Afternoon folks I'm considering getting rid of my A3 with another littlun on the way and money being that bit tighter these days. OK, spec is as follows: 2001 on a X plate (facelift) 58,000 miles 1.8T sport 3 door Climate, and Bose (for what its worth ;) ) Full (ish) service Recent rear beam...

I have just had my 2001 T Sport back from the bodyshop after i was driven into. They had to replace the front bumper, o/s wing and headlight, o/s strut and bearings etc, respray the bumper/wing and o/s door, refurb the alloy. Total came to about £2400 odd not including the hire car i was...

where abouts on the amp? Again, thanks for your help!

At least it is 'normal' to have the extra bit of travel before the brakes bite

Right, just been out for a little play as i haven't had my car for a month. The buzzing is only on a certain range, especially speaking, so if there is a silent moment, there is no buzzing. I have checked all speakers, by moving the fader and balance around, and while the OSF is by far the...

OK, had the amp out and all solder joints looked OK. Tried a new (secondhand) amp that was confirmed to me by Ash_S3 that wasn't buzzing, and that still buzzed. What else can i try? as this buzzing is starting to get on my wick! Any suggestions Andymac? Thankyou!

I have finally got my T Sport back after it being repaired for a month, and have got used to the Meriva hire car in the meantime. I'm sure my brake pedal was like this before, but it feels as if there is an inch or two of pedal movement before anything happens, and then the bite is slow, but...

Hi Ceefna Its not of any help to you, but I have been getting exactly the same fault codes as you, and i'm sure i'm not getting anywhere near the mileage to a tank of petrol that i used to. As far as i know i have the standard injectors, so that is the only difference. I plan on doing some logs...

The DV was replaced a year or 2 ago, so it shouldnt be that. I've got vag com so i'll hopefully be logging blocks 32 115 and 116 at somepoint over the weekend. Ive looked for split hoses, but couldnt see anything, mind you it was only a quick 5 min look in the office car park! Thanks for your...

My car has thrown up the 17705 fault code that relates to a boost leak somewhere, it looks like the ID of the pipe that the MAF attaches to is about 70mm. I have looked in both Wickes and B & Q for some type of cap that i can pop in there with a valve on to pressurise the system to hunt the leak...

Only problems I've had is with the drivers side rear belt, putting a child seat in, the seatbelt enertia reel thing kicked in and wouldnt let me pull it out any further, and it was getting tighter and tighter on the childs seat. Had to unbolt the buckle from the chassis and let it go all the way...

cheers chaps! i'll take a look and hopefully get it sorted in the morning

Hi all :cold: Hoping to fit my HIDs over the weekend, but just taken a look to see where i can mount the ballasts, and there doesnt look much room anywhere! If anyone has fitted them, where did you mount the ballast? Thanks! Guy

Mine has also developed an annoying rattle somewhere between the blower vents in the centre of the dash and the screen demister. The aircon has also developed a 'clonk' somewhere deep in the dash that only happens within a couple of minutes of the car being started, this is then followed by a...

It is possible that you have bent the clips out of shape, or the tiny little rivet has broken off and the clip has moved. I managed to make a mess of my top clips on my Symphony head unit, thankfully i was still able to use the keys on the bottom ones, but had to pop off a bit of trim in the top...
