Hi, I've got a couple things on my 2007 a3 tdi 170 dsg (150k miles) i'd like to ask about. Since I've owned it (couple years) the aircon has been pretty bad. Today I had it regassed for the first time (it was at 30%), but it hasn't made any difference. Basically when the car is on it just...

Thanks for the help everyone. Discovered the issue and back on the road today. The instrument cluster had completely failed, having been a bit iffy for a few months. Found a company called ECU Testing on google, read their page and it described everything I had issues with in the recent past. I...

Hi, I have a 2007 a3 dsg tdi, 200k miles, owned for a few years, that has this issue. A while ago, when I put the key into the ignition, everything would light up and work as usual including the dashboard. However turning the key to start the engine wouldn't do anything (not even attempt to...

Hi all, I did try and look for other threads but I can't find this issue. I have a 2007 A3 2.0 TDI DSG, owned it a couple years now. Today, its had a very odd problem. I went to start the car, turned the key and waited for the coils. Radio, dials, light, everything came on as usual. As soon as...

Yeah I had read up about it a bit over time, even invested in a multimeter but my technical knowledge is limited. Basically just wondering what the fuse is for so I know whether I have a further issue I need to sort, for example if it was satnav/phone/tv fuse, something this car has never had...

Just a bit more information. Having checked, the fuse they have removed is F9, I do not know what it is linked to. Edit- looking in the manual it is either for mobile/satnav/tv (none of which my car has), or it's vacant.

Hi, I have a 2007 a3 dsg sportback. When I bought it a year ago, the battery was flat and seller said it needed a new one. Knocked some money off so got the car and dropped my battery in from my golf I was scrapping (correct battery). Car was in daily use so never had an issue. However if left...

Hi, posted a while ago about some issues with my car got some great help so hopefully someone can help with this. It's a 2007 a3 tdi dsg sportback I was driving to work and my car started making this horrible noise at 5-20mph, I think from the right rear: https://vocaroo.com/i/s0lHSqc9CSX5 I...

Managed to take the Car to the garage this morning, just got it back. It was the left back wheel bearing, thought it was the right from the noise. Mechanic described it as "absolutely bollocksed", sounds about right considering the noise. Thank you everyone for all your help and suggestions...

I haven't changed the battery, but all other doors unlock fine every time (well actually, the boot doesn't, I have to keep mashing the key until it finally unlocks, and the boot release button on the key worked one time (same with button on the door), and the rear wiper doesn't work, just...

Thanks for the help everyone, very much appreciated. Going to drop it off at the garage on Monday, hopefully it's safe to use until then (no other option, about 20 miles a day). Will update when sorted. Didn't think it possible but noise was even worse today! As for the battery, all wiring...

Can't see anything in the paperwork to suggest it has been done previously, car appears to have been well looked after on other regards though. Will book it in and see what the garage says. I'm in no way mechanical so it's hard for me to really explain symptoms. Hopefully they can find it, they...

The tyre guy refered to them as budget, now they are 4 Michelin. Thanks for the help, will get it booked in I guess. When i get this and the rest sorted I might have a decent Car! Is it dangerous to drive if this is the problem, earliest I can book it in is Monday and I have to use the Car for...

When I first got the Car, there was virtually no noise, it's been gradually getting worse since after Christmas. Assumed (and hoped) it was the tyres as they really were very bad. But 4 new now and no difference. Done 120k, recently did a 1k round trip with no problems, noises etc. It's so loud...

Hi everyone, Bought a 2007 a3 2.0tdi dsg sportback a few months ago, had a lot of trouble with in unfortunately. One thing really annoying me is this very loud road noise. It started a few weeks ago, faint drone. Gradually got worse until now it's pretty unbearable. Only apparent over 30mph...
