Yes, the both still lift up togather. If you can imagine with the seat folded as forwards as possible........the seat back is actually loose from the base. The seat back locks into position and this is ok. When the back is locked to the base, both pieces then move together in a downwards...

The gf got out the car last night of my 3 Door A3 and left the passenger seat folded forwards. Today, I get in and go to put the chair back but it does click in place and keeps popping back up. I have examed both seats and worked out that there is a little hook on the bottom that rotates when...

Went to fit my HU today and when fitted, i get static and interference from the front right speaker only. The cables i have from autoleads are all correct as the back speakers work. I was left with one red block with a single purple wire on it and the brown spade ccnnector that I assumed was an...

It matters because I feel the car looks asymmetrical and crap from behind with just one light. No one said anything about using them when it was not foggy :) Thanks for the help Scotty

Went to replace my rear fog light bulb as I thought it was out. After buying a bulb and fitting it into the circuit housing (which did not have a bulb in), it turns out that the actual hole in the plastic of the lighting unit is blocked up! This obviously means that I can't fit a bulb in the...

The tubing seems like rubber but could be silocon based due to it being a pipe located in the bonnet? I'm gonna have a look on eBay and see how the tubing you recommend compares to what I am using. My suspicions were raised when I realized the original item has some kind of woven nylon outer...

I fitted the Forge 007 recirc valve today and noticed that the smallest pipe attached (is this the vacuum pipe?) was too small to attach to the nipple. In a stubborn attempt to jam the pipe on, not only did I split and fray one end, it was so brittle that it snapped off at the other. To solve...

Hi, wanted to fit my old head unit into the audi 8L 1.8T. Can someone direct me a decent face plate and whatever wiring I would need? Cheers!

Had a look on my MOT advisory and it says that the drivers rear brake caliper is binding (only advisory). lol may seem silly but how likely is this to be the cause of my problem? Does sound like its coming from the right. Anyway I can stop it from binding just to solve that issue as it is...

Cheers for the replies guys, well it happens regardless of conditions and it turns out the rattling is at 1.25 - 1.5k revs not the 2 ish that I said before and it ONLY happens at this range, regardless of gear and only when driving. I think its the engine making the heatshield rattle in very low...

Anyone happen to have an ignition barrel wiring diagram so I can try to work it out tonight as I have no plans :)

I have noticed when looking at exhausts, down pipes and sport cats on ebay, sometimes they also include cars like the Leon, TT etc in the title and say that it fits them too. Is this actually the case and can I broaden my ebay/web searches by looking for exhausts advertised for other "golf...

I was wondering if anyone knew what was rattling when I press the accelerator. It only seems to happen at low revs, doubt anymore than 2k - 2.5k and is not specific to turning or gear. I have a feeling it could be a heatshield somewhere but as I am new to my A3, I wanted to know if any one has...

To my understanding, a silencer is just a part of the exhaust that is made to reduce the sound levels and for most drivers, as they want exhaust sounds reduced, the word silencer is/was used to account for this noise reduction. For racing, sound is not always neccessary but as some like it and...

Ive look around at various threads about start buttons and a lot seem to over complicate the matter. In my old car, I simply put a stainless steel push button which essentially took over need for the key to be turned to the final position to actually start the engine. I just need all the...
