve

I'd avoid it if you can in my opinion but if you have adblue it'll lower your tax. The adblue level is measured by how many times the fuel filler flap is opened I believe. Cheers Steve

Hi, yes the bulbs can be replaced but I believe Audi will want approx £180 per bulb from you. Cheers Steve

I'd look on eBay first for cars being broken and in failing that ring round your local breakers. Cheers Steve

Think all main dealer service departments are the same. Usually there's a 4 week wait on courtesy cars. Age old story, too many cars going wrong and not enough service advisors and technicians to fix them! Cheers Steve

Hi Robin, if this has been fitted as an aftermarket item then I think you'd be better boff contacting your local webasto supplier as I don't think the car would throw up a fault code in my opinion Cheers Steve

Hi Raza, removing the silencers will make it slightly louder but I'd say you'd be better off with a stainless steel custom system to be honest. Cheers Steve

Hi Scott, just scroll down for the parts for sale wanted section 🙂

Great update Sean. Thanks for the info and glad you got sorted 🙂 cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum Steve, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 key thing with the a8 d3 is electrical issues due to being such a high spec car. Just make sure all the toys work as they can be expensive to fix. Cheers Steve
