I own a 2008 Audi A3 and for the past year and my car's idle seems a little rough. I can feel my car shake when sitting in my car. My Audi A3 has 60.000 kilometers on it. A few weeks ago I replaced the pcv valve but it didn't change anything. The idle is still a little rough. What I should check next?

Also can the dashboard card tray be modified into a cupholder? Is there a kit she can use? She's used to cupholders in vehicles so perhaps she's a little spoiled now. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

I noticed the 1999 Audi A3 doesn't have any place to put a drink. My friend would like to add a cupholder but the center console seems a little different than the norm so she's not sure a cupholder will fit. Can she add a cupholder?

The front windshield wipers on my Audi 2007 A3 no longer work. I checked the rear wiper and the sprayer nozzles and they work well. I also checked the fuses and they are fine too. When I move the wiper switch to the on position nothing happens. Over the past few months, after turning off my car, I've noticed the wipers slightly move as if they are trying to reset themselves. I've tried everything. How can I fix this problem? Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.

The fog light lenses on my Audi A3 are cloudy. I really don't want to purchase the entire assembly so I hope I can just pop the lenses off and replace them. Can I replace the lenses or do I have to purchase the entire assembly?

My 2006 GS430 often stays in my garage. Recently I noticed the rearview mirror is discolored. I also noticed in places, the mirror's coating is coming off. When I clean the rearview mirror, I use a damp microfiber rag and I never use any chemicals. Am I cleaning the mirror using the wrong products? Is this a common problem? Has this happen to anyone else?

Also, does the GS350 have a lot of trunk space? I'd like to take weekend car trips so I'd like enough room to store a few duffel bags and baby gear. Is there enough room in the GS350 to store those items? The most important thing is having enough room in the back for a baby seat. Would you choose the GS350 or another model?

I'd like to buy a midsize luxury vehicle. The Lexus IS was a little too small. I take excellent care of my vehicles and often keep them at least 10 years. I just found out I'm pregnant. Rear facing seats take up a lot of room so a 4 door with room is definitely a must have. I searched Google and the forum. I couldn't find any common issues with these vehicles. Lexus GS350s are priced in budget. After researching, I think the Lexus GS350 best fits my needs. Are there any other midsize cars I should take a look at?

Also, are there any issues with the black paint? My first car was black. I constantly polished, waxed and sealed it -- it took a lot of work so I thought I would never buy another black vehicle. I'd like to purchase a black GS350. Black looks so nice especially on the GS models.

Within the next few weeks, I'd like to purchase a black 2007 or 2009 GS350. I have a few questions before I buy one. Also, I'd like to modify the GS350 by lowering it. It's the only modification I plan on making. I know Lexus cars are very reliable so I'm not very worried about that. How many kilometers are too many kilometers? I always maintain my vehicles very well and they last a long time. I already have a car in mind so I'm trying to find out how well the previous owners maintained it. Also, I'm trying to find out as much as I can about the GS350's service records. Are there any known issues I should look out for in these cars?

I have a 2004 FX35 AWD with almost 60.000 kilometers on it. Recently my car's transmission isn't shifting smoothly. When I shift from 1 to 3, it seems to delay a bit but it's very smooth when shifting from 3 to 5. In stop and go traffic, shifting from 1 to 2 and 2 to 1 is rough. Has anyone else had a similar experience? How can I fix this problem?

Also, can I replace the leather on the top and bottom parts of the steering wheel instead of replacing the entire wheel? I hope I can get an answer here or over the phone because I don't live near the dealership. Thanks in advance for your input!

I own a 2009 FX35. I take excellent care of my car and it's spotless except for the steering wheel. My FX-35 has under 15.000 kilometers on it but it's showing signs of wear and tear. The wear and tear is is noticeable and I don't want it to ruin the look of my interior. Is this a common problem?

How can I use the manual control option on my 2005 Infiniti FX-35 without destroying the transmission? I recently discovered my car has the option for manual control. I've searched everywhere but I can't find any information on how to use it. Is there a button or something else I can push?

Also, can I purchase another transponder key online or do I have to visit the dealership? I can imagine fob transponder keys cost more than standard keys.
