Had to get the RAC again to my car at the weekend. It's started doing the thing where it has no power at all under load again - it'll run fine (ish) on the flat but it stuggles to do 30 mph up hills. The symptoms are identical to before I replaced the coil packs about 3 months ago - except...

Given we seem to have resolved the issue about washers and levellers at MOT time, can anyone confirm or deny whether the thumbwheel for the halogen lights can be used to change the beam angle if single xenon (i.e. the version with halogen high beams) have been retrofitted? I have searched (a...

I know this is pretty specialised - but nothing ventured. If you have a standard unmessed with 2.0 FSI SE could you let me know what the spring colour code from the front spring is please? For reference - this is from my 1.6 FSI Sport -

I tried to see if I could hit the rev limiter earlier on my 1.6 FSI. On previous cars I've had (except in the very distant past) you could rev to somewhere near the red line - which is 6500 rpm on this, and then get a gradual tailing off towards the red line. I tried (with a properly warmed up...

Posting this as I drew a blank both here and on t'internet so it may help others. My clutch had the worst imaginable judder in the universe, but only intermittently. My VIN fell in the range for the DMF recall. I couldn't get any help from Audi dealers about whether my car was affected and...

I am now 99% sure that "misfire" I've had for ages is my dual mass flywheel - it has started chattering now and the "missing" is getting worse. I've tried my local Audi dealer and the one in Bolton that serviced the car in it's early years, but i can't even get through to anyone in service to...

1.6 FSI, 94k FSH This pile of junk has always had an intermittent missing at tickover - irritating, but not terminal. Now it is doing a "jerk" on constant light throttle. The Audi Specialists found no fault codes when they serviced it about 8 weeks ago, so I took it to the local tuning guy...

I can't really justify a brand new VCDS cable. I assume the (£7ish) ones on a certain auction site are hookey, but surely there must be a second hand market for these - is there a way to tell which ones are genuine?

Before anyone warns me, I've done a thorough visual check, nothing's hanging off/out, pads are all present correct and with plenty of thickness left etc, and fluid level is perfect and not dropping/leaking and brake operation is 100% normal. I suspect this is pad wear sensors and/or connections...

Just a quick share in case anyone with a 1.6 FSI gets this. Set off yesterday and got flashing Check Engine Light followed by it lighting up continuously and car running very badly, lacking power (not that there was much to start with). Limped home and hooked up my cheapo chinese code reader...

What revs is an unmodified 1.6 petrol doing in 5th at 70 mph?

So we've agreed to fall out about non OEM HIDs :-) Since we seem to be engaged in an all-out light war out there, has anyone tried the Cree (LED) H7 replacements that are now widely available ?

So I had the MIL light on and my ten-quid code reader says P0403 which is a generic EGR system problem. Doing a search turned up a load of folk with broken EGR pipes on A2s with "my" engine. Anyone had this issue? The valve is 35 quid for one off a scrapper or about 180 so I want to make sure...

So I've done nothing about the leaky exhaust and it's getting worse, and now the check engine light is on. I may be able to get the pipe welded - but I suspect replacing the whole front section might not be the worst idea - I can get one delivered for £200. Problem is there's a disclaimer on...

Anyone got a source for the plug that connects Nav and phone to the back of a single DIN Concert II with ISO Connectors? (the one on the right below)

Thought I might take a look - I am stuggling to make out the "factory fitted sat nav" in the pics mind you. Used Audi A3 Hatchback 3.2 V6 Quattro Sport 3dr in Coalville, Leicestershire | Ad Carsales Is the price anything like?

I've seen a 2002 V6 quattro for sale I quite like the look of - it's manual. Anyone got one of these and care to share any experiences?

What's involved in a move from Sport (not S-line) to comfort suspension - car's a 1.6 FSI 2005 Sport and they might as well not have bothered fitting any suspension for all the good it is. I don't want to move away from what might have been fitted originally (wasn't it a no-cost option?) but...

Care to reply or PM? Would like to compare notes on a few faults with mine.

My car's always had a jerky throttle response and the clutch judders a bit when reversing. After reading a few threads on here and elsewhere I went out and rocked the engine a bit - I think it's moving more than it should but how can I tell what's normal? Also not sure which of the mounts might...
