    Service time! What do you use?

    Interesting. I'm right in thinking if I start to use fully synthetic I can't go back? Still not sure which oil to do yet, she's coming up to the 200k mark and still going strong. I have decided to flush tho, my theory being if there is sludge blocking a leak there is nothing to stop it being...

    Brake problem

    Yup, done struct mounts when I did shockers all round. And have done a fluid change recently too. This feels really does feel like warped disks but I've changed them?

    Faulty S3 Electric Window Fix

    nice thread well done. :icon_thumright: I need to do this on my A3 when Mrs Roo lets me have the car. I've already had a quick look with the door card off and also noticed that the winder cable is slightly frayed. So while looking to order the clips online I cam across this kit. I was...

    Flip Key Question

    Why do you need to know the Mhz of the key? But if you do, just find somebody with a frequency counter. My guess is it's probably somewhere around 27megs.

    brake judder

    I have the same problem on my 1.8T. I thought it was warped disk's (still might be) but the disk's look brand new and the green stuff pads only look a few months old too. Also the ABS light sometimes flash's up on the dash, so last night I took her round the block with the ABS fuse removed...

    Servicing my car?

    I too have serviced all the cars I've owned, usually the weekend I pick them up or the weekend after. I serviced the Audi last weekend and gave her a couple of new ball joints too. The only difficulty I had was removing the oil filter, which a hammer and screwdriver soon fixed. I think if your...

    I need a key for my A3

    Do you know where I can find info on programing the key myself? And will this program the imobiliser too so the car can be started with the spare key? Would be a waste of time getting one from ebay if I can't find the info too use it :uhm:

    What else can it be?

    Ball joints? Loose caliper? Are front arms tight? Had a problem with my mk2 golf years ago, in that a captive nut that had come loose in the chassis meaning I couldn't tighten my front arm properly. Just some thoughts

    I need a key for my A3

    I have now found the key.(the mrs likes to look for things without moving anything) :) But would still like a spare just incase it happens again. Could I buy a blank off ebay and then only be charged £50 to program it?

    I don't know much about the concert headunit as mine came with a jvc, but if the concert have RCA's on the back of them you could of use them with a 3.5mm jack to RCA lead. I use a mini disc player with a cassette adapter in my works van. Maybe you could try that?

    1.8T service

    Hi everyone, I bought myself a 2000 1.8T at the weekend. This weekend I'd like to give her a service and was wondering which oil and plugs to use? I used to use Castrol GTX Magnatec and NGK-R's in my other cars but would this be ok for my A3? Any info appreciated Thanks Roo
