Had the S3 on ramp today because the traction control light is permanently on... I knew why it's the Haldex plug has completely corroded and the pins have come off inside the plug connector. Can we cut the plug connector and resolder the wiring together? Without any issues? Thanks
So it's genuine then? How much are these each normally? We thought the same thing when we first picked up the car about the screenwash it's apparently because she has the winter pack with headlight washers.
Hello, my girlfriend has a brand new VW polo. The Dealership says she must use genuine VAG screenwash for warranty reasons. The dealership is quite far away and thought we'd buy bulk on ebay. Normally we buy genuine stuff at VW at £3.50 a pop - concentrate but this stuff is diluted? Is it...
I had the same fault code on my S3 when I first bought it 3 years ago. Posting on this forum I was told it was many things like control modules (Haldex unit) pre charge pumps, wheel sensors, yaw sensors etc. Turned out the wiring was corroded. The wiring connector that's connects into the haldex...
My S3 does this! High pitched noise when pressing climate control button. Is this a belt? Also when idle and I have the climate control on and I go outside the car I hear a loud ticking/clicking noise what is that?
100% it's your window regulator.... The cable rusts and snaps just replaced mine last week for £100 a side just for the parts. Also replace in pairs as my passenger one broke 3 days after the drivers side. You can slide the window up with your hand until you get it fixed but they fall slightly...
Hello, my S3 has various boost leaks and old hoses. I'm after a complete kit to replace all boost/turbo hoses I'm struggling to find the correct ones and I'm confused by all the different sizes and locations of pipe work. Ideally I'd just like one kit or to be shown the correct stuff to buy. Ive...
I agree, it can wreck what is a nice car. It happens fast and is costly to fix (paint) not sure about the rest of the parts. If I were to get another 8L S3 one of the first things I'd do is remove all screws and clean it and fit new screws.
Recently I've realised the outside trim was coming off and was getting worse by the day... I had noticed long before the trim falling off the corrosion bubbles forming on the paint above the trim and was also getting worse. (I went to dealer about the corrosion warranty complete waste of time)...
I'm pretty confident it's your scuttle panel that's causing your leak if you remove both wiper arms and lift the scuttle the whole bottom of your windscreen with have slimed dirt pushing the panel up off the clip. On my case the passenger side was most effected.
Ive just fixed my problem with my passenger footwell water leak. Problem was scuttle panel had dirt under it. Under the scuttle panel there is a clip the whole length that clicks to the windscreen mine was clogged with dirt which could not be seen outside in any way. Allowing water to drip onto...
Recently my mechanic brother replaced my Cambelt and water pump on the S3. All successful started the car while still on the ramp getting the car to temperature making sure everything was ok and noticed a slight leak dripping from somewhere? literally a dribble... Located the dribble and got the...
