Greetings to all,

I am still adjusting to my new 2005 Audi A3 2.0 FSi Sport, which I recently bought. It is my first car with heated seats, and it is absolutely lovely. I had a conversation with Trups today about upgrading the headlights and fog lights.

Trups is an excellent light technician and a pleasure to work with. Coincidentally, I placed another order with him this week for the LED number plate light kits.

last Saturday, I had new gearbox oil added, a new clutch, flywheel, bell housing, and o ring installed. Since the previous clutch was so worn out, the A3 is a joy to drive.

Once again, a fantastic job by the Audi Volks team in Whetstone, North London, led by Steve and Alex. Both prop shafts had to be removed, along with the battery, air box, and throttle body. It took two people to separate the gear box from the engine; the job was heavy. A ramp is a must-have for this task. Now that it has a new clutch, the A3 drives superbly.

In this video, Ash from Audi Retrofits shows how he upgraded and repaired my 19-year-old A3.
