Nice What's a good method to getting the inside windows super clean?

Windowlene and scrunched-up newspaper. Careful of the upholstery though (with the ink).

You could try Windowlene with a microfibre cloth too I reckon.

How long do Audi shocks last generally?

Not sure, but the dude in the workshop I spoke to said they never had to replace any shocks under 100,000km when I was asking about mine having done only 55,000km. What's your mileage?

Since I've replaced my tyres, the car feels much better and I'm not concerned with replacing my shocks any longer.

I use Meguiars Perfect Clairty Glass Cleaner inside and out. You've never seen cleaner, clearer glass than after using a few sprays. Quick and easy with little mess or fuss.

Same as everyone else's shocks.

Depends how you drive.

Available at brick and mortar retail outlets?

Makro. Cheaper than that site.

I see no reason to stop using Windowlene. I have several Meguiar's products, but won't be adding this to my kit.

My windscreen is covered in little specs of something. Massively annoying but only visible on those early mornings when the low lying sun is shining into the vehicle.

Checked the trees you're parking under? Any specs on the paintwork?

145 000 KMs.... Took it for a test at TyreMart and the report said the front shocks must be replaced. I dont know how accurate their machine is.

That sounds like "sand blasting".

It's parked in a garage 90% of the time!

Not sure what has caused it. Paintwork doesn't appear to be effected.

Do you do a lot of highway driving?

Did you have any repair work done at panel beater. My previous car had repairs done but they were careless when spraying the clear coat and the fine residue got onto the windscreen which you only saw early morning or late evening. Needless to say, they had to replace the windscreen.

Actually I'm a bit scared to confess to you lot when I first noticed it....

Hello All,

Does anyone here know the cost to service an Audi A3 by the agents after the 5 year motorplan expires?
At the 6th Year, probably looking at the car with around 70k km.

Thanks
