    Pipe attached to diverter valve come off

    Hi I thought my car felt rather flat driving home today. I checked the forge diverter valve and the pipe normally attached to the top of it has split and come off (as well as the metal clip that kept it on). I cut the split bit off the end but now I can't re attach it. The pipe hole is...

    A3 1.8T (1999)- REVO S1, for sale

    True, but even before a REMAP this engine is normally driven quite hard anyhow. Just wondered whether it's worth mentioning on an advert? Are there enough people out their looking for a REVO'd A3 on autotrader? Would I just be better off selling the car as if it were a standard 150bhp.

    A3 1.8T (1999)- REVO S1, for sale

    ok cheers, Only mentioned the v power on here to suggest it's always had decent fuel put in it rather than supermarket. If I put in autotrader I think I'll remove the V power bit. Not sure if it's even worth me mentioning the REVO SP1 to be honest, it may put more people off because they...

    Knackered Driver Information System

    mines been doing this for months. I had a long journey in it with the climate control on all the way and this seems to have fixed most the screen- dunno if the CC had anything to do with it (dehumidifiying the air etc..) has been ok now for the last few weeks..

    Turbo pressure noise under acceleration - help me tell dealer what to look for!

    I've had this kind of noise on my 1.8T. DV was replaced but no different. Had it remapped a year ago with revo and replaced the DV with a forge eliminator valve. Noise is still there though. I'm fairly sure that this is normal-someone on here explained comprehensively ages ago. My car...

    A3 Paint Warranty claim declied !!

    Looks like Audi have finally accepted my claim after the bodyshop spoke to my local audi agent. Audi have accepted the claim now so just got to wait few days to hear when it can be done. Has anyone convinced Audi to lend them something decent whilst they are having their paintwork fixed?

    A3 Paint Warranty claim declied !!

    Making some progress eventually! After failing to get my local Audi dealer to get my paint bubbling claim approved I spoke to Audi customer services. I sent some example photos but yet again this got declined by Audi a few weeks ago. I suggested to them that I get a local VW/Audi bodyshop to...

    A3 Paint Warranty claim declied !!

    Thanks for the replies so far. I think I need to hit my local Audi with some of these examples (don't know if a print out of this forum thread would be enough to get started?) or I need to get in contact with someone at an Audi centre who's successfully got this claim through Audi. Not sure...

    A3 Paint Warranty claim declied !!

    That sounds encouraging! You obviously had better luck with your local Audi dealer which one did you speak to? Huntingdon Audi where I went really aren't interested even though I've pushed them quite hard on the claim!

    A3 Paint Warranty claim declied !!

    I spoke to my local Audi centre to report a fault with the paintwork on my 99 Audi A3 1.8T. Bubbling paint work is appearing either side of the roof rails. There is not external damage and is blatently coming from the inside or the roof rail channel. I've seen several people on this forum...

    grining noise from wheels when they spin!?!

    Yes thanks, my car appears to have EDL. This website below allows you to type in all your equipment codes (from inside you audi or VW book). It'll then tell you what they all mean and what you have fitted to you car (not sure if it's been posted before- but useful all the same)...

    grining noise from wheels when they spin!?!

    It's always more apparmet on wet roads and icey. If i'm stationary and try to move off briskly so that the wheels spin I get an accompanying grinding noise coming from the wheels (front of the car- either side). I haven't got any form of traction control only ABS is fitted. Can anyone...

    Grinding noise when the wheels start to spin?

    1. It's a bit strange since my car does not have any form of traction control? No dash board buttons or traction lights etc...and was sold without?!? But I've noticed the same noise when starting off on wet grass and the front wheels spin slightly- you get this grinding type noise just as they...

    Grinding noise when the wheels start to spin?

    My car has always done these two things it. 1. If i'm a bit heavy especially on the greasy/wet roads at the moment I get this kind of small grinding noise from the front for a brief second as the wheels start to spin (at very low speeds). It's not the wheels spinning making the noise, but...
