Steve Q

I knew Trevor would have the answer to this one! ;)

Hey Geoff, in response to your question as a club we attend all the major Audi/VAG shows but members can arrange club meetings/events in their part of the country. For example there is a rolling road day coming up in Leicestershire next month but other members have attended meet ups at airshows, museums or other locations :) i think there is talk of holding a rolling road day in the next couple of months in the south :) if you have any ideas for meet ups then please let us know! We like any excuse for an Audi meet up :) hope iv answered your question :) cheers steve

Hi Mark, I have to agree with Piotr it could be the hinges need adjusting. In failing that it might not even be the boot that's mis aligned at all. It could be the drivers side rear panel. Did the garage look to see if the drivers side rear arch panel was right? Cheers steve

Oh dear, I am sorry they weren't helpful! Think your other option is to ring a wheel refurb specialist. They'll probs charge you around £50 to refurb the wheel but they can make a very good job. I used a company call trim technique many moons ago to refurbish a wheel on my mums golf mk4. My mum hit the curb after a mother pushed her pushchair between parked cars into the path of my mum! This obviously caused the wheel to be curbed and the lip of the wheel was bent. They managed to tefurb the wheel and it looks like it never got damaged. My sister was given the car and she still uses the golf and thebwheel has never had lacquer peel or anything! Sometimes with these companies you get some form of guarantee for the work. hope iv helped :) cheers steve

Letter

Nice one :) let's hope there is nothing wrong so that you can enjoy your Audi :)

Yep, only new cars. Anything made 2009 and onwards. They had to have the dpf and egr from 2009 to comply with the new emissions regulations

Welcome to the forum Aimar :) youll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) cheers steve

Welcome to the forum Greg :) youll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) the s1 will feel fast enough! It certainly is no louch. If you want more exclusivity then get the s1 as they are rarer, but obviously the s3 is bigger so more practical and is a lot more common :) hope iv helped :) cheers steve

Sounds good :) they'll be able to tell you easily :) but as I say I believe it's just a regen, and I say this as I worked for a Volkswagen service department ;)

Glad it's sorted Paul :)

Yep sounds like dpf regeneration to me. If the fan stays on constantly whilst driving then I would suggest there is an issue with thermostat but I'd see how it goes :)

Hey Stef welcome to the forum :) youll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) iv had a look online for PDFs but with no proper success. My best advice and if it were me I'd buy one off eBay. As this will help when you come to sell the car on in the future :) cheers steve

I would suspect so from what you've described :) cheers steve

Hey Geoff, i think the main problem is a lack of access to the rear of the lights. Fabricating a tool sounds like a good idea :) i don't think you can lubricate the back of the lights due to the nature of the electrics. Iv found this video, it may help :) iv been unable to find any pics of the headlight bulb holder, sorry. Hope iv helped :) cheers steve

I'm assuming your a3 is diesel and you would be right. I would say it's the dpf regenerating itself :) the car puts the fans on to keep the engine cool whilst it burns off the particulates from the dpf. It burns off the particulates from the exhaust when the exhaust is hot :) hope iv helped :) cheers Steve

Both are great colour choices :) unsure on the sub and amp, sorry.

Was great to meet you Adam :) and I too am looking forward to the rolling road day next month! :)
