I must have moved some connectors while fiddling with the relays as after i pushed them into the J527 the fault was reset. However the car still wont crank? Are any of these relays related to the starter? I can hear one of them clicking when i turn the key. I also installed a wrong type of relay...

Hello everyone, I Had an issue with a fuel pump relay J17 and i went under the dashboard and swapped the relays which looked the same. I also replaced a 395 relay with a spare i had. I tried to start the car , it cranked for a split second and stopped. I suspected it was the battery but it...

I couldnt agree more. What makes it worse, the 2nd time i went to get it done , i told the guy that i dont care about the cost, do what ever you need to do and take your time. When he was done (twisting them) he told me that wasnt the problem and that i prob had a bad ECU.... I almost bought it...

I was pisd really bad about it when i found out.. It wasnt one guy who did this exact thing .. Ive sent the car to 2 electricians to do this properly but the wire being rather inaccesible they couldnt be bothered to do it properly. These days you need to be EXACT about what you ask them to do ...

I guess ill get it than :) Needs a bit of touch up and paint but i can touch it up myself and send it for paint to a proff. The pipes allready are chrome but ive bought the car and they have mostly lost all of the chrome over the years. Will definitely be replacing those. Thanks

Hello everyone, I own a 2006 A3 Sportback ( I believe its the s line bumper ) pictured below. I fould a diffuser on sale ( From an S3 ) and i wonder if this could be fitted on my bumper or would i need a new bumper? Photos posted below. Thanks

Just an update a while later... that was the problem. No further issues

Ok , an update for if someone may be reading this. I removed the connector for the license plate lights and boot handle and shorted the black/brown wire with the brown wire leading into the harness. This was to check that the problem was not somewhere else in the system. Test showed that the...

Hello everyone , A3 8P Sportback owner here. My boot handle seems to be broken but I'm not sure. So I can open the boot ONLY with the key fob. I hold the boot release button and IMMEDIATLY pull on the boot lid as soon as I hear the latch open. This works every single time. Also when I open the...

So I replaced the pump , that wasn't the problem , ended up removing the intake manifold and saw that the previous electrician didn't replace the wires properly. Just cut off the old one , stripped the wires and twisted them by hand.... I soldered the wire properly and I haven't had the problem...

I have replaced the whole fuel pump together with the sender unit but that was not the cause of my issues. I opened up the loom just above the starter and under the battery holder/plastics but every single wire looks brand new (Nothing corroded , broken , no spliced wires...) One connector was...

Fuel filter was changed around 1000 km ago (2 months). No running conditions or driving style impact the chances of the problem occurring. I'm almost 100% sure that it is completely random. I was unraveling the wiring loom 3 days ago and all the wires were in mint condition but since moving...

My problem was not solved by the fuel pump mate...

It's not the fuel pump... Sigh... I'm so sick of this thing. Ill replace the ECU now I guess.

I'm not sure which washer you are talking about. Ill send you the exact P/N for the new pump tomorrow. If you could specify which washer you are talking about perhaps I could provide pics from the old pump. I really cant take out the new one. Edit: This is the exact pump I ordered...
