    Thanks for the replys. I will probably just cut and resolder the cable and protect it all.

    Cutting and resoldering Haldex wiring.

    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

    Is this VAG screenwash genuine?

    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.

    Is this VAG screenwash genuine?

    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...

    S3 4WD Fault, Haldex or MAF?

    I had the same fault code on my S3 when I first bought it 3 years ago.

The wiring connector that's connects into the haldex...

    Audi S3 8L drivers side front door window problem

    100% it's your window regulator.... The cable rusts and snaps just replaced mine last week for £100 a side just for the parts.

    Audi S3 door blade trim coming off!

    Its definitely the screws that cause the corrosion. It'd replace them all before yours goes the same.

    Audi S3 door blade trim coming off!

    The plastic strip is still on the door. Does that slide back into the trim?

    Audi S3 door blade trim coming off!

    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.

(I went to dealer about the corrosion warranty complete waste of time)...

    Water leak!!!

    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.
