LOL

Definitely some great questions. The answer to one might save some embarrassment later on the street.

Cheers!

 

So I guess you got tired of me PM you with all noob questions, hey?

Thanks Chef! (you have to say this the South Park way with a little bit of irony in it)

On a serious note, I would add link to website for Audi accessories, upgrades, etc.I know there is a section but it is not really easy to find stuff or updated. And I would love to start the DSG vs. Manual thread.......

Added:
If you are going to talk about the S3, then why not the TDI and convertible??? But isn’t that the rumor section?
I am guessing that most people are always wandering about the warranty issue when modding. Something that has also being discussed is the maintenance program that Audi has: 5K, 15K, 25K… You may also want to add links to the DIY section: de-badging, how to detail your car, etc…

Added again:
Apaprently the DSG vs. manual is going to get a little tougher that now VW is going to debut the 7 speed box...

I don't have any problem answering questions for Audi enthusiasts. It's just that the same questions keep popping up again and again, and I'd like to make a quick and easy referrence for the most popular items. Hopefully we can add to those threads and make them better as well.

I think we need a separate thread for the DIY items. That can be added later.

Cheers!

 

LoL some of those posts were started by me, does that make me a total noob or what [8D][8D][8D]

P.S. I think some of the links are screwy. These are mashed together for some reason:

Chip for the A3 3.2L
What tires fit the A3, including offset?
What are the best CAI, and definitiion?

and these:

Why does my A3 use oil?
Will my chipped A3 beat an EVO?

Your chipped A3 will beat an EVO when you are smoking whatever odroggy is.

 

odroggy, was that the list of recommended websites or just your mod list so you can beat your Evo friend?
