I did think that airbags need to be head on Collision or side on. Our accident must not of been an impact on the right places for them to deploy.

Be careful buying led side light bulbs. I bought some for mine and all they did was flash as soon as the hid kicked In, I bought some more incase they were dodgy bulbs and the next set were even worse

Do they make a pillar pod for the a3 or do you have to use it off something else?

Had the battery out tonight gave all the earths a good clean up had slight corrosion on them. Now I have lost the borking when you rev it on idle which is a bonus. Now all is left is when driving put your fit down and it hesitates a few seconds then boost will come on. Not had chance to resan...

Ouch could off been a lot worse though lucky. Will try dig the pics out n get them posted up in a new post ha ha

Yeah think luck was on our side that night........well luck on the injury side anyway. Police couldn't believe we were out the car when they turned up. Truck driver not checking his mirrors!

Using vcds....gives both codes but I always use the p codes for some reason. I know the coil pack wiring has been messed about with by previous owner as its all taped up so need to give that a good check. Ill have a look under battery tray at the earths when I get a chance next. Map sensor in...

I was in a crash in a b6 with normal airbags and not one went off. Car rolled a few times at 70mph. Car was a complete wright off as you can imagine. Only walked away with whiplash

Scanned my car again and it's come up with map sensor and will not clear the code. Hopefully problem solved.

Defo think its a bearing. Be interested to know what is though. Let us know what it was

Cant see it. You get a constant vibration when flywheels have gone

If your not getting any wobble/vibrating/judder then I would say its not the flywheel. Hard to say without actually hearing it but you get a tapping noise when the thrust bearing needs doing my brother in laws is like this on his Octavian 1.8t

I had that problem and quickly developed into a big problem where it was not drivable. Get the car jacked up and wiggle your driveshafts about if they move then you prob have a knackered c.v joint. Is your car lowered?
