Confirmed noise was coming from DPF pipe/ Exhaust pipe - the metal sleeve that connects the two pipes had rusted through so the pipe from DPF side was hanging loose; as a result, the weight of it caused a small 'crack' where it further joins up in the DPF (Flexi-pipe?)(image attached and...

Doesn't feel like it's the clutch, it pulls nicely in all the gear with no lost of power. Clutch was replaced back in March 2015, with a warranty of 2 years so i will ask for it to be checked over next week. Marek196c, it's unlikely due to cold engine, it's never sounded this noisy :(

Hi and Happy Christmas! Wanted to see if anyone can relate to a problem my A3 encountered. Last week in the freezing cold weather, drove up a steep-ish hill and rev'd to 2.5k RPM in second gear, then afterwards noticed the engine was louder than normal. There is this evident noise that gets...

Blackfire sealant for me on ibis white. Easy to apply and buff off, quite durable as well. Problem is without good lighting you may struggle to see areas that still need buffing off

Thanks for this, much appreciated mate, looks like the right part, if only I had this part in hand when I took the bumper off !!!

one more photo, hopefully you see what I mean

Turns out the Dual Mass fly wheel was the culprit, new dmf, clutch, slave cylinder all LUK for £850 by Mr Clutch in High Wycombe, also comes with a 2 year warranty or 20k miles which ever comes first. Was very skeptical but they have done a grand job, technician there named Chris has worked...

Haha now imagine using a jet washer to mix it up

Just a thought, with any high quality car shampoo added to a bucket filled 3/4 full, place the nozzle tip of a jet washer into your bucket and blast away, this is a very effective way to mix the shampoo and create lots of suds. Repeat procedure as required to create more suds

Just called Audi Slough, they have stopped price matching. they're gona call back with a quote for clutch and fly wheel replacement. AVIT in slough are quoting £850 for the same job.. my local trusted dealer can do it for £708. I can't imagine Audi doing it any cheaper
