    A3 8L 1.8T Limpmode / Missfire?

    Injector plugs? Never done that before. Is it easy to do? I did have same symptoms ongoing for year's now you mention it to do with the ignition amp. I found if I clean the connectors it cleared the issue

    A3 8L 1.8T Limpmode / Missfire?

    How can I tell if it follows it around? I swapped 3 and 2 and still in limpmode (heavy juddering and popping) can smell fuel a bit too from exhaust.

    A3 8L 1.8T Limpmode / Missfire?

    Yeah its a agu. Was wondering how to check for sure before I shell out money on something it might not be. coil 3 has like a burnt mark on it (might not be but looks like it) also would a coild pack make it rumble really bad on idle too

    Intermittant Puddle / door lights and flat battery?

    hey guy. As the thread title say, my door puddle and red door lights have become intermittent at working. I did have a issue with the dash drivers door open warning light staying on mainly when the passenger door was open but I seemed to have cured that by spraying WD-40 on the drivers door...

    Audi A3 engine mount?

    Quick question. When I go over bumps and start the engine I hear a squeaking coming from drivers side under bonnet. I suspect its the engine mount but is it classed as the left side or right (depending how im looking at the car)

    Air Bag Dash Light On?

    not sad jojo. I've just got a new young family that I spend time with instead of pointless comments about F1 that I don't watch anymore because it's boring. Crap rules and crap sounding cars. Again nothing to do with who is winning. just to add I'm simply asking is the air bag ecu fitted the...

    Air Bag Dash Light On?

    Yeah I think it's dead too. Question is thought is it located in the same place the normal ecu connector is that I connect vag com to and if so how do I get to it to locate the part number?
