  1. Hi all, Has anyone here lowered their stock a3 1.9tdi by 30mm? 

    I've just fitted a nice refurbished set of 18" sline alloys, fitted with 205/40/18 tyres 

    And just bought a set of 30mm lowering springs to fit on my car, just so the car sits a little nicer, just wondered if anyone on here had done similar and did the car look and drive ok? 

  2. OK Guys, so I decided to have a go at doing my Cambelt and waterpump change myself, Happy to say all went well, really not hard to do at all, I sorted a full Cambelt kit and waterpump from a local Motor factors for £76 (dayco Kit)

    And £11.28 for 5ltrs of G12+ coolant 

    Total spend less that £90 all in

    Took me about 5 hours in total from start to finish, but saved myself about £400 so well happy

    Going to do a sevice tomorrow too, so my cars all spot on👍

  4. Hi all, Has anyone here done their own cambelt change on a 1.9tdi a3? 

    If so was it really as hard as it sounds to do?

    I'm pretty competent in doing my own servicing etc to my cars and motorbikes,  so seriously thinking about buying a full cambelt kit inc waterpump and doing mine myself, I have access to the cam locking tools...

  5. Hi all, can anyone tell me what the cambelt interval is on a 1.9tdi 2006 a3 please? 

    My car is on 96k now and had a cambelt at 47k, is the cambelt done on mileage or time specific?  I'm sure I've read somewhere that on the 1.9tdi it's done on mileage and not on time, I. E so many years or x amount of miles
