I've got a faulty 'Central locking Pump' on my A3 1.6se (year 2000), the part number on the base is 8LO 862 257 P. I've sourced one that looks identical and has a similar part number 8DO 862 257 E. Can anybody tell me if this part will do? Also do I need to have access to Vagcom when I...

Have got a 2000 Model A3 and want to change the amber side repeaters. There seems to be a few different types smoked, crystal clear, chrome etc.... Any advice on what ones would look better on a black A3?

After driving for around an hour yesterday I stopped at a shop, returned to the car and just got a click when trying to start, tried it a few times and after a few minutes it started. Got home and tried to start again, same problem just a click. Car started half a dozen or so times this morning...

Can anyone tell me where the Indicator Relay is located on an A3 and if it's easy to get to/change? Also anyone know roughly how much they are? I hear it's a common fault! Cheers
