whatever :) ill just call it the stupid little overpriced box that broke my audi

Car has been driving perfectly since putting the injector amp back where it belongs... been fine yesterday and today, driven about 50miles with it now... so looks like an intermittent connection on that was causing the issues. Thanks again for all the help

Righty ho, had a look around today and followed the wiring loom down... hey presto there it is hanging at the bottom of the loom.... was bit fidely to put back into the airbox with that damn rubber seal, but its all back together and matches the lovely pics above now. Thanks for all the help...

Yes it is an AGU with old style coilpacks in, is this little box the thing that sends the signal from the ECU to the coilparks to in turn get the sparks firing? came accross this in my research before was considering testing it at some point for the missfire...

ahh hah, yes that would certainly fit nicely in that hole... *** where the hell has that gone, theres no cables hanging about... its either never been there since I bought it or some muppet at the garage has forgotten about it then. grr ill have a good root round for hanging cables tomorrow...

its definately been fine for at least a year, this is only a recent problem thats cropped up. Bit of a ****** really as im looking to sell the car in december due to new job and company car etc... looking to get it all fixed. Will it be causing any damage by driving without it or just slow...

Dont think its ever been there, cant say ive ever noticed anything in that area... whats one of those look like :) from the sounds of it that would explain the intermittent missfire issue then

Can the other Audi A3 1.8T prefacelift owners please have a ganders at their engine bay and let me know whats missing? My Car has been suffering the missfire issue, however coilpacks and sparks seem fine, took it to a garage for service, and the guy noticed a big hole in the side of the airbox...

I appear to be having the exact same issue, and its rather annoying to say the least, although from reading through various posts, it appears the same symptom can occur for different reasons? id like to walk through my logic with people that have had this before to see if you come to the same...

I think saying that there should be no noise is a bit optimistic? Ive replaced mine now but can still here the same noise although its very very faint. Unless your looking out for it you would never notice so its not going to bother me, and the Car definately runs alot smoother now... So Thanks...

Interesting thread, my A3 1.8T 1999 model does this as well. I always thought it was just the way the turbo works? as its my first Turbo car. Mine is a similar noise to the youtube clip, but its a higher pitch and alot more quieter. I get it when accelerating and then pulling straight off the...

nah I bought them from www.brakeparts.co.uk bought pads from them before, good site, next day delivery too

yep already got one... ta

There seems to be a brake frenzy of questions going on lately, sorry to add to the list :) Just wondering if there are any fidely things to look out for when replacing the rear discs and pads on an 8L A3 ? ive done pads before, and discs are usually straight forward, either held on by the...

http://www.shrewsburybowmen.co.uk/a3front2.jpg This picture any better? the MOT thing was concerning me from the beginning, havent got around to getting them checked yet though. But the test I did gave me a rough idea, they look fine on the dip to the side when driving and matched up at the...

your entilted to your own opinion, however wrong it is :)... I like them and thats the main thing. The picture is also pixalated slightly as it was origonaly 7mp and cut down to show here I can also see the road better now as the standard were cack at night. So worth the money

Heres some pics of the actual lights, the first one will show you wiring im on about at the bottom, the red led leads. I didnt have to adjust for RHD either, had two marks set on my garage at a certain distance, swapped the lights then got the car in the same distance and they lined up...

I was concerned about the chrome to start with but went ahead and bought them, and they look great. Makes a hell of a difference to the 8L http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SUPERBES-PHARES-ANGEL-EYES-AUDI-A3-8L-CHROMES-NEUF-LED_W0QQitemZ120154364052QQihZ002QQcategoryZ40188QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem is a...

I bought these chrome ones from ebay to fit to my 1999 pre facelift. Fitting was simple, required taking the bumper off due to a fiddley bracket to line up, apart from that, need to wire the 12v LED wires into something and the rest was plug and play...

I cant remember the exact mileage but look out for the cam belt and water pump change, think its suppsoed to be around 60k miles or 80k miles. Could help to avoid an expensive service. Most of it is looking out for the basics as with all cars...
