    Windscreen 'washer' jets - are your's rubbish too?

    Glow Plug Relay for 170TDI - design fault?

    Some of you 170TDI owners may interested I'm currently waiting for a new glow plug relay from Audi for my 2 week old A3. Interestingly it will be a different/modified version of the part from current which suggests a recognised weakness in the component - and hence an unspecified wait. The...
