    3.2 Timing Chain.

    Exactly my point lol. Of course all engines have weak points but the 3.2 is a REALLY expensive weak point. Timing belt on my current car was £350 from the dealer, no where near £2500!

    3.2 Timing Chain.

    The problem I'm having is I know I could find one with chains with no rattles, but they could start rattling soon after buying, not saying they will let go, but rattling alone is not good. Then if I do need to change them it's going to be expensive :(

    3.2 Timing Chain.

    Thanks. Seems a little of putting now as 04/05 A3 3.2's are all getting old now and racking the mileage :(

    3.2 Timing Chain.

    I've done a search but couldn't find exactly what I'm looking for. At what mileage/time does the cam chain need replacing on the A3 3.2? I've been told by a private seller of a 3.2 that he checked with his local dealer and they told him they never need changing; they last the life of the...

    I think you miss understood what I was asking :( I know yours is DSG so for you to use sport mode you just put the transmisson into the one below drive? But if you have a full manual S Line, how would you put it into sport mode because all you have is 6 manual gears?

    What if it was an S Line with only a manual gearbox? How would you activate it then?

    Help needed!..3.2Q DSG Hesitant engine ~ 2k rpm

    Has anyone with a full manual 3.2 had this problem solved or only people with DSG? There was a reply earlier in this thread from someone with a full manual who couldn't get the hesitant update because the dealer told him the ECU was too old. I'm currently looking to buy a 3.2 and probably would...

    I've seen S Line models, so if stated as an S Line it will have sport mode? Is this activated by just a button?

    What year is your A3? I wasn't aware there was a sport mode? Never seen any seller advertising their A3 by stating it has sport mode?
