The passenger door has the same bung as yours, ie, a little picture of a lock, however what's behind it is the same as the driver's side :(

Is yours a 5 door? That's the only thing i can think as to why it's different

Yes it's an 8p. 2005 plate!

Just popped off the smaller one and there's no flat slot there, just what appears to be a tab for a connection of some kind.

Hmm okay, I pulled that one off too and whilst only had a quick glance there only looked to be some kind of electrical connection. Will have another look when I next go out. Cheers!

Thanks for that, I've just had a look, removed the larger bung above the latch but I think it was just a normal Torx screw behind it, and not anything for adjustment ? Tried turning it anti-clockwise and it just loosened a bit and the door still shut the same, tightened it back up and nipped it...

Hi all, I'm trying to get my driver's door to shut tighter, but I can't see to adjust the door strike plate, I undo the bolts move the plate over but when I tighten the bolts back up it just goes back to it's original position, am I being really stupid here or what?! Thanks

Anyone?

No I haven't - but don't suppose you've had any leaks or got it wet at all?

It's under the passenger footwell I believe!

Yes not really a guide though!

The problem happened middle of last winter, i assumed either sunroof drain or plenum chamber was blocked, I cleared both, but the water lingered for weeks/months, as it never got chance to dry out. The car is now finally dry, but was still damp a week or two ago and the taste was the same as the...

I suspect I've a blocked heater matrix, which was causing leaks during winter. Passenger footwell had water with a bitter taste of antifreeze. Question is how easy is it to replace the heater matrix on an A3 8P? Some say the whole dash needs to come out, others say you can access it from the...

Haha well I needed to know whether it was rain water or something else! At least now I know it's screen wash, I literally just touched the end of my finger on my tongue, that bitrex stuff is VILE. I'm still not quite sure as to where to start looking :/

So I've had a leak over winter and I thought it was rain water, I topped up the screen wash last week and noticed today that the rear passenger footwell was soaking wet, pressed my finger into the carpet and put it on my tongue...ughhhh...disgusting, guess it was the Bitrex in the screen wash...
