Replaced CTS - temp' guage when running now shows the obligatory 90°C instead of the 60°C of the previous few weeks. Also replaced the brake light switch - sure enough the original one had failed (had had some kind of fluid leak). Spot on bez101 - many thanks once again. Couldn't have gotten...

Can do (provided car continues to drive OK...) - when's convenient?

Since buying the car in 2008, no faults until earlier last week where, on braking a touch harder than normal the ESP/ASR lamp lit up now and again ('tho disappeared on turning the engine off then back on). This continued for a couple of days until late last Friday night where, on starting up...

Thanks for your replies voorhees & abdus. I contacted halfrauds who asked for £99.99 :noway: so I called round several suppliers and eventually sourced a Bosch S4004 (60Ah with a CCA of 540A) with a 3 year warranty for £54 from Normans Motor Shop at S75 6BS. At 175mm high the terminal posts are...

Good evening all. After struggling to start the car these last few days, I had to jump start yesterday morning to get going :rolleyes: . I checked the battery and found the 'magic eye' to be clear. The manual suggests topping up the electrolyte or fitting a replacement if the battery is older...

Good Morning All Apologies for such a :gaehn: thread but I need to source a good roof rack that will fit my recently purchased 5 dr, 2001 A3 T Sport (without leaving any scratches/damage behind after removal!!!). 'Thule' and 'Mont Blanc' racks come up on internet searches but I haven't any...

Thanks for your input djakster & Clach - I'll have a root around past threads (I'd already looked at the FAQ's in the sticky section) to see if there's anything relative to my circumstances. Hopefully, as you mentioned djakster, the technical wizards will put there finger on it & I'll be happier...

Good morning everyone. New to the forum (and to turbo powered cars!), having bought a 2001 A3 T Sport a week last Friday. Unfortunately there seems to be a problem. As this is my first car fitted with a turbo, I hope you'll forgive my ignorance of not knowing something which is blindingly...
