I currently own an Audi A3 (8p) 2l tfsi. I’m just wondering how much it will roughly cost for a conversation to awd and if so any company’s that can do it

More than it would cost to sell your car and buy an Audi A3 with AWD I bet.

I want to know more about this limited edition of which there are only 30! What is it and how does it differ from any other A3?

Why do you want AWD by the way? I would stick with FWD.

It'll be thousands. Just think of all the bits you need... gearbox, diff, drive shafts, hubs, suspension, modification to the wiring, chassis mods?

No one really offers this conversion as Audi will sell you one! That's not to say that a VAG specialist wouldn't take the job on if your pockets are deep enough....get on the phone if you are serious (I bet you don't get it done!)

If you modify it it will no longer be one of 30 and will no longer be desirable in the way you regard it at present.

Im also interested, in what way is it a limited edition?

Also it will be much cheaper to just part exchange it for a Quattro model, or even an S3…

Loads of people have converted fwd VW/Audi's to 4wd using a range of off-the-shelf VW parts from their 4wd models. The issue is that it's a long, difficult job (and generally involves cutting the shell, which means SVA/IVA in the UK), so if you get someone to do it for you, expect to pay lot of money. (and there is no way of telling how good a job they are going to do, cheap = sh*t usually).

Also, the issue is that as a VAG, the engine is way out front, so the 4wd system really only helps with traction and not handling
