    Need new back box, where to buy and what price ?

    Don’t really fancy that one in the video sounds a bit loud, phoned lots of car parts places today and they are saying its a dealer only part, currently driving with the back box off just now and its not too loud, going to try and weld it back on to see how that goes before paying audi for a new one

    Need new back box, where to buy and what price ?

    There is nothing atall for the 1.8 engine on ebay, seen a few for the 1.4 but says doesnt fit when i put in my cars details, nothing on that parts in motion either, audi quoted me £607 just for the part which i think is too expensive, do you know who makes the exhaust for the audi a3 8v 1.8 ?

    Need new back box, where to buy and what price ?

    I would prefer to buy new if possible as most used look quite rusty, not seen any used ones for a 1.8 either though, not sure if a 1.4 twin exhaust would be exact same part as my 1.8 exhaust, they don’t even have any new ones on autodoc or gsf either so might need to just go direct to audi for...

    A3 1.8 tfsi

    Think it’s the same engine but just tuned to be slower and more boring to drive than the polo, i’ve had the 1.8 for 4 years now but i’ve drove the polo gti 1.8 and it feels much faster than my a3, the polo pulls away better in 4th at 30mph than mines does in 3rd at 30pmh which was rather...

    Has the ballast or bulb gone in this video ?

    ok thanks i’ll have a look for a ballast just incase i need that aswell, no doubt one from audi will be over £200 or something, seen a few used ones on ebay about £40 but don’t if thats a bit risky buying used

    Can anyone tell if the ballast or bulb is causing the problem in this video ? And how much is a replacement ballist ? Will it need to be the same as the passenger side working one so the light output is the same ? Only letting me put an icloud link up for the video ...

    i was considering the osram nightbreakers but supposedly in reviews i’ve seen the phillips extreme vision gen2 is meant to be a little bit whiter looking light than the osrams so going to go with the phillips i think but i’m just hoping it’s not the ballast that is causing my headight problem...

    Seen these phillips white vision gen 2 on sale seem like a good price compared to the phillips xtreme gen 2 version at £71.50 on the same website, would there be much difference between these 2 to justify the extra price ?

    Osram or phillips for replacement/original ?

    Will probs give halfords a miss but just not sure how much labour a garage would charge for it as it looks like an annoying job. I’m just going to stay with d3s xenons but just can’t decide if the nightbreaker osram would be that much better than the standard osram bulbs, seen a few reviews...
