My wife's STD Audi A3 1.8T sport is doing the same thing. I've cleaned the TB and check for and split pipes, it's just had a new thermostat. When you say you've changed the dipstick is that because the orange housing had snapped? The dipstick housing has snapped on my wife's car but it's still...

Not sorted... She went to go to work and it didn't start and no buzz from the pump again, so I swayed the relay for my ibiza and still nothing. So I pulled up the carpet and took the cover off the pump and tapped it then tryed and it started again. So it is the pump that's sticking. I have my...

Bump !

My wife has a 2001 A3 1.8T quattro. It has now blown two fuel pump relays in the last month. The car is standard and she has had it for a year with no other real problems. Any idea what could be causing this to happen?

I've sorted it. I borrowed a fuel pump relay and swapped them over and now I can hear the pump on the first click of the key and it starts/runs fine now. Cheers for all your help people.

Off the top of my head I think its around the 60k miles, the car is std. She has had it about a year and we haven't changed the fuel pump, I tryed giving it a tap with no luck but that was through the carpet has I didn't have much time this morning. I will try the relay out of my ibiza 1.8T...

Very good point, I've just checked and there is no buzz like you would normally get and i just double checked against my Seat ibiza 1.8T and you can def hear it in that car. Could this be a relay or fuse maybe?

My wifes A3 1.8t sport quattro ARY engine turns over but will not start. I've ran VAG-COM and there are no fault codes in engine or immobilizer. She has been driving it round with no problems till tonight and hasn't put fuel in for a few days so it can't be the old diesel slip up. I've had a...

That looks spot on thanks. I'll give it ago, cheers for the fitting tips aswell. I'll post up when i've done it and if i remember i'll do a fitting guide for others.

I've just taken the door card off and noticed the cable had snapped, so my question now is... Is it possible to change just the wire or do i need to buy the whole window reg at £90?

My wires A3 1.8t quottro driver window has stopped working. She went to open it when it was frozen and now it does nothing when you press down and just buzzes for a few seconds then stops when you press up. I think the window has come out the runners maybe. So how can I take the door card off to...

ok it happened again this morning. car started and got to the shops then wouldn't re starts.so she cleared the fault code and it still won't start but turns over fine and it was the same code. could it be the battery? it does turn over strongly so maybe not. I am baffled by this and we need to...

The car completely standard. I've now taught the wife how to use vag com and she now has to carry the laptop with her all the time.

the car turned over fine for a while and the battery didn't seem to dip in power. It could be a the wires but odd that it would just do that. The car isn't modded and has been fine.

I've now managed to run a scan and it came up with "engine control module incorrecly coded" I cleared it and now the car starts with no code coming back BUT why did this happen and it's worrying that it could happen again at any time.
