    Latest Update 18 11 24 It appears that the above system does work as long as I don't double click the remote to 'deadlock' the doors! 🤔... no more deadlocking then if I want to use the remote central locking system.

    Short lived joy... it has gone back to not working again 😢 I will have to have it checked out professionaly as suggested. Thank you.

    I have found the answer elsewhere thankfully, saved myself £80 🙂 "Lock car by key and in 1 sec press unlock button"

    Hi, Can anyone offer advice as to why suddenly all my doors will not remotely open even though the boot release does still work? I have tried my spare key fob and all the doors still will not remotely open. Thank you.

    Thank you, done it 🙂

    Hi, Can anyone please explain how to re-align the metal ring surround on the air vent. It has many tabs and slots and I can't figure out how to re-engage it? Thank you

    ....putting my mind at rest.

    Brilliant, thank you Clifford for putting my at rest. My old car would lock up and I thought all manual cars were the same?

    Hi, We live on a relatively steep hill so we always leave the wheel turned to the kerb and the gear in 1st or 2nd with of course with the handbrake on. With my newly acquired manual A3 I parked facing up the hill and noticed it bunny hops backwards. I always thought that when 1st or 2nd gear is engaged they lock the car so if the handbrake failed you were safe. A a test I put the car in 1st gear and released the handbrake and it rolled back again in bunny hops. Is this normal? Thank you

    When the time comes I will put on a set of 'Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance' tyres as I had on my previous car. Never had any issues with them whatsoever 🥇

    The tyres are 205/55 R16. At the back I have 1 x Kumho + 1 x Presa and the same set up at the front, no idea why they were not paired up by the previous owner! I am now going to put the 2 x Kumho at the front and the 2 x Presa at the back. All the tyres are like new:) I have set them all at 30 psi as the previous owner had the rear set at 35 psi. Thanks guys

    Hi Clifford Great idea about the foam piping, I will definitely try this. Hope I didn't sound a bit of a princess 😜 I am sure the car will be fine as I have had a guru friend check it out and he said it is fine, just a different driving experience to what I am used to. Many thanks, Steve

    Hi Gareth, Thank you very much for your reply. For the record I am a comfortable driver and not a speed demon! As you said, the tyres are mixed at the front and back so I will match them to see what happens. A very knowledgable friend has taken the car for a spin and said it is fine and so maybe I just need to get used to it. It feels soft to drive whereas my previous was probably a harder drive with less, shall we say 'sway' 🙂 Once again thank you for taking the time to reply. Best regards, Steve

    Hi, Thank you for accepting me into this forum, this is my first post. I have just purchased a 2008 1.6 A3 and I find the back keeps swinging out/skids when I turn corners as though the car is drunk or I am on thin ice. I have checked the tyre pressures and tread and all is well. Any advice will be much appreciated. Also, are there any rubber or foam pads that fit the centre console as I find my knee keeps on resting on it? Thank you. Steve
