So MOT failure today and a broken rear spring. Looking around and checking other threads, i've found it difficult to ascertain if a standard rear spring would fit a 1.8T "Sport" . My guess it would but it would be 10mm higher than the right spring for the "Sport" model. VW parts are cheaper...

Thanks moredoor for the quick reply. just what i needed.

The time has come to replace my n/s rear wheel bearing on my A3. Having read through the ever informative Haynes manual there's no mention of hub nut torque setting and nut size needed for my wrench. Anybody know what they might be?? has anybody come across and step by step guides on previous...

Have you checked for splits in the PCV pipework? I had similar issues and has helped solve some of the problem.

R-Techh are based Hinckley, Leicestershire.

when i try to read the ABS codes i now get a warning on my VAGCOM "too many communication errors" which is bewildering me. I do get idleing issues from time to time, which may be related? I have done a DIY repair on my PCV system as i had some of the normal splits and the engine fault codes have...
