I plan to do several retrofits where new sensors WHT 003 864 B are required, so I bought them some time ago. The only difference is that they send ± values depending on the direction, not just a number. Installation is fairly easy if you have a pit garage or access to a car lift. You don’t even nee ...

I keep buying random stuff from AliExpress and Allegro. It’s already a year since I installed the TT steering wheel with Nappa leather and perforation, and I wanted a similar DSG handle. Asian part number of it is 8VD 713 139 IBR, and I didn’t find a direct match in European ETKA. All the Audi A3 nu ...

Skoda made a nice gift to the VAG community one more time. The lid fits perfectly fine to any VAG model. It has two partnumbers, brand’s personal is 6V0 955 485 and unified is 000 096 706, which (strangely) is a bit cheaper. ...

I have long been upset by the lack of an armrest in the back seat. I bought my car as a pre-configured pack by the dealership itself, so there was no choice. I saw this bag in the Audi Original Accessories catalog and recently found it in a local store. The bag is made of fabric with hard embossed ...

The pipe from the glove box to the air conditioner is a feature Audi lacks (for no reason), but every other VAG brand has. I did this mod right before the summer vacation, it is very easy and takes less than an hour. Parts 5G1 816 311 A — pipe, $105E0 816 355 9B9 — valve, $6 Installation I used thi ...

The first time I accidentally bought a borderless mirror from VW Passat/Tiguan, but its arm is different and can’t be covered by a plastic cap from Audi. Many guys still install them by replacing both parts and caps. The shapes of the mirror for the A3 and Passat are also slightly different – ...

My biggest retrofit so far. It took me almost a year to collect the parts. I was installing first generation of the system (native for my car). 2nd generation uses new Bosch radars with new cross traffic monitoring, but they need some extra adapters to fasten them to the old bumper. Parts 5Q0 907 5 ...

This option is useless on hatchback cars unless you plan to add an electrically operated tailgate (as I do). A3 Sedans have springs to push the lid up when the lock is opened, but Sportback just unlocks it and nothing more happens. Sedan door panels also have a stamp for the trim, but on a hatchback ...

The series of 4 posts about interior upgrades starts here. Initially, I wanted to upgrade my handles to similar illuminated versions, but the price of the RS3 handles differs by only ~20%, and I decided to go that way. They are going to be a perfect match with the TT steering wheel. Regular handles ...

The car comes from the factory with Bosch AeroTwin wipers supplied as OEM parts. The only real difference is the absence of white Bosch logos on the tips. But the price difference between Audi catalog numbers is more than twice. Length Front wipers: 650mm + 450mm Rear wiper: 330mm (340-345mm fits ...
