My 2017 MY facelift A3 1.4tfsi Sport has factory-fit xenon headlights. These are presumably less than the 2000 lumen limit, because headlamp washers are not fitted. The automatic self-levelling on these headlights appears to operate correctly when I test it with a load in the boot, but there is...

I can highly recommend Mike Pritchard Motors in Wellow near Romsey. Just used them for a rear bumper repair on my wife’s Polo GT, and the work was first class, very reasonably priced, and completed very quickly. Small, Long-established, family business, run by Colin with the help of his sons...

Does anyone know of a list anywhere of FEC codes? TIA Mike

Just back from a 1600 mile round trip to southern France. Trouble-free apart from an oddity with the Audi satnav, and I wondering if anyone had experienced anything similar, or could offer any explanation. On the way down I broke the journey at two hotels, let’s call them A and B. I...

In my handbook I have diagrams and descriptions of the fuses in the two fuseboxes on my car, but no details of the 16 relays. Does anyone know where I can find a list of what each relay controls? TIA Mike

I recently retrofitted a 5Q0 980 566B rear view camera to my 2017 MY (facelift) Audi A3 Sportback. I used a kit from AliExpress. The installation went smoothly, and following the coding instructions supplied by the vendor the camera worked first time. My question relates to the 6C module which...

I need a couple of new tyres. I am still running the original tyres, and my rims are unmarked front and back. I want to keep them that way, so can anyone recommend a tyre fitter in the Southampton area who will not damage my wheels? The last timeI had tyres fitted on my wife’s car the rims...

I am retrofitting puddle and warning lights into the doors of my sportback, and I am trying to find out the numbers of the repair wires that plug into the 32 pin connector in the front doors, and the 16 pin connectors in the rear doors. Can anyone help? Thanks

This is a brand new unused 8 channel park distance control module for 2017-2019 (facelift ) car. Part number is 5QD919294L. Made by Valeo. This came with a kit which I bought to upgrade to front and rear parking sensors. I already had a suitable module, so this one was never used. It has been...

This is the Park Distance Control module from my facelift 2017 A3. It's a 4 channel unit, so works with 4 rear bumper sensors. Part number 5QA919283. It was in full working order when I removed it to upgrade my system to front and rear sensors. Made by Valeo. £20 including postage to uk...

Brand new rear tow eye cover for facelift A3. This is the little cap that fits in the car bumper to cover the hole where the towing eye screws in. I bought this when I thought mine had gone missing, but it later turned up so not needed. Unpainted, so will need spray to match your car. Part...

I can’t find the Digital Service Record for my car on MyAudi. It used to show up, but the heading doesn’t seem to be there anymore. Anyone else having this problem?

I am in the process of adding front parking sensors to my FL A3. Now got to the stage of wiring up to the PDC module under the dash and I’ve hit a problem. I have replaced the 4 channel PCD module (I already have rear sensors) with an 8 channel module, and I am stuck trying to add the extra...

I want to add front PDC system to my FL A3 which already has rear PDC. I have found a complete kit on Aliexpress...

Just bought a VCDS cable, and before making any changes on my car I am creating backups of all the current settings including Adaption Maps. Most things are fairly clear, however something I don't understand and which is not explained in the Ross Tech manual is the meaning of the last column of...

I want to buy VCDS, and there seem to be a few Ross-tech registered uk suppliers. Most of them charge the same price, but one, Vtech, is somewhat cheaper. Does anyone know of any issues with Vtech?

I will be taking my A3 to France in the Spring, and since I hate car ferries with a vengeance, I will be using the Channel Tunnel. It’s been many years since I last used the Tunnel, and I believe that most small cars now travel on an upper deck in the train. I believe this involves driving up a...

Probably paranoia, but I've noticed a faint whirring noise in my car. Not sure if it's new or whether It's just that I've recently become aware of it. Only really noticeable when the engine is warm, the car is stationary and the engine is idling in neutral. It stops when the clutch is fully...
