Audi A3 parts reviews

Castrol works fine.

Goodyear band Efficient Grip Performance 2 are the tires installed.

Almost 20000 a year in all weather conditions, very good mileage and no tire noise.

I think the tires are named as a summer tire but they have excellent grip!

Especially in the rain soooo a perfect tire for driving in Belgium.

Drilled Brembo max rotors and Brembo pads

Champion works best for me

MANN is more popular but costs almost double and has no extra benefits

You can find Mobil 1 esp at most local car parts stores and you won’t have to ship. 0w30 or 5w30, double check it’s VW 507.00 on the back. I think my advanced auto parts down the street had the correct Mann oil filter in stock too.

120k miles on my 2015 a3 with a stage 1 tune. I did timing belt, tensioner, and water pump around 100k miles. Costed me like $1k. Also did spark plugs and a new battery, which was another $600.

Carbon cleaning, water pump replacement, possibly turbo replacement, timing chain, and dsg service are large ones over 100k miles. Those are issues I've had with my a3 with the 2.0t with over 138k miles.

Had Michelin X-ice on my A3, didn’t like them in snow over 3”. Switched to Nokian hakkas, much better in snow but a lot noisier.

I've had my 2006 Audi a3 3.2 quattro dsg for 5 years now, and every year or so I will have an issue with a misfire on cylinder 6. It is always cylinder 6. I use the recommended NKG IZKR7B(7563) plugs. I often find that the cylinder 6 plug has a crack on the ceramic insulator around the electrode. On one of the plugs, half of the insulator is missing. Replacing the plug always fixes the misfire. I also noticed most recently when I removed the damaged plug, it was very hard to turn and some of the aluminum from the head has fused to the threads, leading me to believe that the cylinder is getting too hot.

I installed new BOSCH FPR yesterday and it did not change a thing) Plus I don't have any lean or rich codes and the car misfires even at lambda 1(14.7 AFR)...
