Got Audi a3 54 plate my ideal car
but there is a fault with clutch or something,when I'm in 1st gear sitting at say traffic lights with clutch to the floor the cars still finding the bite and edging forward and sometimes go to put in 1st gear and it won't go but when release clutch and do again it finds gear hope this is better

ahh, makes more sense now hmm how new is the car?, had any work recently?, how does the clutch pedal feel solid all the way?
Are these A3's Hydraulic clutches? not had mine long enough to look but if when you pump the pedal you are able to select a gear then it sounds like clutch needs bleeding
Hi really thanks for replys and bought this 2 weeks ago had it tested on computer at garage and had fault with diesel flap got it cleaned and light went off there was loads of gunk in it but after turning engine on 4 times light is back on,but apparently had new clutch 2 months ago,and had new glow plugs put in this aswell thanks
If the clutch was changed 2 months ago then maybe take it back to where you bought the car and get them sort it as it should still have warranty.
I bought private but checked it all out just annoying as only that problem and need it done and there is a lot of people on here who know a lot more about it than me so can any one suggest

exactly sounds like there is something causing the engaugement wrong fluid or mis alignment etc anything is possible
So its nothing major then as it drives really well other than that and my Bose sound system does struggle to play copy CDs and one recommend 1s that work o and mine is audi A3 TDI

its pretty major unless you fancy getting the clutch done again id get it looked at sooner rather than later, audi cd player dislikes copies yes, could always buy my rns-e sat nav unit and use memory cards they done mind just mp3 files

yes it isnt functioning correctly and i would expect it may be damaging the clutch that is installed

probably a single grill mod, rns-sat nav, interior trims, wheels, new taillights all of these have big effect on looks and are relatively cheap lots of bang for your buck

P5snd what would you suggest on getting to make my audi stand out and how do I get my back window wiper to work
Smithy, it won't be the clutch itself. Could be either the slave or master cylinder. It is fed from the brake fluid reservoir and the slave cylinder is on top of the transmission, you get at it by removing the air filter box. The garage might have let air get into the system when they replaced the clutch. It has to be pressure bled (can't do it by pumping the clutch pedal.)
If you pump the pedal 2 or 3 times and hold it down, put it in gear and it still tries to move off then one of the cylinders probably needs replacing.

one question at a time
styling is something that should be done to your own taste, wheels normally do help a lot though
as for the wiper what happens when you push the stalk forward at your wheel do you hear a noise or does it just not work? have you had a look for corrosion
So is that easy to fix and thanks as sounds like it is that,as when in 1st gear it's edges forward and happens randomly your feedback will be great
Sounds like a slave cylinder fault. Mine was leaking and I had the same symptoms. New slave cylinder, clutch, dual mass flywheel, master cylinder and £1000 later I had my car back on the road.
