I've got a faulty 'Central locking Pump' on my A3 1.6se (year 2000), the part number on the base is 8LO 862 257 P. I've sourced one that looks identical and has a similar part number 8DO 862 257 E. Can anybody tell me if this part will do? Also do I need to have access to Vagcom when I...

I've had no problems with the central locking until this morning. The car opened fine and when I got to where I was going it wouldn't lock. It's got factory fitted remote central locking. I thought it may have been the battery in the key fob but I've tried the spare key fob and also tried...

As mentioned above this can be activated/deactivated via vag-com. Maybe there's somebody near you with access to it? Anybody near Fife who can help????

Fit the spoiler without a doubt. Leave wiper. I don't think you'd have any probs with the plates. Top car!

Surely a black bra on your car would make it look like a banana thats been in the fruit bowl a little too long??

£54 is a joke mate..........there are loads of places nowadays decoding them. Average cost near me is around £15 - £20. Try ringing a few places out of the yellow pages, normally auto-electricians and if they don't do it I'm sure they'll know someone who will.

[ QUOTE ] how long have i got till they have to be replaced [/ QUOTE ] Depends on how you drive i.e how often and how hard you brake. I'd say if the warning light is on now then don't wait around just get them changed. If the light has recently come on theres no panic but you run the risk of...

banana skin??

Indicator relay is a common fault mate, I had to replace mine too. Bad luck that you've had the same fault twice though!

Back to the main topic. As I mentioned earlier I reckon the pictures of the two cars shown above have been inverted and they are actually LHD. I think I've found the orange one on a german website and you can see it is LHD. The links below show what I think is the same car as above but after a...

[ QUOTE ] How about this one, with optional driver? [/ QUOTE ] Nah mate thats the A2 of the range whereas the one in question was more like a chipped S3 but even faster! Thats the very same driver though, I reckon he's The Stig off Top Gear.

[ QUOTE ] did you blip the throttle before pulling off? I find the lower rev range totally gutless I guess due to the 20 valves. [/ QUOTE ] Ha ha there's no way I was going to line up next to a lawn mower revving my engine, in hindsight I should of done! I'll hold my hands up and admit that I...
