Bought a set of OEM 18"ers for $600 on Craigslist and put on a set of Dunlop 3D Winter Sports in 225/45R18 - figured narrower is better traction in Winter. The ride is a bit louder than the summers,...

Yessir, it was on "Auto" on the A3, as well. Sorry for the possible noob question, but is "Auto" not the desired way of operation?

A/C temperature fluctuations - normal?

Wanted to confirm whether this is a design flaw or an actual defect with my car. On my A3, I'd set the temperature to 72 degrees and the car would do the "right thing" to keep me comfortable. On the...

Dr Chill: that's good info indeed. The dealership now has my car listed at $19,800. I now definitely feel ripped off.

Will 17" 245/45/17 rims from 2010 A4 fit?

Picked up a 2012 S4 yesterday and am starting to look for winter wheels. Came across a set of A4 wheels for $700 but am wondering if 17" wheels fit over the calipers. How can I find out?

That's an interesting idea. Unfortunately, the next CarMax is about 100 miles away. Is there any other chain of places you recommend for this?

I use the Escort 8500 X50 in two cars

Costs $250 online and works pretty well for me, although it would sometimes be nice to have bought the V1. This does the trick. Don't really get much false positives and haven't gotten a ticket since...
