    GUIDE: How to remove turbo and clean 'sticky' vane, which causes overboost

    Does anyone have any reports about whether this actually works or not? Would be especially good to hear from the OP.

    Audi A3 Diesel Sportback 2.0 TDi Quattro Sport 5dr (2005-2006)

    Sounds like a fair price to me. I really enjoyed the DSG box on a test drive I did, however what made me panic was that if it goes wrong it can cost a fortune. If you look at the car, make sure the gearbox oil was replaced at 40k, also at that age/mileage the cambelt (and water pump) should...

    Buying advice needed please

    Patience is the key, as others have said, at your budget it's a buyers market, ring a few older adverts, see what's sold and what hasn't. There's plenty of A3's around, especially in your price bracket, as most will only have done lowish miles.

    Service and Cruise Control Retro fit this saturday.. opinions please!

    Any money saved by doing it yourself you can put towards a VAG-COM cable (or whatever they are called now). I've not fitted it to an 8P, but did a B5 a while back, personally I enjoyed it and it didn't take too long, so would do it again for sure.

    On the good side, it's low mileage. On the downside it's 2006 missing out on the 2007 facelift (I believe), personally I wouldn't pay 9.5k, especially in a private sale.

    Hi All New to the Forum, My First post.

    Better than buying one with no warranty and finding it needs a new head gasket :)

    How did you get the heads done under Warranty?

    I'm not sure Audi ever released a Limited Edition? Looks like a nice car all the same.
