From the Movie Good Morning Vietnam: [Lt. Steven Hauk uses Army jargon to refer to a press conference to be given by former Vice-President Nixon] Adrian Cronauer: Excuse me, sir. Seeing as how the V.P. is such a V.I.P., shouldn't we keep the P.C. on the Q.T.? 'Cause if it leaks to the V.C. he could end up M.I.A., and then we'd all be put out in K.P.

Hi Paul and Tom Please excuse a "joint" response Its a 3.0 with F.A.S.H up to 131k.....it has 138k on the clock I have had loads of new out of the box high end cars as company vehicles with less than 10 miles on the odometer upon delivery and normally changed them at 100k or every two years but this is my first "new to me" one that I actually own and have responsibility for the cost of running. I drove them and called the dealer when they broke knowing the bill was irrelevant to me.............reality now bites back with a vengeance. hence all the questions, it's now upfront and personal. I've a little bit of girly giggles, excitement and trepidation so please excuse mundane (read as "sigh heard all this before") questions, I will simmer down MM

Nathanc, Yo. So i put a Pipercross panel filter in mine. About 30squid. I recommend it. I never liked the idea of doing the old honda s2000 filter mod without fitting a box around it and some cold air feed. I guess it depends on how willing you are to start changing things under yer bonnet. I'm going for simple, subtle things. Filters, plugs, remap and then keep it really well serviced. .. ..Not really answered your question. I guess I'm trying to say that it's easier to make your car worse than better if you don't know what you are doing. Chris

Hello David, I certainly don't want to claim any expertise with this, but perhaps some logical thought might point to the fact that the engine cuts out when it needs to when the brake is applied when stationary. Now, if it cuts out when it should not, then is this issue linked to some fault within a brake switch? Of course, this arguement may be knocked on the head by some logic that the engine cut out (when it should) is actioned via. a combination of brake switch and a sensor which senses the car is stationary. Not sure whether this is of any help or not - I guess not. I am not going to wish you good luck in getting this sorted - it should not depend on luck! Kind regards, Gareth.

Hello Bradon and Jason, Not sure if I'm barking up wrong trees with you model years, but I'm pretty sure the earlier than 2008 models may not/did not, have mounting points for these bars. As I understand it, they can be retro fitted, but it means drilling the roof at the appropriate points! As I say, I could be wrong, but might be worth checking before buying. Kind regards, Gareth.

if you want it to sit like that you'll need coilovers. you could get it to sit a lot nicer but just lowering it with shorter springs though for a lot less money

Found this A3 on Instagram. This is what I'm aiming for.....
