    General information needed on my 2007 Audi A3 S line 170bhp TDI

    Forgive me but i guess you are waiting for the glow plug light to go out? I would also suggest that if it's really cold give them a double whack i.e. flick the key twice. If they are dead I would expect the light to be on etc. Is your battery all OK?? As for the hiss seals on the boost pipe can...
