cheers

Steve 

No worries Dan! 

I'm always on the lookout for new events. Once I've found one il post it. Alternatively if you find an event than by all means let us know and we will try and attend :) 

Oh and don't forget to add some pics of your t5 in the "what else do you ride/drive" section :) 

cheers 

Steve 

I know the front bulbs are tricky to replace and the air box needs removing so in order to get at the holder. You shouldn't have to remove the headlights. 

The problem you have is that the bulb holders weren't designed for led bulbs and as you rightly pointed out you would need load resistors. 

Sorry i can't be of any more help. 

Cheers

Steve

No worries Dan, I appreciate it's along way for you to travel. If you come across any events out your way than feel free to share it. We will be more than happy to rally some members as I know there are other members in Scotland :)

cheers

H Steve.  Don't know of any in Scotland either I'm afraid but I will have a good look around. Unfortunately the dates for the meetings are not possible for me to attend...gutted. Thanks for inviting me!

That's fine :) if you find any than let me know. 

Dont worry, I appreciate it's a long way for you to travel! 

Your welcome for the invite, it's just good to get members together when we can :) 

cheers

Hi there, what type of towbar are you thinking of fitting? 

Fixed or detachable? 

I believe the b7 can tow: 

unbraked trailer of 750kg

braked trailer of 1900kg

i also believe the b7 kerb weight is between 1510kg and 1535kg.

i hope iv been some help. 

Cheers

Steve

Hi David, welcome to the forum :) 

shouldnt your a3 have the cup holders in the centre console, under the vent controls? 

Im unsure about the speaker lights to be honest 

cheers

Steve

Welcome to the forum :)

sorry to hear your having issues. My number one recommendation would be to take it back to where it was serviced as the issues only occurred after it had been there. 

Cheers

Steve 

I think your best bet is eBay :)

Thanks for arranging this Steve, hopefully we can get a good number from around that area of the country.

If anyone is interested in going, just post up here to say you're interested and we'll add your name to the list

Thanks Trevor. The organiser is going to post a club pack to me on Friday. So once I know more il let you know. 

For info the organiser works for performance Audi magazine

Welcome to the forum Mickey, sorry to hear about your a3 issues. I think Dan has summed it up well. 

Hope it gets sorted soon 

cheers

Steve 

Hi Justin welcome to the forum :) 

if it were me I would stick with the tyres that are already fitted. I say that as you already know they are quiet which is already a good thing. 

Michelins are good and iv heard Goodyear eagle f1 are good. And I don't see it to be a problem to put the fronts on the back as you have Quattro but your local tyre specialist will be able to advise otherwise. 

Also if you've been to France recently then feel free to write a road trip review with your hints and tips. I'm sure URL be useful for other members :) 

oh and if you would like to display your q7 at any up and coming events with us then just let us know :)  We are trying to get enough cars for VAG Tuner Live which is happening at Donington park on Sunday 16th July. 

Cheers

Thanks very much Steve.

Your most welcome Derek :) 

let us know how you get on :)

Right. 

I have spoken to the organiser for the event and he is happy to have us on board!

info: 

Our display requires a minimum of 5 cars

aftermarket parts suppliers will be demonstrating their products. I.e. Showing off their suspension whilst doing laps of the track. 

Car rides round the track will be available in an Audi R8.

there will be rides i.e. Dodgems

il pass on further info once I have it :) 

Hi Josh I would say you'd be looking at 6 hours labour time at a guess. 

Cheers 

Steve

Hi Josh, welcome to the forum:) 

glad you've finally got a transfer box! So hopefully you'll be back on the road soon! 

Cheers

Would love to but I'm in Scotland!  Any up here?

Hi Chris, 

I'm not sure of any Audi events in Scotland currently. Are you aware of any? 

If so we would be more than happy to rally support and attend the event :) 

i do know we have other members who live in Scotland. 

Would you be interested in displaying your Audi at VAG Tuner or Audis in the park? 

Thanks for your interest! :)

cheers 

Steve

Hello Chris welcome to the forum :)

Oh and don't forget to check out the events section. We are always looking for cars to represent the club on display stands :) 

cheers 

Steve 

Hello Archies and welcome to the forum :) 

youll find all the guys and gels on here a friendly bunch and if you've got any questions we will be more than happy to help.

Welcome to the forum Jonny :) 

sorry to hear your predicament. I'm assuming you have the 2.0tdi? 

If so, my dad has the 2.0tdi Vw Passat (66 plate) and he is getting into the high 40s low 50s with mpg but he has the car computer set to the eco mode. 

he was getting those figures pretty much straight away. To put your mpg into comparison my 2002 a6 2.5tdi is getting in the mid 30s for mpg. 

I would deffo get Audi to have a look and plug the car into a diagnostic machine 

cheers 

Steve 

Here's another show you guys and gels may be interested in attending.

its on the 26th-28th June :)

Sun 16th July VAG Tuner @ Donington park race track, Leicestershire 

Sun 13th august Audis in the park @ Deenes park, Corby, Northamptonshire 

sat 16th September Audi Driver International show @ castle Combe race track in Wiltshire. 

Let us know if you can make any of them. And we'll get you added to the list of display cars! :)

Just had a recall for my Honda CRV for potential exploding Airbags...at least I get them done for free I suppose.

This fault has affected a range of cars worldwide, made by one company and fitted to loads of cars...all defective!  Going to cost millions to sort I would imagine

I think Toyota are caught up in that aren't  they? As well as some of the German manufactures. I don't think the VAG group are affected however :) 

not surprised your excited! You'll be getting a very nice car! :) 

I'm planning too! :D
