    A3 Fule filter change?

    If I can, I am going to try to change my fuel filter before I drive home 450 miles. Since I am flying down, I'd like to know what I need for filters and tools. The TM says 'change it' and gives instructions on priming in section 3, but I need to know what tools, etc, because I am going to be...

    well, finally going to attempt the recovery this weekend with my son. got 7 395's mounted up on it. tires to 55PSI. got to tie off the soft top, which flaps like mad in the back at speeds over 40 going to do a fuel filter change before driving it home. Also plan on keeping the tank 1/2 full...

    Changing tire on A3?

    That's why I didn't want to be without a spare, and I will have some $ if I need the tire changed if it proves necessary. Thanks for sharing your experience. I am hoping there will be NO blowing snow!

    Changing tire on A3?

    I planned on 55PSI, and didn't want to chance a 450 mile trip without a spare, so I was trying to get the system as close to 'possibly functioning' as possible. I'm also not looking forward to trying to wrestle a 380 pound wheel and tire out of my 109's box if I need to change a tire, but that...

    Just called him, and he was very helpful. He's going to his 'box of CTIS parts' to see if he has what I need. Fingers crossed.....REALLY want to get my hands on my truck...so the money can really start flying out of my wallet :)

    Changing tire on A3?

    Does that have the line too? It just shows the valve in the picture and description, and there was only an answering machine when I called :(

    Changing tire on A3?

    IN section 3-9 of that TM< there is an illustration of the CTIS valve, with a short line between the valve and the tire. Does anyone know where a line and nut set can be obtained? I have one with a crack. If it splits, I am out of luck. This isn't the one you have to take off to get the...

    is that all? Don't you need a 1.5" impact socket just to get the wheels off?

    Multifuel Automatic Transmisson?

    I can say for a fact that I wish my Allison automatic was an OD unit, even after only 50 miles of driving my A3 :)

    Changing tire on A3?

    Sorry for the obvious question, but I am on my phone and can't search a TM. What tool is needed to get the spare tire on an A3 down? No tool kit in mine :( The tire company says they can't do anything without the tool.

    Gov. Liq. questian

    or title AND SF97. Out of curiosity, when I bought my truck in MD, I skipped out on the MD taxes (didn't know I'd owed them) and paid my sales tax on it when I registered it in my home state of Taxachusetts. Am I now considered a scourge and tax scofflaw? Is MD going to send me a bill?
