    2013 Saloon rear light unit issue.

    Have taken the boot trim out and exposed the wiring harness clipped to the left hinge. I’ve found a split in two wires and one of the brown wires is snapped, so seem to have found the fault. Can anyone confirm what the AWG gauge is for the wires and therefore what colour butt connector to use to...

    2013 Saloon rear light unit issue.

    I have investigated further and problem is still intermittent. I picked up a 2015 rear taillight from eBay in good condition and after replacing, I’m receiving the same fault. It’s generally after opening or closing the boot, so I do think it’s the wiring within the hinge. There’s mention of a...

    2013 Saloon rear light unit issue.

    Afternoon. Have been recieving an intermittent fault on my dash showing that there’s a fault on the rear left turn signal. Once the fault appears it causes the indicator light on the dash and ‘tick tock’ noise to go much quicker. However all turn signals are working and are at normal pace...

    What have you done to your 8V today?

    Many Thanks. I've got a A3 saloon so not sure if that makes any difference with the footwell sizes.

    What have you done to your 8V today?

    Rob are these mats still available? Tried to load up the profile tagged but coming up with an audi sport error. My drivers side is starting to wear so these would be ideal

    Hub and caliper refresh A3 saloon

    Will see how well the silver wears over time. I personally think the silver compliments the alloys, but each to their own.

    Hub and caliper refresh A3 saloon

    Can't take the credit as I got them done at a garage but I think they've done a good job. Rusty hubs were starting to irritate me and went for black to disguise the corrosion better. Think silver would have meant extra coats. Just wanted a factory Oem look.

    Warranty check?

    This is true. Parts should be in within 10 days probably sooner so should be sorted soon.

    Warranty check?

    Update. Shocks are at fault. Both rears are getting replaced once they come into stock as they're on back order. Warranty claim thankfully. Car has Sline suspension but only has 17k on clock, surprised they've failed already!

Havnt got mag ride, but I suppose it's feasible that the mounts could be the same as a S3, Just be Spring rates and...

    Hi, Got an A3 8v saloon. Only had car since Easter time. I'm finding there is a rattly knock coming from rear suspension (I think) but only over rough roads. Car has Sline suspension but I'm coming from a lowered type r so I'm aware of what a firm ride feels like. Anyone aware of any...

    Sat Nav Activation Costs

    Providing the sd card pack you buy has a unused license code. You would just need to buy the activation license pack and then the labour cost to install.
