Re: A3 tdi

Thanks Ponto! I was going to get in contact with you coming up either way actually. I think I have the shift knob already?

Link no worky.

And if its the round one with a button up front you do. I know they switched to those in 2011 or 2012 so very possible. But yeah anything you need let me know!

Re: A3 tdi

Oh also, any recommendations for diesel? any brands better than the next? I was filling up yesterday and the diesel would bubble back, like slowly spit up and try to make its way back out. I think it was the nozzle because the spring seemed massive compared to most. I will obviously try a different spot next time, i had to go sooooo slow to fill up so it didnt pour out everywhere.

Re: A3 tdi

Yup you got the updated version!! It's a 100 times better, the previous version was similar to an airplane throttle... massive, side button straight from 1994.

As for Diesel, not my area - I think my dad had good results with Shell, but I will let more people pipe up for that one!

Re: A3 tdi

Re: A3 tdi

Oh as for the slow filling, I know my car had a recall for a fuel vent from before i bought it that might have been related to fill ups... worth checking out with Audi.

Re: A3 tdi

Thanks bud! I'd love to meet up and have a run through of even just the technology in this car. Maybe I'll bring it to coffee next Sunday or something.

Re: A3 tdi

Darn, just found the grille i wanted is only for pre-facelift models :(

I want the full waffle RS mesh grille, no strip. I am only finding 08-11 model versions

It does exist, just expensive and hard to come by... For OEM at least

Re: A3 tdi

Give me a few, I will dig up some options if I can...

Brent does have the all black Euro grill which is nice as well.

That OEM RS3 grill won't fit either. its a few inches taller I think, but I could be wrong. I know for the prefacelift it doesn't fit my bumper.
