  • MARDER attack !!!

    Good morning to everyone, last night I had a marten attack on my new 8P. He ate me a hose gurgling to the turbocharger. -> I had no more power this morning. vmax at 50-60 km/h My friend changed the hose (free of charge!) and now he’s running again. Can someone give me a WIRKSAMEN tip against the animals??? Thank you Frank

  • 20″ rims on the A3

    hello people, have a question about the old a3 model. has someone installed 20″ rims here? is there a release for this and were many installments to fulfill? does anyone have a picture here? what chassis did you choose for it? have a new mature from bfgoodrich in Essen on the motor show: 225/30/20 – the absolute hammer I tell you. the car was standing on a carpet, since you have seen almost no mature on the rim below. simply ingenious.

  • How much discount on the A3

    Hello together, I decided now after a test drive with the 2.0 TDI ambition: the car is! What discounts did you knock out on your cars? How do you argue best to get the most out?

  • 3.2r even without LC? HELP!

    Hello! Have a question again… I have looked at the instructions for the Launch Control here in the forum: 1. ESP from 2nd DSG on S 3. Kicking the brake with left foot 4. Give the gas 5. Let go of the brake My car (A3 SB 3.2 Quattro DSG) doesn’t do anything but always want to go straight away! A speed of around 3000 does not always work. Does it only work if you really kick the accelerator to the ground? The other points are very understandable. Can the LC possibly even be disabled? I was of the opinion that I was not unhelpful in these things… but looks quite afterwards? 😉 Well, who wants/can help me with the “sprünge”? Greeting ACAJ (or 8LJA)

  • Automatic air conditioning in the case of cold

    Hello! I have a question about the automatic air conditioning system in my A3 year 1999. If it is as cold as at present, my air conditioning system does not work. In the manual I read that the intention is. However, I don’t quite understand the meaning. Especially when the windows start helps the air conditioning system and this is probably the case in winter rather than in summer. In addition, there is the de-icing function for the windshield. But the air conditioning system is also used for this. But in summer I certainly don’t have any ice on the disk. In addition, the air conditioning system should be switched on again and again in winter. Recently a buddy bought the new polo. In this case the automatic air conditioning system also goes in winter! Can someone give me an explanation for this?

  • Passenger mirror down at reverse-machable?

    With the 8p you can make such an adjustment via the Can-Bus system that the right exterior mirror is automatically adjusted downwards when you insert the reverse gear (and then back of course again)? Some BMWs have such a thing for a while. Is a crazy practical thing when parking in parallel on the curb to get close and spare the rims. Always do this manually with the electric mirror adjustment until now. But if everything hangs on a system anyway, that would have to be feasible.

  • Crackers/cracking back both sides

    Hello. I’ve had a clapping noise in the back for a few weeks. If I’ve been on uneven roads until, or it gets a bit bumpier, then a clearly understandable “Klarack Klarack” comes from behind. I have the new “Antipolter”-steamers in there for two weeks. So it can’t come. Yesterday I also changed the back seat because I had a little suspicion of the locks. But that wasn’t. I mean that it would have to come somewhere at least from the direction there. Could it be something with the belts? Somehow it’s annoying. Now I finally got rid of the poltern, now you can hear this all the better for this. If someone else has these sounds and maybe knows what it is, he can get in touch. Oh well, maybe still to the car. New A3, 07/04. Now 11TKM down. New dampers in the back because of polterns. Thanks already Bernd

  • Diesel will soon be more expensive than gasoline?

    The oil companies expect prices to rise further in the coming months. “It is possible that the price of diesel at the petrol station can be even more close to the price of normal gasoline,” said Uwe Franke, CEO of the German BP, the “world on Sunday.” In a cold winter with correspondingly strong demand for fuel oil, the industry does not exclude a price for diesel that exceeds normal gasoline, the newspaper writes. Both diesel fuel and fuel oil were among the so-called middle distillates, so the demand for one could drive up the price of the other. Currently, diesel is about ten cents cheaper than gasoline. Tax makes petrol more expensive At the spot market in Rotterdam, the ratio has been reversed for three months. Last, the price of one tonne of diesel has been set at 410 dollars, which for normal gasoline is set at 380 dollars. Only thanks to the different taxation of the two types of fuel, the car drivers would get diesel at the petrol station even cheaper than gasoline. While more than 77 percent of the price of normal gasoline consists of taxes, this rate is well 64 percent for diesel. Source: http://fohcush/ms/ms.

  • The “SCHNEEATOMATICS” is active again

    with most road users. There is something similar to snow from the sky and it is sometimes slightly slippery already drive all only a hundred on the AB where you will be overtaken otherwise that you think the right track is a large parking lot. Down from the AB all drive only THREE!!!!!! on an 80s track. Otherwise you will be overtaken there still riskyly if you drive almost 100. You have to throw up today because the dummy don’t drive. In the city are only 35 km/h in with free track because there is one again on summer slumps and a snowflake stands up on the asphalt. Please do not make it NIE NIEMALS!!!! snows in Berlin.
