    Dent removal, how small?

    I keep my MS3 in a garage at home and in covered parking at work. I always park to minimize the chance of jack asses opening their doors into my car. Alas it happened anyway. My question is, can those places that remove dents remove really small dents? You know, the ones that aren't that obvious...

    replacing brakes

    That's good news that you can do them yourselves. Dropping $300 or whatever the dealer wants is a good way to go broke fast. I'll poke around of course, but are there any quick links for the procedure?

    I did the same thing with email. Made the whole process painless. In and out of the dealership in an hour.

    Man, that's depressing. Sorry that happened to you! You should list those pictures as "NSFW" =(.

    Is This Possible - EZ Bose Upgrade?

    I just wanted to add that running power from battery to inside the car is not really a big deal. Using the rubber boot that's found on the passenger side of the engine compartment is really straight forward. With the glove box removed, it's easy to get a hold of the power wire once you push it...

    Does replacing your own break pads void the warranty?

    2008 MS3 Audio System

    Interesting idea! Do you need to worry about flex with the cardboard, or does the cylinder shape help with that? Seems like this design would be a really construction method especially when getting the inner volume correct.

    2008 MS3 Audio System

    I'd have to agree. I have the stock head unit running into an Alpine PXE-H650 (http://www.alpine-usa.com/US-en/products/product.php?model=PXE-H650) and an Alpine PDX-4.150, MB Quart QSC-216 6.5" components and a Polk 10in SR series sub in the trunk and the sound is clean and tight. Easily sounds...

    Air conditioner compressor and automatic climate control

    Sorry if this post is out of place, but I didn't find a suitable forum. Any time I turn on my automatic climate control, the A/C button lights up. My question is this: Is the compressor actually running? I'm concerned about the reduced fuel economy if it is. I of course understand that it...

    First oil change on MS3

    I bought my MS3 in October it currently has just over 1000 miles on it. I just got a notice in the mail that it's recommended to change the oil every 3750 miles or every 3 months. Is this necessary? If not when would you guys recommend changing the oil? Thanks!

    Water shield ideas for speaker install?

    I recently replaced the stock 5x7s in the front door with 6.5 in speakers. I was wondering if anyone has ideas on how to make water shields so water in the door panel won't ruin the speakers? Thanks!
