    Rattle / knock when turning engine off

    My 1.8TQS, when turned off has a knock or rattle from the engine. It doesn't do it when the clutch is depressed. I thought it was gears knocking against each other in the gearbox, but could it be the DMF? It does it when warmed up, not if stopped while still cold. It sounds like the noise a...

    Haldex pre-charge pump humming - normal?

    Today I was driving with the seats folded completely flat and the radio turned off. When parking up I noticed a quiet whiney hum from the boot area of the car (heard from the inside). Pulling the Haldex fuse 31 stopped it, so it must be the pre charge pump. Is a little hum normal from this, or...

    S3 rear brakes, shims??

    So I just upgraded to S3 rear brakes, yum! Anyway The pads I bought were TRW ones from VWSPARES.CO.UK listed as fitting all rear brakes. The shims however only fit the old ones with the 9mm disc, not the new wider vented disc. I have had the same issue when I changed the rears on my friends...

I drove hundreds of miles today for a remap and within 5 minutes of getting there I was told cylinders 1 & 2 had excessive knock sensor voltages when revved and mapping wouldnt be worth it until this was rectified for the best...

    N249 bypass = not a nice drive!

    I Fitted a Autobahn88 silicone TIP yesterday in preparation for a remap, while there I snapped a slip that held the metal pipes for the DV and vacum tank, and wanted to remove the vacuum tank because it interferred with my DV, so I thought i'd try the N240 bypass. So I took off the vacuum tank...

    Genuine VAG cruise control fitting instuctions: anyone want them?

    Here they are, genuine VAG instructions admittedly for a Golf. Several languages in this, including English. Used them when I fitted cruise control to my car. They are available scanned in online. I don't want them, seems like a bit of a shame to bin them though for some reason. Anyone want to...

    Silicone TIP's - two types, what's the difference?

    Simple question but the answer eludes me: It seems for non S3 1.8T's there are two TIP variations. I have an AJQ engine, there is another for engines such as the AUM. What is the difference? Forge list two with the engine codes: AWW - AWD - AWP - AUM - APP - AWU - AUQ OR AVC - APH - AJQ - AGU...

    HOW TO: Fit cruise control to an A3 1.8T (pic heavy)

    Here is how I fitted cruise control to my car. Some steps aren't there such as trim removal etc. because it's pretty self explanatory once you get there. I found this guide also very useful from a TT website: http://www.ttoc.co.uk/absolutte/Archive/A16/A16_P36_41_FINAL.pdf And I used the...

    Audi A3 - cluster swap, now won't start, help!

    Hi. So I decided I hated my dead DIS in my 2000 A3 1.8TQS, and bought a 'new' dash from ebay, I think it's an exchange dealer one possibly. It was zero miles. I have the SKC for both new and old clusers. I transferred the soft coding from the old cluster, and set the mileage fine. I coded...
