    Q2 Fault code P17D800 Torque limitation due to clutch temperature

    Tried having a look around but haven’t really been able to pull much info about this, my 2017 Q2 1.6TDI Manual threw a check engine light the other day, read the codes and it’s showing torque limitation due to clutch temperature. I cleared the code and it stayed off for a few days but has come...

    Bonnet release broken

    Have tried this but it seems to be the handle isn’t connected to the cable at all, so won’t even pull the wire.

    Bonnet release broken

    Went out this morning to try and start my 325d, battery dead. Anyway, got my A3 up close jump cables out and now the bonnet won’t open on my A3. The actual cable it’s self isn’t working, when I pull the handle I can feel nothing happen. It’s like the cable has become detached from the handle...

    1.6 Clutch replacement mileage?

    My a3 is just about to hit 117k, I'm not sure how it was driven by the previous owner (not well to my knowledge), how long should the standard clutch last before needing a replacement?

    Aggressive/dangerous driving

    I've thought about getting a dash cam but I'm very OCD about my car so everything would have to be out of my view

    Aggressive/dangerous driving

    I agree with you that the M5 is full of some real idiots, I drive down there regularly as my family owns a property in Cornwall, worst I've seen was a guy in an X6 weaving in and out of very heavy traffic, beeping his horn and flashing his lights then undertaking on the hard shoulder. No respect...

    Aggressive/dangerous driving

    I've never posted in this section before, but I saw this today and it got me really really annoyed, I was driving into town the same as I normally do, I exited a roundabout and a brand new blue RS6 flew up behind me, I was doing 40 and couldn't go any faster because there was traffic infront of...

    A1 Stolen at Knifepoint

    Sorry to hear about this, seems like car jacking is becoming quite a common thing around the midlands. Do you only have to option for a like for like replacement, or will the insurance co not offer you the value of the car in cash?

    Engine noob. Disconnected pipe.

    Sorry haven't been able to get online the past days as we had new broadband fitted, anyway I replaced the filter and re connected the pipe, some tickover issues at first but then took it for a long drive and its much smoother now, thanks for your suggestions guys.

    Engine noob. Disconnected pipe.

    It disappears under the bottom left of the engine cover so I'll take that off and have a look tomorrow when it's bright out.

    Engine noob. Disconnected pipe.

    I was poking around my engine today whilst checking on oil levels and topping up washer fluid when I noticed a pipe with nothing connected too it (shown above) the pipe with nothing on it comes out of the air box. After a bit more digging I found the black pipe next to it was meant to be...

    Wrapped 'B' pillar

    How difficult are these to wrap yourself? I wrapped some interior bits on mine and have some carbon wrap left so might do the B pillars.

    A3 2.0TDI buyers help?

    Hi, I know this has probably been asked before but I couldn't find anything in the search. I'm looking at buying a 2007 2.0TDI S-line, the 140 model. Could anyone point me in the right direction of a buyers guide listing different engines/common problems. Also do the higher mileage ones...

    how to trace owner of a vehicle after damage to my car

    I wish I could claim it off my insurance but being 17 and already paying 2k+ it'll push my premium up too much, and my excess is more than the repair would cost too sadly. Not anymore. After a month they suspended the investigation because of the 'lack of evidence' (laziness) I almost did...

    how to trace owner of a vehicle after damage to my car

    Just starting to get pic up on social media. Unfortunately I don't have Facebook but I've asked 'stolen cars west midlands' if they can put up a post and family / friends are going to share the photo for me. I will never understand why people feel the need to vandalise people's cars...

    how to trace owner of a vehicle after damage to my car

    Hello, I'm at a bit of a loss as to what to do now after my car was very badly vandalised in a 'CCTV controlled' car park. Long story short the whole bonnet is covered in key scratches that go right down to the paint, after advice from the police I recorded a video of him doing it and figured...

    Extreme Parking

    I'm always trying to get as far away from other people as possible too, girlfriend hates it though. My gym car park has a few double spaces in between pillars, you could have 2 cars in there but there's no line so you can use it as one. It's either that or the top floor. But despite my efforts...

    2.0TDI 3dr Vs 5dr?

    So after a long time of debating ive decided in going to go for the 3 doors as it fits my needs practicality wise, I doubt ill have kids for another 7+ years so that wont be an issue for me, and I prefer the longer doors on the 3 door for getting in and out as I quite tall and have a few...

    2.0TDI 3dr Vs 5dr?

    The RS3 does look very very nice in a 5dr. I've seen a few 3 doors with RS3 bits and they look pretty nice, but I think the 5 door is just better proportioned but I'm still very undecided :blink:
