  1. So we picked up the wife's A3 at the Goldy yesterday (came up from Melb by truck), & did all the req'd crap to get it registered. (Who new a set of Euro plates cost $400 :O What a rip off!)

    The RACV report we got before buying the vehicle said the car was due for a service so I had a look in the log book. Impressively the service intervals are at 15,000kms (typical of a lot of vehicles, I know) & so I was expecting the last service to have been done ~15K ago. But no, the car totally missed the last service so it's nearly 30K since it's last oil change!!!

    Furthermore, it looks like the service it missed was a bigish one, with all the engine belts needing to be changed. Grrr.

    Since this is the recipe thread, I'm thinking of developing a recipe for broiled car salesman. Guaranteed to leave a bad taste in your mouth, lol.

    car salesmen cant be trusted!!

    I would be sending the car back

  2. i had one that stopped working. it required a motor replacement.

    if you get stuck,inside the tailgate there is a small access panel. remove the cover and flick the switch up to unlockthe tailgate. its the manual catch.

    if it turns out you need a new tailgate motor i have 2 working ones

  3. i got a 2nd hand superchips bluefin for $550. they offer a stage 1 (no supporting mods required) which does 54NMs more and 41HP. stage two can offer half again as much, but need fuel pump, dump pipe and intake. took 3 mins to reflash via a hand controller. ive done no other performance mods to the car. only HID conversion ($2.5k for HID pffft) and a fully integrated ipod interface to the satnav system.

    leon, your wifes A3 if its more than 3 years old can do a remap via the consult, however all the new diesels (like andys) need to have the ECU removed and perform a bench flash.

    i get boost from about 1500rpm and it wheel spins in the dry around 3k into 2nd gear. wet weather, forget about it. however this is a FWD car :( but it handles VERY well for an ass dragger. the sydney people will see it next weekend if they come to the meet
