Yep, changing the ignition switch got rid of the errors that were showing on VCDS.. I actually got my mate who is a Merc Tech to do the job, and he said it wasn't to bad to do. I watched him do it and he didn't remove the steering wheel or air bags as you can get to the cowling screws by...

Less than 50 quid on here !!! National Tyres and Autocare UK’s No.1 fast fit for Oil Change Seem to remember a long thread somewhere discussing the oil they use. Seems it is confirmed as Castrol Edge Fully Synthetic, so bargain, can't buy it for that !!

Finally got round to sorting out my drivers seat belt today !! I actually took it off last weekend, as I was thinking about having it re-webbed at a place I had found for £70 + Vat. I did mean the car was off the road for most of the week though.. Thinking about it after I had removed it, I...

With the arm rest you just cut a hole in the top of the console. If you do a search you will find plenty of info on it and even the template that you need. http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/a3-s3-sportback-8p-chassis/185943-original-armrest-fitting-instructions-guide-plate-a3-2004-a.html Once the...

So how did you find the A3 compared to the Ibiza then Creatz ? I have just gone the same way, 53 plate Ibiza TDI Sport 130 to an 57 plate A3 TDI Sport 140.. I loved the Ibiza, such a fun little car, but found it a bit hash on the suspension, and uncomfortable to ride in as I got older ;-) The...

Took the plunge and picked up a Ignition Switch from my Local TPS today Part number 1K0905849B at £38.00 all in.. So, now looking to fit it.. Looked at many forums (Audi-Sport, Briskoda, TDIClub, AudiFans etc.) but still can't find any definitive information on how it is done. I was hoping...

Hi All, I have been researching an error code that my car keeps throwing up.. 00883 - Ignition Switch (D) Terminal S 012 - Electrical Fault in Circuit - Intermittent It would seem like it is a fairly common code which is usually fixed by changing the ignition switch. It would...

Had a look at this earlier.. I take it you mean login to Module 08 HVAC and then go to Basic ? I tried that, and selected 001 and GO, but it didn't seem to do much, I was expecting to see something happening? I think I saw ADP in the first column of group 001, so maybe it was doing something ...

Ok, thanks for that.. What exactly does "login in 08, go to basic settings, select 001, then go & let it do its adp calibration" actually do ? I am sure it is safe and won't screw anything up, just interested in what it does ? Thanks again.

Had a play this morning... With the passenger door open and wiggling the rubber grommet thing between the A Pillar and the door the speaker works. Deffo intermittent though, as can hear it cut out and in as you wiggle.. So, sounds like a dodgy wire or connection. Can't decide if it is a wire...

Hi All, Just done a search but not been able to find much related to Front Door Bass Speakers not working in an 2007 A3.. Both of mine are not working (left and right), playing with the fader and balance controls confirms this, as does the VCDS scan shown below. The scan says both are open...

Yep, I cleared it and it came back as soon as I switched on the ignition, didn't even have to run car... Interesting though, as the original fault that came up yesterday (3rd July) when I scanned was.. 1 Fault Found: 01320 - Control Module for Climatronic (J255) 004 - No...

Hi all, After searching for the code below, I can see it is fairly common as it often shows in posted scans. 01320 - Control Module for Climatronic (J255) 004 - No Signal/Communication - Intermittent But I can't find any information as to the cause of it. Can anyone help, and...

Yes, it is a 3 door A3 TDI 140 Sport..
