The code should be stamped somewhere on the engine (also the engine number, which normally starts with the letters of the engine code)... I say somewhere because it's something of a movable feast. Very often it used to be that there was a little tab somewhere up the top end (attached to the...

No worries, it just helps keep the place tidier, but mainly as I say, means that more people familiar with the type see your posts. If you let us know the year of your car it'd help with an accurate answer, but if it's not in exactly the same place as pictured above, the odds are it won't be...

You're welcome. Glad it worked. :icon thumright:

Knowing what happens when you press the pedal (with no gear selected) might help narrow it down, but the release bearing is most likely. The good news is that the part isn't expensive; the less good news is that it's right in the middle, so the strip-down is the same as doing a clutch. The...

CBB or CBBB? If the latter, It's about half way down the intercooler pipework - item 18 on this diagram. Rob P.S. Please post your threads in the correct section for your car (A3 8P) - more people familiar with the model will see them there.

Resetting the stop positions is probably worth a try - whether it fixes it or not is another matter. Drop the window to fully open, hold the switch to close it, when it gets to the top, release the switch and then hold the switch in the close position again until you hear a little click. Rob...

Release bearing has to be top of the list... Does the noise go away when you press the pedal (in neutral), and not present when it's in gear (as far as you can tell)? What sort of mileage has the car (or clutch, if it's had one before) done? Do you sit at a lot of red lights or in a lot of...

Whenever the light's on, really - I think it shows with just the ignition? - it should't make a difference. If I recall correctly, the plug on the car wiring is the male side, so if you disconnect them you should be able to put a flat blade screwdriver across the pins to complete the circuit. I...

The short answer is that neither would be ideal. The 03-08 version is pre-facelift, and so there will be differences all over the car (engine and body); they'll be slight for the most part, so it might be useful as a guide, but there will be stuff that's not exactly right. Similarly with the one...

Pad wear is a pretty basic system, no fancy sensing & logging or anything like that, just a circuit to ground (usually, on VAG) which when the pads wear goes open circuit and illuminates the light. As Matt says, those discs look ready for replacing; the pads aren't supposed to wear all the way...

Kate - as you're newly registered, there are restrictions on sending private messages, normally until you've posted a few replies/threads; this has now been bypassed so you can now send PMs. Click the username of the person you'd like to message, and then click 'start conversation'. Rob

I reckon both could catch you out if they've only been checked with a mk1 eyeball - CV joint can be shot to buggery but still look fine if the boot's not split. Have you had a swing on the wheels/uprights to see if you can feel any knocks/clunks on the bushes etc.? ...And again (in case I...

Dude. 1) Not General Chat 2) Linebreaks are your friend (people are more likely to try to help if they can read without asphyxiating) I'll move the thread to the relevant section now (where you're more likely to find help); but... Knocks/bangs/grinding/play in steering, and it's about 4...

Anti-Shudder Valve... Is this part shaping-up to be the next-generation 'dirty MAF'? Here's the original one from my car; which was throwing a fault code (and causing a slightly wobblier-than-spec shutdown) because it was sticking open. It's not a pretty way to diagnose that part - it'll...

Welcome to the site :) I've a couple ;) ... 1) The Site Support section is for website technical support; you're more likely to get an answer if you regsiter and post in the section for your model: Audi-Sport.net - A3/S3/Sportback 8P chassis forum 2) If you do, please don't use enormous...

Heh. I was going to be more specific but was considering security at the same time... I spent last week trying to soak up some calm inth'lakes (as locals will know, I mostly soaked-up rainwater), but noticed a house which appeared to be inhabited by someone very much with the Audi bug - and as...

Just wondering if any of you are from this neck of the woods? R

Kwatrow, A couple of things it's probably prudent to note at this point: 1) Access to this site is provided as a privilege, not a right. We reserve the right to withdraw your access privileges; if you like, arbitrarily. As it is, we try to operate a fairer system than that; only imposing...

...or to whichever insurance company is probably looking for them?

Being a fairly large and busy community, we find ourselves under attack from spam with ever growing frequency, so we're now running quite an aggressive anti-spam system. It's actually been in place for a good month or two, so I'm sure you'll agree it's doing fairly well at going about its...
