Had a few flat batteries recently and just got to the bottom of it. it seems my glovebox piston was snapped - quite common. Although I didnt even know it was supposed to slowly drop down so never noticed it. It seems that if your leave the interior lights on normal, the car dims all the...

I'd like to wire in the DRL's that are in my aftermarket headlights. At the moment they work on the sidelight switch only, and when the auto-headlights turn the dipped beam on. I would like to wire them in so whenever the car is at IGN position 2 they are illuminated. The DRL options in VCDS...

I've got the full VCDS v11 and have followed the guide on rosstech for adapting a new fob (buttons only, not immobiliser). ..... [Select] [46 - Cent. Conv.] [Adaptation - 10] Enter channel "01" [Read] This will display the...

I was lucky enough to win an 8p cruise control stalk from a 2009 A3 on ebay last week. for 99p!! I fitted it this weekend.. not too difficult. then recoded the engine and steering wheel in VCDS, and it works! I didnt have the lower steering cowel.. so I modified the old one with a holesaw...

I know the TFSi takes a little while longer than your average engine to warm up... something to do with the direct injection I think.. But I've noticed mine is only getting close to 90 after a 40 min drive on A roads (my daily commute). In fact, the needle never gets quite to 90 and always...

Hi, I'm currently having difficulty getting my RNS-E to read the nav DVD. I've replaced the laser in the RNS-E and it plays music CD's ok. So pretty sure I've installed it correctly. I've even tried burning some replacement disks but still having no joy. As I don't know if its the laser or...

I've got the opportunity to buy an aftermarket backbox from a non-quattro TFSI. From a bit of research I've discovered the exhausts are different for the different flavours of the A3 TFSI. What I would like to know is how much different. Is the physical back box the same? just the pipe that...

Is there an easy way to tell? Such as the boost level a standard 2.0T runs at? The car originally seemed slow, I replaced the split DV and fitted a Forge DV. Now its a lot quicker. I've got torque, and logged a max boost pressure of 13psi. The boost seems to come in at about 3k. Does this...

I've been offered some non-quattro Eibach Sportline springs that originally came off an A3 TFSI. I'm aware that the Quattro is a bit heavier so it will sit lower, but will they actually fit?

As the title suggests this is about my A3's headlights. The previous owner fitted aftermarkets (not sure where from). I also have auto headlights/rain. The headlights work as expected. when switched to sidelight, only the sidelights(LED) come on. The same for dipped. When on auto mode and...

I think my 2.0T is a bit down on power and I have a P0441 error. Could the two of these be linked? Does anyone have a guide to diagnosing a P0441 error? Thanks!

This should be quite an easy question.. and the only reason I'm asking is because three different websites advised I need different wiper sets! Can anyone tell me which bosch wiper set I need for a 2004 A3 2.0t sportback. One seller on ebay suggests A837 another A830 and halfords AM980! I...

Hey, I now own my first A3. its a 2.0tfsi quattro sportback in blue. I have a few minor niggles... 1. RNS-E doesnt read the DVD. I've read about this common problem and after cleaning the disk I think its probably the laser. I've ordered a wet lens cleaner disk, but think I will probably need...

Hey, new 2004 A3 2.0 TFSI quattro sportback owner here. I got the car at a good price because it has a few minor niggles. Its mechanically sound (full audi SH and recent cambelt). 1. RNSE doesn't read the DVD (I've read about this common problem and I think its the laser). 2...
