Hi mate, you can't log boost on AGU. You can log timing in block 001 I would also log block 002 (maf g/s) and 013 for knock. AGU relies on MAF readings mainly so if this is off it could be the reason for power loss

Hi mate, I was reading through some old posts where you were having trouble with the wiring of the aftermarket horn. I’m having the same issue. Do you remember haw you sorted this out in the end? Or point me to any post? Cheers

Hi all, Does anyone know if the tie rods and tie rod ends have to be swapped to the standard A3 ones when fitting a TT/S3/R32 steering rack? The TT/S3/R32 tie rod ends fit into the hub from the bottom (vs A3 from top) they can be spun around but doesn’t seem right, it also seems possible to swap...

Hi all, Just to let you know what the issue was in the end in case anyone comes across a similar problem. It was the ignition switch as I suspected. It is positioned at the end of the ignition barrel. To get to it the steering wheel needs to come off and the plastic around the steering column...

it's been there last 14yrs haha, no issues I've ordered an ignition switch (the one at the end of the barrel), hoping this may be the problem. Steering wheel has to come off to get it out.

hi mate, the lip is from vw polo mk3, side skirts are from mk5 mk5 skirts are a straight fit, the lip needs just a bit of cutting at the ends to fit the a3 bumper. i'll see if i have some close up photos and ill put them up

tried the blacked out look for a while and got sick of it - back to polished lips

Might go all the earth points, anyone know how many there are/locations?

The fuses/circuit look ok, here is a quick snap.

Hi guys, Hope someone can point me in the right direction. I've done a few searches but didn't find anything which seemed similar to my issue. Issue: My A3 (AGU) is cranking but not starting 95% of the time When I put the key into start position before firing I've noticed the climate control...

still a lot less than power wasting 4WD system in the s3 though :wink new: A3 all the way!!

built this over the weekend since I couldn't find anything for 8L on the net just gotta paint it now

Installed facelift grill and new lip

remove the fuse box and you should be able to see a bit better where it's going I had mine coming between the A pillar trim and the dash before placing it on top of the steering column

Ok, fair enough, explains why the graphs look the way they do, ecu is just guessing how much fuel should be added. In open loop, obviously it ignores the o2 sensor but is it using the maf signal g/s to calculate how much fuel should be added? Might explain why it's dumping so much fuel if it's...
