Thanks Paul. He seems to rate them highly. I just wish it sat flush like the Xtrons, but I guess I could get used to it.

I am having the same dilemma at the moment also.. Teyes vs Xtrons. Does the Teyes allow steering wheel controls to still work?

Thanks a lot. Someone suggested today that it could be the body control module also, but I’m unsure whether or not I should add that to my check list.

It’s 8P4971029M . Not sure if other 5 door models produced during the 8p years will have the sms loom but different part numbers.

Thanks. Looking at that sight everything points towards an issue with the rear module (which I have replaced) and wiring/connection issues which I have checked and repaired. Unsure whether or not I should remove the drivers door loom completely and look for damage, or just buy a new loom.

This is what came up when I had it scanned .

Yes, I checked the other side of the wiring this morning, as someone else suggested that too. But no corrosion or damage to the wires going into the firewall. The only other thing I thought was to replace the whole drivers side door loom as there maybe breaks in the wiring further back than I...

Quick update on this, incase anyone responds or is struggling with similar issues. My issues currently are: 1.No power to rear drivers side door (when door is open, no indication on dash), door does not lock with keyfob and electric window does not work. 2. Passenger side, rear door electric...

Hi guys, Got a few issue with my A3 2009 TDI Sportback which I’m unsure whether or not are related. The alarm does not beep when you arm it, the rear windows don’t work and the drivers side rear door doesn’t lock (although you can hear the solonoid working when you arm/disarm the alarm. I...

Thanks Darren. I will pm you now. One of the mechanics I spoke to said to buy a good quality belt as the cheaper ones squeal/fail. Is the SKF and Contitech better than the gates stuff? Thanks

Hi guys, I just bought a 2009 a3 TDI S Line 2.0, and would like to buy a cam belt kit for it. I had a look on Autodoc and was confused with all the different kits they had. I then came across this kit...

Sorry…. Yes it’s the 2.0T I was looking at. Was told to steer clear of the 1.4tfsi?. I was slightly confused in regard to whether it was cam chain cam belt or both. But that makes sense now. Agreed… the BKD has been an absolute trooper in all honesty… apart from needing a new turbo at 170k. I...

Hi guys, I currently have an 8p a3 bkd with 223k on the clock and still going strong, but have recently been thinking about getting a newer car ….8p tfsi sport back 2008-2012. Some of them I have seen so far have had 100k-130k miles on the clock, but I just wondered how reliable these engines...

Hi, I changed the thermostat on my 2005 A3 earlier today. When I removed the thermostat I snapped part of the plastic insert which you 1/4 turn the thermostat into. Either way I managed to fit it back together, replace the rubber 0 ring, but the housing is now slowly leaking coolant. I tried...

What colour did you get and any noticeable increase in vibration?

Update: I ordered all new mounts from Autodoc in the end. However after having looked into removing the sub frame bushes to replace....it looks like an absolute nightmare of a job.....well unless you have specialist tools to press in /press out. Would I notice much difference in replacing the...

Ok. Will these mounts fit my car? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151377202785?hash=item233ec8ce61:g:35YAAOSwl3Vfqq8U https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/152899428136?epid=249107082&hash=item2399841f28:g:LKQAAOSwrslafFsP Unsure whether the gb mount is different on mine being a DSG compared to a manual?

Thanks for the responses guys. So it would be easier to grab a spare sub frame to replace the bush there and the dog bone? Where can I actually buy new mounts from outside of dealers? Also would filling the original mounts with polyurethane opposed to buying the inserts work just as well...

Hi guys, I want to replace the engine and gearbox mounts on my 05 A3 TDI S-line. Having had a search on the forum, I can see a lot of people suggest using powerflex inserts opposed to replacing the mounts with oem ones? Can anyone tell me how many mounts I will need? Am I right in thinking I'll...
