there are small thermostats in the seat so they don't get too hot. If you use vcds it can tell you requested vs actual heating for the seats

Although it is probably a good idea, the gen 2 haldex is a sealed for life unit meaning the manufacturer says it doesn't require any maintenance. In answer to your question, I'm not sure what grade it is but it's not much from Audi, I would do the filter too.

Happened to me at the weekend. I'm putting it down to driving through massive puddles as they are everywhere. audi charged me £29 thought.

Did my stat the other day, took about 2.5hrs. Like with most things taking it apart is the worst bit, getting it back together took lees than an hour I'd say. Part incl. coolant was about 46 from audi.

Hi, this is the one on eBay you need 180737531631 may not be the cheapest but is the right one and the 1st one that came up

I deffo be up for swapping for my 09s. Where abouts in London are you I'm near Southampton.

Thanks for your help Ash. When I get a chance I will strip it down. :beerchug: If anyone knows of any instructions to disassemble the buckets let me know. :beerchug:

just phoned Audi - each element a snip at only £91.74 each!

That's pretty much what I saw except that there was no wires visible at all like in that picture and I couldn't feel anything inside the pad fabric. Do you know if its the same design of heater pad for all seats albeit different shapes? As in, is it possible that they used a finer wire than...

The passenger seat doesn't heat up quickly... neither ever has, takes at least 5 min's id say before its at full heat but it does get hot. (shame there not like my old mans range rover burns you bum in about 30 seconds!) I did take the leather back from the bottom of the seat the other day but...

Tested the HVAC module today, everything works as it should with the engine running. thumb wheel positions etc... only thing is it is displaying the values for the opposite seats ie if I turn drivers seat down it displays I have turned the passenger down. strange. It does heat up just very...

I'll test it with engine on as soon as I get a chance. its a 2007 S3. Just thought.... I could put the seats in opposite sides to see if the seat is faulty if I can't find anything with vcds. cheers

Hi, when I looked at measuring blocks last time it was say thumb wheels were on 6 even when I selected any other number. The requested heat was 64 on both. The request heater window was saying on for a minute or so then going to off. This seemed to be happening on both seats. This was with the...

Anyone?

Have a look here http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/a3-s3-sportback-8p-chassis/159840-rs4-fuel-valve.html I bent some spanners (post 14) which means you don't have to take the manifold off. Also you go from underneath not through the manifold. once you have the old one out, put the new one in a tube...

Hi Ash, the fuse in the side of the dash is ok. Is there any others? also no codes that relate to the seats at all. any ideas? cheers

Hi, Im having problems with my heated seats. No heat through drivers seat, passenger seem ok. I checked connections under the seat with a meter got 12v through both drivers and passenger feed wires. checked the resistance I think was 2.8 ohms. I have checked measuring blocks with vcds for the...

Hi, has anyone removed the covers on the s3 bucket seats, or have / know of a how to or instructions to do it? My heated seat on the drivers seat has gone really weak and I think I have broken the element by kneeling on it to strap the kids in. cheers

You can't use a lead to get rid of this code you just HAVE to complete the test once it has been started. Drive the car normally and the ESP light should turn off. find a big empty space like a car park. press the brake hard and the ESP light will come back on flashing. This tells you you have...
