I'm not a mechanic so as much as simple things like taking wheels off etc I can do, though I'm not able to break the car myself or have space to even do it. Though I know I'd get more money for it if it was stripped :(
The ECU isn't blown per se, that I'm aware of, perhaps I phrased it wrong...
Thanks, both, I should have said while I understand that garages are mostly looking out for themselves I know this garage well with a good friend that looks after the mechanical side of things, so I do trust what they say.
Brakes yes, there is play I know of in the brakes, the car stops, don't...
Hey all,
I've got a conundrum, my A3 went in for its MOT earlier today but the garage has spotted some large faults that are putting the repair bill to about £2k to put right, more than what I would think the car's worth! The faults are:
ABS Pump has gone
Rear nearside spring cracked (car's...
Hi mate, I'm looking for a set of resistors for a set of LED fog lights (http://www.halfords.com/motoring/bulbs-blades-batteries/car-bulbs/halfords-477-h7-led-fog-light-car-bulbs-x-2), they work fine at the moment but throw dash errors. Do you supply any resistors and a quick how-to wire them up?
Just to jump on the band wagon here I got the Cupra R splitter (£40 ish from eBay last year) and got mine sprayed before fitting:
You get a bit of a gap around the middle where it doesn't fit quite right but for the time being its good. Though my car is slammed so it's got a few stone chips.
Few things for sale!
Audi A3 "Star" 5-Spoke 17" Alloys (with Tyres):
On eBay on 7Day listing. Two tyres are 5mm+ tread the other two are <0.9mm. £225 on eBay though happy to entertain offers. Collection only (Bath). Tyres are 225/50/17...
Speedlines are mint, they'll look good at -50mm, though what A3 have you got? bog standard, sportback, S3 etc? Put some pics up when you get them mate!
One thing i'd say is if you have a fully loaded boot or people in the back you might want to remove the rear bumper arch screw (rear underside...
Hi car mate, like the front valance :)
I have the same era sport back and I thought about getting an Sline rear, though instead went for a lower valance change, I really liked the bumper strip bumpers so I got this one...

Kieran why say that? This isn't isn't a let down at all, in fact it's one of the better sites out there when it comes to community and advice. It's helped me out and given me some good ideas. If your referring to no one replying to your thread give it time for people to post back to you!
As for...
I'll have to keep an eye out for you Chris, I live just near Norton too. Your's isn't the 3door with debaged honeycomb front grill? (there's two I know of around this area, ones mine!)
Hey all,
Any VCDS owners like to lend a chap a hand recoding some '09 rear lights on a 2006 sportback? And perhaps a couple of other little coding tweaks for a couple of beer's?

yea, It's the pre face lift. Not sure what caused it tbh, I'm guessing some chip or something that's let air/water to the metal. Or a poor job if it had been been done before. I gotta get the car into the bodyshop anyway for some other bits so might see if they can do me a deal :)
Just spoke to the closest Audi body shop to me, they do repair body/paintwork under the 10 year warranty if the area/panel etc is the original, so not resprayed etc. I have a feeling it has been done in the past. They did say bring the car down and they'll take a look but the earliest they can...
