Hi there, I'm familiar with thermostat / pump leaks etc. but not sure what this one is ?? It's in the back right of the engine bay to the right of the firewall stuff and it feels like felt and the bottom half of it is wet. I've marked it up on the 2 photos.

Hi there, Well, my new years present on taking the car out of the garage was not one, but two coolant leaks from what I can see. The first one seems to be at the back of the engine in the middle, where a temp sensor goes in to the coolant and from what I've read so far seems to be an O ring...

Hi there, It's weird, I've had 2 occasions now where when sitting in traffic at a red light, where I've pulled up, pressed the brake pedal and the electronic park brake has come on, lights saying it's on etc. Then while I've been sitting, the brake just goes off of it's own accord ! Not sure...

Hi there, My pre-facelift 2014 S3 has just been called in for the 91U7 Infotainment security patch. A bit weird as I assumed it wouldn't apply to my vehicle. I've booked it in, but when I asked them about it, they said that it applied a security patch only and would not update the firmware in...

Hi there, Just picked up a pre-facelift 2014 8V S3. Lovely car and very happy with it. The car has the MMI, with Nav Plus, but no SIM slot, so no Audi Connect in it. The previous owner had purchased the Tech Pack and so, there were 6 free map updates with the car. I logged into the MyAudi...

Hi there, While topping up the washer fluid I noticed that there is a pipe in the top left of the engine bay that is rusted. Not sure what this pipe is for, or whether I should be worried about it or go and get it replaced ? Anyone any ideas ? Thanks, Roy.

Hi there, I have a 52 plate S3, with about 90k miles on it. I've had all the usual things go wrong with it and it is fine and drives well. I've recently noticed a kind of whirling noise as I start to accelerate below about 3000rpm and then it tends to go away as I feel the turbo pushing...

Hi there, Was driving down the motorway yesterday and noticed that my temperature guage, which normally sits rock solid on 90C was about 82C. I think it may be the temperature sensor that is at fault ? I'd bought one before to replace in my wife's TT for vagparts.com, but obviously they...

Hi there, I've got a TT '03 plate and can't feel any ISOFIX mounts in the back of it. Would anyone know if there are points where I can retrofit the ISOFIX brackets to ? Roy.

Hi there, Nightmare, reversed out the drive this morning and as I turned the wheel I heard this long clang come from the front passenger side of the car. driving the car slowly, when it went over bumps, I could hear a large metal on metal dropping noise. When cornering at slow speeds, I can...

Hi there, Was driving my wife's TT yesterday (I've got an S3) and the oil gauge was sitting at 50C. Mentioning it to her, she couldn't remember what it should be sat at. However, it then started moving up towards 90C, got halfway there and then settled back down to 50C again. Really weird...

Hi there, Just had the timing belt changed at Audi Glasgow in my wife's TT. The TT's 5 years old and has done 38k miles on it. After we got it back, the engine has a different sound to it. It sounds more when slowing down, as if there is a secondary engine breaking sound to it when slowing...

Hi there, I've got a slow leak in my front 2 S3 tyres. Loosing about 5/6 PSI a week. I've had the tyres looked at in the local Kwik-Fit and they can see bubbles coming off of the rim where the tyre joins the wheel. They've suggested I need to get my alloys refurb'd (?), but this is on the...

Hi there, My wife's got a faulty temp sensor in her TT. I can see it behind the lower front grill...but, how do I get at it ? Do I take the grill off, or is there a better way to get in at it to replace it ? Also, anyone know if I can buy a replacement one of these online anywhere ...

Hi there, My wife's TT has a couple of faults in it: Fuel guage in cluster not working (though the eletronic miles left works) and the outside temp is weird. Anyway, I connected Vag-Com up to it and pulled out: * Address 08: Auto HVAC Controller: 8N0 820 043 A Component...

Hi there, I've got a warning symbol just come up on my DIS. It looks like (O) I've looked in the manual and can't see it, all I can see that is similar is one that looks like that, but has a '!' in the middle, mine doesn't. Any ideas ? Thanks, Roy.

Hi there, My wife's TT's needing a couple of minor things looked at (fuel guage misreading, temp sensor misreading, cigarette lighter not working). Kinda things that are probably easy for an independant to fix up, but expensive if we go to the dealers for. Anyone know a decent Audi...

Hi there, My wife's TT's ( same as my S3 really) fuel guage has stayed stuck at full after the last time I filled her car up for her. The electronic dash miles left indicator is going down, but the needle is still saying full. Any ideas if I could fix this, or is it a trip into the...
