AZURES3 Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Guys Checking the oil etc this morning and noticed a threaded area that looks quite clean, it is infront of the battery housing in the pictures below and circled. Just worried that they forgot to put something back when they were trying to find the fault with my car a few months back. Please advise if this bit is a threaded hole too please.

AZURES3 Posted June 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Zoomed out a little to show actual location a bit better Must be to bolt the extra turbo on for the RS3 if the other cars are empty too AZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZURES3 Posted June 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Back ? I am guessing some enhancements rather than in for repair ? AZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZURES3 Posted June 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 What happened ? AZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shao_khan Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 A few things, nowt serious - the cables that go up into the drivers seat hang down loose - and I noticed it is actuallly split and can see bare wires. GSM antenna on the roof - mine is matt black not gloss black so nothing serious - although I guess now a dealer has it then it will probably get worse.

AZURES3 Posted June 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 I will check under my seat. I could be wrong but I thought all the Antena were matt black regardless of the car colour ? AZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevie_d Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 I think it maybe a housing for a larger battery in the diesel versions? No idea if this is true, but sounds a sensible suggestion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnS3 Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 I don't know why audi didn't make the sharkfin in the body colour as per the S6. Looks far better. But I guess from your point of view it is in the body colour!! Regards, John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
