I have this problem too on my S3. Started when the weather got cold, had nothing changed on the car around that time though. Set at 18 or above it continuously alternates between blowing hot and luke warm (which makes the car hot in the end). I'm switching between 18 and LO to control the...
Yeah true, but to be honest I don't really fancy stripping it all down etc and I will lose the option to take it back once I dismantle the new one.
I'm taking it back, will see if they have something that matches in stock but if not its off to the stealers.
It is a 3 bar pump, maybe not for 4WD, but the others listed for my car look exactly the same on the website (maybe stock photos though so I guess I'll have to go in to a branch or just get the audi ones). Also the one I got maybe just discounted right now, as the list price on the receipt is...
OK well at least they gave me one with the sender and wiring etc. Still unsure about this other pipe - seems it maybe going to another contraption on the other side of the tank, in which case I would assume it does need to be reconnected to any new pump?
Anyone successfully changed an S3 pump...
Fuel pump packed in. I've got this replacement from eurocarparts which they said was right based on my car reg.
Now I've got to the existing one, I'm not sure the replacement is the right one. Mine has a third hose connector with a hose that heads to the right hand side of the tank -...
Anyone know how would I find out who looks after this if I wanted to register or activate it?
Otherwise was considering disconnecting and removing it... though am a bit worried that might immobilise the car!
Removed my dash earlier and found this metal box sat behind, not attached in any way, just sitting there loose with some wires going to it from the loom.
When I typed the numbers into google, the only references I get are to a tracker device of some kind. Anyone know better? Never had any...
Thanks - you mean I just need to replace this hose and I'm good? i.e. this: hose
How easy is the job in terms of getting to the connecting point (which I couldn't even see when I was looking today)?
Changed the disc and pads on one of the rears earlier and noticed brake fluid leaking from the hose where it connects to the brake line. It seems I may have bent the connection point (the bit the hose connects to, don't know the correct term) during winding the piston back as it was exceedingly...
Just about to buy some Pagid pads from eurocarparts for my W-reg pre-facelift S3. They list two sets, one says "VIN To 8L-X-200000, excl wear warning contact", the other says "VIN From 8L-Y-000001, with integrated wear sensor".
I assume I should go for the former based on the reg, does it...
Looking on the euro website, they don't explicitly say which are OEM but they do say Pagid so I guess thats them. GSF said they had Jurid or Brembo and I'm guessing from what's been said here its Jurid that are OEM.
Obviously am not a heavy brake user, my S3 has had the same pads and discs on for the last 70,000 miles! Too many motorway miles I guess.
Anyway, they do need replacing now, I got the following quotes for front and rear discs and pads (not interested in uprating brakes for obvious reasons)...
Yep the old ones have the lump too.
Just measured the resistance on the new ones after being in the freezer - 0.04 ohms. I'm assuming it will work under this condition on the (will check tomorrow). Thanks for the tip - I would have looked a bit dumb taking the car in for this!
Should've...
Hmm, I had thought that cylindrical thing (on mine this is actually in the top corner nearest the car, the connectors are in the opposite corner) was involved in the heating somehow but if you're right I still don't understand how they went hot when I first put them on. I suppose the reason for...
