was about to get my 1.8tfsi booked in to have the tensioner and chain done, but of course it decided to go before then with no warning at all. Engine just about still runs, but starts shaking uncontrollably after about 2k revs and exhaust is popping. Guessing it’s skipped a few teeth after the...

Thanks for the reply, is it possible it’s to do with the wiring of the sensor or do the faults suggest it’s more likely the sensor / ring

had the car scanned after getting ABS and headlight levelling fault (both come and go at the exact same time). noticed a defective fault under instruments? And also abs module is mentioned under Address 55: Headlight Range, how can these have anything to do with each other? just wondering if...

Are the 643 relays you mentioned actually on the ECU? And is this likely to be the same for an A3 of similar year

Been having these 2 faults come up as per my previous post, both come and go at the same time so are definitely linked somehow. had a scan done which I’ll post below. I’m confused as to weather it points towards the instrument cluster being an issue as there’s multiple “Control Module in...

Hi mate have had a scan down, will paste it below. There’s a load on there as I don’t think any of its been cleared recently. Any idea? It’s only the abs and headlight range control I’m getting faults for, everything else seems fine. Thanks! Chassis Type: 8P-AU35 (7N0) Scan: 01 03 08 09 10...

Did you get yours scanned yet or no? Will update once I have

I’ll get a scan done and see what I can see, cheers for reply!

I’ve been getting these ESP/ABS + headlight levelling faults randomly on my 2010 a3 with HIDs, sometimes it’ll only stay on for a few seconds then go. But both faults come on and go away at exactly the same time what could be causing both of them to go at once? And help really appreciated !

I currently have a 2009 A3 2.0 tdi on 152k, I’m mainly doing city driving with a 400 mile round trip 7/8 times a year, so a bit worried about the dpf. Only getting about 37mpg. need a decent mpg as I’m at uni but also want something that’s not slow. would it be worth swapping to a 1.8 TFSI for...

Thanks, would you say it’s fair to ask the mapper to look at it again for me without a full charge? I feel like paying in full again for something the map has potentially caused is a bit much

That’s exactly what my guy said to me, but I’ve read that it can cause dpf issues which it seems to in my case. Was yours Bristol or no?

Thanks, considering it but the mapper wants to charge me again to look at or change the map as he said the dpf light coming on is unrelated

i can’t see any option to PM mate but it was done in Bristol, I managed to clear my dpf fault by taking it on the motorway and using some cleaner, but if it comes back again I know I’ve got an issue. And as your in the same boat I feel pretty certain it’s linked with having the car mapped / Egr...
