It didn’t need any specific coding, I just needed to set the correct vehicle type in the RSNav settings after doing the first firmware update. Once that was set the camera comes on instantly in...

I have the 12.1” RSNav in my RS3.

I bought it for wireless CarPlay rather than Android Auto, so can’t speak to that side of things, but its operation has been flawless. The software update process...

I’m pretty sure this can be disabled with VCDS or OBD11, if you have access to either of those tools.



It may seem counter intuitive, but leave the keys in the car in this situation. The car...

The screen fits into the dash space where the factory retractable screen is removed.

The only irreversible aspect of my install was that I drilled a hole in the top of the glovebox to allow more...

Somewhat of a thread resurrection - I installed a new Series 3 RSNav unit in my RS3 this week and it's very impressive.

The installation was fairly straight forward for anyone familiar with the...

In my opinion (as a former C7 RS6 owner) the new generation Audi interiors (for example the C8 range, facelifted Q7 & Q8) really lift the game to a new level with the full touchscreen interface and...

From memory lane assist, blind spot assist and adaptive (radar) cruise were bundled in the Assistance Pack so having one should mean having the other.

Externally the changes are the radar sensor...

The first car is from the type of dealership who, in my opinion, are just using Carsales because they have to. They don't list any details of the car itself in the ad, just some crap about how...

We've had our MY16 PFL since new, and my own perspective is that there wasn't (and still isn't) enough in the FL to justify upgrading to the newer car.

The virtual cockpit is significantly better...

The PFL steering wheel has a single programmable button (the * button). You can program that to be the next track button for the stereo, which will skip to the next track when playing via Bluetooth....

I've pulled some data from Carsales just for curiosity, based on current RS3 sales listings. There are 117 RS3s for sale at the moment, covering both used cars and listed dealer stock, 48 PFL and 69...

I don't think things will be returning to 'normal' for quite some time. I can't see demand for new cars (and thus the supply of used cars as people trade-in or sell privately) suddenly restoring to...

Apparently at this time of the year Carsales.com.au typically lists around 200,000 used and demo vehicles for sale. At the moment they've got around 110,000.

Covid has certainly changed the car...

I don't know exact figures, but the early L140 Gallardo (03-06) were both in the SEVS scheme and in the early 2010s when the AUD was quite high against the GBP there were a few companies bringing...

Unfortunately I only have the workshop manual for the LP550, not for the earlier car. It does look like the L140 manual is online though - try...

The C6 RS6 has a 5.0L V10, not a 5.2L. The S6 and S8 had the naturally aspirated 5.2L V10. Here's a copy of Audi's specs brochure for the 2008 RS6 confirming that specification -...

I’m fairly sure the Gallardo and R8 AWD systems were the same - there are plenty of companies selling conversion kits that fit both models. For example - https://youtu.be/vtXliZ9S3cs using the kit...

I had both generations of Gallardo - an 2005 5.0 L140 and a 2010 Balboni LP550-2 with the direct injection 5.2L.

The AWD system in the Gallardo is the same as the R8. It’s a proper rear-biased...

The only issues we had with our SQ5 TDI was the sunroof. We had the known issues with it creaking which were resolved by the dealer applying some grease in the runners, and a more serious issue...

For what it's worth, most of the boat 'sharing' schemes I've been around (and indeed aircraft sharing as well) are fractional ownership schemes where each member buys an equal (and significant) share...

Post and courier services are jobs that seem pretty easy to do right and yet it’s amazing that so many local companies screw it up so badly.

I have many bad stories but the worst automotive one is...

Spacers have been taken, thanks all.

I’m cleaning up the garage and have found a set of 42DD 8mm hubcentric spacers with extended wheel bolts I no longer need.

I used them for about 3000kms to run a set of TTRS wheels on a VW Beetle,...

Northside Euros organised it for me so not sure sorry. If you know Gareth or Reece I’m sure if you give them a bell they can let you know who they used, or if not I’ll ask them next time I see them...

We had the front rotors of our C7 RS6 machined in Canberra. First attempt by a brake “specialist” left them out of balance, but we ended up having them done by a qualified fitter & turner and they...
