Went to start my car earlier and the key just turned all the way round without any resistance. It would turn 360 clockwise and anticlockwise. I managed to get the key out and noticed that the car wouldn't lock with the fob, probably down to the immobiliser and ignition switch. Anyway, I went...

Can someone please confirm the following for me: - Will a sport back front bumper fit a 3 door car? - Does a front bumper with no fog lights still have the fog light fittings behind the the blank fog grills? Thanks in advance. I may be collecting a bumper later.

I've got a facelift bumper I need painting and will be dropping it off tomorrow. What's the easiest part of the car to remove and leave with a body shop to match the paint to? I was thinking the fuel flap but can't seem to get it removed. Any help would be appreciated. My other idea was one I...

Hi guys, long time no type (or something like that!) I'm in need of some advice, guidance, love, and discounts (if possible). I am in need of a full performance clutch kit for an 8P 2.0 TDI A3. "Wrong section" some of you may be thinking, but I have posted over there and I'm hoping I could see...

Hi guys, I've been reading through old posts regarding the Loba/Sachs performance clutch kit for the TDI but I'm trying to find the cheapest deal around at the moment. Car broke down the other day and my current southbend setup has disintegrated causing gearbox failure at the same time. I...

Hi guys, The Mrs' car (a 2008 Golf GT TDI 140) has been totally fine all weekend. We've done about 150 miles this weekend without an issue. This morning she sets off to work, gets 2 miles down the road, it starts to jerk then just cuts out and won't restart. RAC come to recover her. The guys...

Anyone got any suggestion as to why I woul get poor mpg after cleaning the TB? I've just done 65 miles, changing gear at 2k revs and struggled to get 42mpg when I've been getting 50mpg with a fair few blasts! I removed the TB and EGR delete section on Saturday for a clean. As you can see, it...

Hi guys. I thought I'd post this here as I know I just won't get the level of discussion in the 8P section that I will here ;) I've been investigating the core size that I'll need to order to effectively cool the charge air on my 2.0 TDI. At present there is an aftermarket FMIC connected (by...

I hate wet shaving so I've always used a beard trimmer either without a guard so it's close but not razor close or with a few mm of stubble. The issue I've found with all my trimmers I that within a year the plastic teeth on the guard start to break off until you're left with a useless guard...

I'm hoping someone can help clear this up for as I don't think it's particularly clear. Myself and a friend have swapped cars. We both have personal plates that we now want to swap between the two vehicles. I have found the following form on the DVLA site which appears to be the correct one...

Thought I'd start a thread for my new 8P to keep track of any changes I make along the way. Some of you might know me from the 8L section where I used to own this car: Well, after 5 and half years of S3 ownership the time came for me to look for a diesel due to my work commute working out at...

Hi guys, Just wondered if anyone has had to remove their boot lid before? I have a dent and 2 creases in mine that the dent repair people say will need to be done at a body shop due to the type of damage. I've found a perfect boot lid in the right colour on eBay for probably half the price of a...

If anyone is having any issues with instrument clusters or requires new car keys coded I highly recommend this guy. I only posted about my rev counter problem a couple of days ago and @udi A3 contacted me to help. He came to see me today (travelled a fair distance too) and swapped over my bad...

Hi guys, Sorry if this info is somewhere on this board but a search has yielded no decent results. I was wondering if there was a list of things that can be done on the 8P with VCDS? Common things that could be done over on the 8L board were the following: - anti high jack. Car locks over...

Spoke to Megan this morning who was very helpful as I swapped my current sky policy from one car to another. :thumbsup:

I was in a dark blue S3. We had a little blast off the roundabout from the A1 onto the A14.

Ok I'm going to describe a problem I have with a vehicle and I'm after some suggestions. I don't want to give too much info yet as it might swing peoples suggestions. Right so its a 5 speed box that when in neutral has no nasty noises. I can select all gears smoothly with the gear stick and by...

Does anyone know whether it's possible to get the P2P traffic shaping restrictions that BT put on their lines between 3pm an midnight disabled? Anyone spoken to BT and had this lifted?

Due to the disappointment of my car not making the journey to Inters and seeing what it can now do a 1/4 mile in since the remap I'm planning on heading to the Pod. I will be heading up with a mate of mine in a newly built E36 M3 Race Car as he wants to play too. If anyone else is local or...

Spotted around 12pm today. Looked clean and low and had chrome mirrors.
