ive sorted mine. Was my worst fear, water pump had gone. took me a day to save the cash of garage doing it, changed the timing belt and tensioner too. Cheers for all the advice though. Alex

yeh they not LED's, they are little bulbs, it does say in the book in halfords, they work out at about £1.50 each bulb. According to my local audi stealership if one bulb goes and gets replaced, they will all go, but mine work fine with 2 replaced. Be careful with the trim but you only have to...

I know that this is an old thread but Ive got the same problem on my '97 1.6 sport. Ive changed the thermostat for a unipart version this morning, that didnt help. So i took it out completely, the car drove fine for a round trip of 40ish miles to my audi dealer, where i bought a genuine...

Where did you get the alloys and adaptors from? Ive been looking at them for a while but with a great pic of yours on, its just gotta be done now.

I was after that item too. Mailed him first though, its off a 2001 i think. Just to let you know the score.

my '97 A3, with just one light at the back just needed to be pulled out (gently) with the help of a flathead screwdriver. One thing i noticed though, is that it doesnt sit half as nice now as it used to. Alex

Sorry for the double post, but im pretty sure that you can buy brushes seperate. I managed to get at the brushes on mine. So going to a project shop or something that may have motors might well be able to get brushes of the same size. Alex

I think i found one with German Swedish and French for £81.00 +VAT. http://www.gsfcarparts.com Part number 93498C . Would be worth a phone call though. Alex

Nor me. If it is the brushes that have gone in yours though, surely putting a new power module wont fix dodgy brushes. If it was me, and it will be me in a couple of weeks, i will be getting a new motor from GSF probably. I seem to remember £76+VAT. Much cheaper than main stealer. Alex...

Ive been searching around on the site and rest of tinternet for ages now. Still cant seem to find what i want to know. When changing the handbrake handle on my '97 A3, will any one fit the A3. Also, is there anyone that makes a gaiter and gear knob for the A3, with the push down reverse in the...

Im my '97 A3, the blower motor gave up the ghost. I whipped it out of the car and stretched the springs holding the brushes in. Temporary fix to be honest, and you've gotta be carefull when bending back the lil metal clamps that hold them in. If its working intermittently I reckon its the...

I may be being blonde. But its late. Am i right in saying that these pedals, TT covers? Will fit my A3 1.6 Sport. And i can get them by just emailing vagparts, because I can never find anything on their site either. Cheers Alex

Yeh i thought it was the blower motor to be honest. Because it isnt just when the Air Con button is on, the rest of the blowers dont work. Glad its nice and simple. And simple with the temp sensor. Cheers Both Alex

2 quick questions Just noticed that the engine temp display dial on my '97 1.6 Sport doesnt work. It used to, but now it just doesnt seem to move until i go over a bump or something, this I guess means its a faulty connection. Is this something I should be worried about, as it could just be...

Ahh yeh, could have sworn it was 4 stud. Wonder where the hell that idea came from. Cheers guys Alex

Hi, Will a set of 16x8 alloys (4x100 ET35) bolt straight onto my 1.6 Sport A3. I know its 4 stud, but im not sure bout the offset. And with the alloys being 8" wide, am i goin to start scuffing arches inside or out. Cheers Alex:icon_thumright:

My rear speakers are literally hard wired into my front speakers. Not exactly the right way to go around it. But it works, and how many songs do u listen to that actually play music through just the back speakers. Alex

I had same problem with mine a couple of weeks ago. I had a "clever" HU. All sorted now tho. But my sub isnt wired in. Anybody know a quick way of wiring it, i havent got any pre-outs on the HU. Cheers Alex

Havent long had my A3, decided that im going to service it myself. But after its done, the service light is still going to flash when i start the car, ive tried a procedure that i had off ebay to reset it, but it only gets so far (wont actually reset). After playing round with the combination of...

Hey, Im Alex.:icon_thumright: From South Wales. Just bought my first Audi. Im in uni so had to settle for an A3 1.6 Sport. Always been around VAG cars, so was destined to follow suit. Probably looking to modify it subtly, no stupid things. Cheers Alex:icon_thumright:
