Anti hi-jack...so simple, I can't believe I could not remember that... Can OBDEleven add it? I don't recall seeing it ...

Hi all. Firstly, hope you are all safe and well. On my wife's old 1.9tdi (2002), the central locking would lock the doors as you pulled away. It would engage at around 5mph. I think it was a factory option as I don't think the car was ever modified (intentionally). What was this feature...

Sorry...I meant aerosol can of paint...

Hi all My car is now not worthy (economically) of a full body shop paint job, but there are bits that I would like to at least touch up and have a go at DIY repair/maintenance once all of this lockdown madness is over. Where is the best place to get a good quality can of base, paint and...

Tuffy … if you say there is no advantage then I will go with that! There seems to be a difference in opinions. Right. so good quality OE/OEM it is... Thanks

Hi All I have a suspected bad coil on my 2003 1.8t. I want to use this opportunity to upgrade to the 2.0L packs (potentially the tfsi one), but all the threads I find are old. Aside from Awesome GTI, who historically been great, but I have not used them in over 15 years I can't find a source...

Hi all Mods: happy for this to be moved to ICE but 8L knowledge is great here hence the questions! So bought a kenwood double din to fit into my 2003 1.8t sport. I bought what I thought was the right harness (CT20AU09). First problem was there was no power to the head unit. After a lot...

Factory immobiliser Can I scan for fault codes if I can't switch the engine on? I only have a OBD Eleven to scan for faults. I hope that can do the job. Thanks

Hi all I am trying to install a Kenwood DPX-7000 into my 2003 (8L Chassis) 1.8t Audi A3. - Could be one for the ICE section, but knowledge here seems to be great!!! MODS please move if you see fit. I have the Autoleads CT20AU09 harness (which I believe is the right harness but correct me if...

Hi all I am not sure why (yes I do! it is those damn Snap On videos on you-Tube! Best way to waste time online!) but I got a want for a 3/8 snap on stubby ratchet. I cannot justify the costs at this point (even second hand one feels too expensive @ £50), so I started looking at...

Hi All After many years away (life got in the way...) I finally got a chance to get my hands dirty again. Interesting to see how technology has moved on (DAB, 2x Bluetooth with auto pairing... mind blowing) over the years and how the costs have come down! Anyhow, I got hold of a kenwood...

Thank you! Car is 2003, A3 1.8Tsport. Mods - None that I am aware of. What is SAI? thanks

Hi all. I treated myself to an OBD Eleven kit just before Christmas in the hope that I was stay with VAG in coming years and it seems to be a very useful tool. I wanted to try and look at a constant 'emission control system' warning on the dash. OBD11 gave me the following codes but google...

Thanks...how do I trim the trim? Mmmmm....

Hi All Thought I would ask you guys before going to the ICE section. I have bought a new aftermarket double DIN stereo and looking to replace my Audi Symphony (I think) unit (also Double DIN). Now, looking for the adaptors and cage and trim etc, I thought I might as well buy the packs...
