    boot lock parts diagram

    wow, thanks! Cant wait to be able to open the boot without climbing through the car again.... It's only been 3 years. Long shot maybe, but do you know if that part number comes with the white connecting clips like these or are they separate?

    boot lock parts diagram

    Does anyone have a link to one of those exploded parts diagrams for an 8L boot lock? The arm that links the handle to the lock has snapped on mine as below and I cant work out what to search for a replacement..... Thanks

    Longitudinal acceleration sensor problem

    Thanks Stuart - that's the part number I was coming back with. Went to Audi to order and they confirmed 1j2 907 632 a has been split up into 3 parts (clip, backplate and sensor) with the sensor part number now being 1J0 907 651 A. They want £180 just for the sensor and another 70 odd for the...

    Longitudinal acceleration sensor problem

    Hi All, My ABS light has started to come on... I've scanned the car and got the following error code: Searching for threads on this says the sensor should be under the glove box on my car (2000 S3 - non esp) I've taken the glovebox out and can only find one sensor - when looking up the...

    Car wont start - dead starter relay?

    Thanks. Have no way of checking as it's happened 400 miles from home! Relay or fuse would have been ok but sounds like it's AA time :(

    Car wont start - dead starter relay?

    Hi, Hoping for some pointers on this as im stuck! My car has decided it doesn't want to start. All dash lights come on etc (battery fully charged) but when turning the key nothing happens - not even a relay type click. I'm assuming it's probably a dead starter relay? But can't find any...

    S3 Insurance for young drivers

    It's because in old terms the 210 was group 17 and the 225 made it into group 18. I bought mine at 20 paying £1400 with Admiral/elephant/bell and no one could even come close. That was 9 years ago though and I think they've changed their pricing model massively in the last couple of years.

    oops! broke my ecu!

    Dont know much about car ecus, but imagine it's much like flashing a bios on a pc? If it goes down mid way through your pretty much ****ed... If you can work out which chip stores the stuff you should be able to re-solder a replacement on(if you can find one), or pull the chip/ecu off and send...

    Prawn and BigAls A3 Track Car

    Always found bucket seats feel too small when you're thinking about it and testing seating position while stationary. I'd hold off spending more money till you've driven while sat in it. Looks quality too.

    Do I - Don't I?

    Didnt think beachbuggy's would hang about long! the ebay car - No mention of rods/injectors yet he's mentioned you can adjust the arb lol. Probably worth a look, but if your going to have to do rods/injectors/map yourself you might be better off doing your own car if the big items you wont be...
