You can get this on the new A3 in Belgium...

Sorry for the late reply on this post, I've been away for a while. I have here in front of me the catalogue of Audi Belgium, clearly listing an 1.8T tiptronic and a 1.9 Tdi tiptronic, both in the 100 and 130 hp flavours. However, the 1.8 is only available in the 'normal' auto variant.

What about the suzuki Hayabusa? 150.3Hp for 217 Kg makes 692.6Hp per tonne.

Undertaking is highly illegal in Belgium, although a lot of people do it. A few months ago here in Belgium there was a infamous accident where a guy undertook a woman in a car. She did not see him and crashed into him changing lanes, and was killed. He was convicted for involuntary manslaughter...

relax... A diesel can take it if it's only a little, and besides, the oil sensor will also detect if the oil pressure is too high and give you a fault code then. If there is really too much oil, it will however get past the cylinder ring and get burnt in your cylinder, which is not a good thing at all.

mate of mine has one in the avantgarde trim full option. I'm no mercedes fan but this is a cool car looks nice on the inside, many luxurious options (electric headrests, electric steering wheel adjustment, COMMAND system lets you program just about anything) and it goes very well but it's no sports car. I imagine it has a more "fast but luxurious" feel than yur 330ci, though I have never driven that one.

Well, haven't audi already proven that this is not their first priority? i.e. By not fitting the 150hp TDI engine in the A3 while the VW golf had it?

The VW touareg V10 of course! full option please...

on tdiclub.com you read a lot about americans wanting to import a TDI (that only get the golf tdi 90 hp) but it is next to impossible apparantly. The topic has been discussed to death there...

Another choice would be to buy a LHD S3 as the part would fit on that one

How about earmuffs? sorry about that :-) You have to use the line out of your alpine unit, I have seen posts about caraudiodirect and others selling special looms for that...

Interesting... But I think I can beat you here... My hobbie is R/C cars, so last week I found this audi A4 avant cover. Bought it, popped in at my dealers to purchase a can of denim blue paint. I also traveled 4 hobby stores to find rims that look exactly like my real rims. Obviously, I can't drive this car as I might damage it... So if I can't drive it why did I pay 200£ for an electronic speed controller and the most powerfull engine I could find? Because the audi must be the fastest of course, even if I will never drive it So what do you think, do I win?

[ QUOTE ] yeah a lupo diesel [/ QUOTE ] May I kindly point out that for the Lupo the diesels are exactly as powerfull as the petrol models, thus a more enjoyable drive. Thank you for your attention, I will run back to the oil burners forum now

In Belgium, the audi dealers will do it for you. Mate of mine had it done on an A3 for about 200£, but I've heard of places doing it for around 120-130£. If you are somewhat technical you can also do it yourself: check out http://www.gute-fahrt.de/gf/bauplan/bau_bestell_0298.html , it seems you can download a detailed building plan for 1,50€ there. iirc the stalk+wiring was about 80£.

My lease company only provides one set (=4) tyres each 40,000 Km and I recon that's the same for all. So it seems you guys must be driving pedal to the metal all the time...

Ok, so I may be a little biased since i've been driving diesels for 5 years now, but I must say I drove the 3.0 Quattro and a 2.5 TDI Quattro 180 and I must say I liked the Diesel better. the 3.0 does not really feel any sportier and the 2.5 TDI is definitely better on reprisals (? is that the correct word?). I must be honest, the diesel was a manual and the 3.0 a tiptronic...

Why would a turbo FSI engine not be possible? Does TDI ring a bell?

Don't forget to check out number 6 in the Diesel class 7 100-150 Hp, because that would be me! chalk one up for the oil burners!

Here in Belgium the chrome around the windows and the chrome roof rails are actually an option, and a quite expensive one too (About 400£ for the windows, 150£ for the roof rails).

Have you tried your spare key?

Once you have opened the doors, the windows won't operate any more, thus I think once you open the door the window switches will go out as well? This would be the exact opposite of your intention...

Well, some golden advice from aunt katie (Blue is probably the only one who is going to get this one...): Firstly, do this ASAP, the longer the spot is there the more it is going to settle how to remove stains from leather: First, remove a much as possible using luke-warm water and a make-up-remover-pad. Don't use too much water or it will stain the leather with water-spots. To remove the fat in the spot, use chalk-powder (the kind you use on baby's behinds, don't know the word in English). Gently apply, lightly rub it in and leave in on the spot for a few days. After that, gently remove. Alternatively, There are special stain removers for leather, but be sure to use the correct one or you could make it worse, so go to a specialised store that can give you professional advice! Use little product and re-apply frequently instead of using more product. DON'T rub, just gently apply product and remove. That being said, curry is probably the most difficult of all spots to remove, it even used to be used as a colorant in the old days...

Maybe i'm just ignorant, but why use a passive crossover when you can just tap into the sub output of the headunit to the amplifier? or is there no such output and does the Bose amplifier incorporate a crossover? Anyways, I find that crossovers usually give rather muddy bass while a subwoofer output from a headunit usually gives much crisper bass...
