    Wheel fitment help

    The wheels i'm looking at buying are: 18x8.0 ET35 5-112 Centre bore: 66.5mm Will they fit OK? I understand i need to use reducers for the centre bore, but I believe the ET might mean they stick out, is this correct?

    HPFP Cam Follower

    Car has done 94k - I'm not sure if it has ever been changed or not - I presume it has if it's a service item as car has FSH. I just found / watched this video on YouTube and it looks an easy job. £150 seems way ott for this.

    HPFP Cam Follower

    Quick Q. I'm still learning so please be nice :) Is the HPFP Cam Follower part of the HPFP? If I were to upgrade the HPFP to say an APR HPFP, does this mean I do not need to replace the existing cam follower? A garage has quoted me £150 to replace the current HPFP Cam Follower and surely it...

    Second keyfob puts car into SAFE mode and doesn't start

    Thanks desert storm. I get everything you said but I am struggling to understand how you interface with the chip - i.e how do you program the chip, do you plug the chip into something? My guess is that you put key into ignition which allows car to comm with the chip via VCDS?

    Second keyfob puts car into SAFE mode and doesn't start

    Hi, I have 2 keyfobs for my 8p - one works fine and the other puts car into SAFE mode and tries to start but then cutsout. It was dropped from a height and then this happened. Does this mean its ****** or can it be reprogrammed? Thanks !

    A3 2.0T 08 8PA Stiff / heavy steering - need some help with some questions, please!

    Thanks Sooty I will check the voltages. I'm guessing that the car will not necessarily produce any errors or warning lights if the battery is a bit crap?

    A3 2.0T 08 8PA Stiff / heavy steering - need some help with some questions, please!

    This does sound the exact same problem - and I also agree with the 1 finger - I think I actually said the same thing to my misses :grin: The issue is still the same for me, it really is quite annoying now. I am out of ideas :( goodbuzz let me know if the new battery fixes your problem.

    A3 2.0T 08 8PA Stiff / heavy steering - need some help with some questions, please!

    It is still an issue, but it's weird as sometimes its really heavy and sometimes its quite light. Doesn't seem to depend on the weather. As much as resetting the steering angle may of helped, it hasn't solved the root of the problem as far as I can tell.

    A3 2.0T 08 8PA Stiff / heavy steering - need some help with some questions, please!

    Yep, that is certainly a massive positive point about the internet and what it's really about - learning and sharing with others! Drove it again today and it's 100% better. I believe I know what happened - which is that I carried out the reset procedure unknowingly after turning the car...

    A3 2.0T 08 8PA Stiff / heavy steering - need some help with some questions, please!

    Wow, Jake, this worked! It put a massive smile on my face when I felt the feeling of the steering when I first got the car over a month ago. I am guessing the car may have got confused after the wheel lock got stuck hard right? Many thanks.

    A3 2.0T 08 8PA Stiff / heavy steering - need some help with some questions, please!

    Thanks Jake! I will give this a try. The car is standard as far as I know apart from being sline with the stiffer suspension etc and 18" wheels.
