My apologies. I have looked on ebay and Autotrader for what it may be worth, but none have changed hands recently.

I'm asking here as you are far more knowledgeable about A3's than me! I love my W reg, year 2000, A3 8L AGU 1.8T Sport and always thought I'd drive it until it couldn't be driven anymore. It's my daily driver, it has an MOT until March 2023 & 177,000 miles on it. My mum bought it in 2004 at...

I'm still looking for a set of alloys, ideally with tyres, for my standard Audi A3 (8L) 1.8T sport Correct details 5x100 PCD 6.5Jx16 ET42 205/55R16 91 V Tyres Centre Bore 57.1mm Thread size M14 x 1.5

My first post was wrong as i got those sizes from google (wheels size.com) I then looked at the full size alloy spare wheel which has 6.5J stamped on it. So updated the info on my wheels in a reply. The Nottingham wheels may not be much better than my current wheels, so looking at other...

Can i fit wider wheels on my standard a3 8L 1.8 T sport I've seen some 7j et31 off an audi TT

Ha, they are worth more than my Audi! In fairness the wheels on my classic are also worth more than my daily driver! Poor old audi, has done me proud.

Thanks so much for that. I hadn't seen them. A friend has just been over from Nottingham, he could have delivered them for me!

Apologies it looks like the wheels I need are 6.5J x 16 ET42 Couldn't work out how to edit my original post

Im after a cheap set of alloys (ideally with tyres) to replace my current ones. Audi A3 1.8T sport. 8L. Year 2000 Currently on 16" wheels, but happy to replace with larger if they will definitely fit. They don't even have to be audi wheels Current wheels/tyres 5x100 PCD 7Jx16 ET31 205/55R16 91...

Yes 4 hours plus the heater matrix It drives well, but is a W 2000 car with 170k on the clock serviced every 10k/year, so engine is good,loads of history and work done, but car is old so various things need doing each year. MOT due in March Front discs probably need doing at MOT Alloys are...

I've had a look as best I can. I can't see any obvious issues with those pipes. No wet carpet or damp around the centre console. I'm pretty sure my issue is the heater matrix. I spoke to my mechanic who said he reckoned he could do it in approx 4 hours, I mentioned trying rad weld first and he...

How would I check those? I doubt it's that though as we have owned the car since nearly new, so know who has done what to it since 35k miles

Thanks for the link, I'll have a look. No air conditioning on my A3

I may well give that ago. The car has been nearing the end for sometime, but I love it and it still drives well. Equally I can't justify spending a fortune on it

Thanks so much for the reply. Damn that sounds like a huge job, it may not be worth it. Car still drives great, but a few issues need sorting now and it may signal the end of the road. Is there any work around like some leak repair fluid, that would mean the dash doesn't have to come out...

Hi my poor old a3 8l is struggling to demist the windows. Its standard heating / no air con. At first i thought it was rain getting in the pollen filter as one of the plastic rain deflectors has broken off and I couldn't work out how to re fix it. Now I'm not so sure. When the engine is hot...

I'm pretty sure I've got a power steering fluid leak. Pipes look rusty and it's started to make a whirring noise! Is it easy to get replacement pipes? Does anyone have the part number by any chance? W reg Audi A3 1.8T Thanks for looking Paul

thanks. I will do that. I haven't quite found my way around yet

Greetings After years of driving company cars I acquired my mum's old W reg 1.8T sport 5 door, which she had owned from nearly new. It's given me years of great service, but now various bits and bobs are failing. It's done 152k miles, has some dents and scratches, but still drives like a dream...
