Hi Folks, I've had some issues with the air con / climate control system in my a3. The main symptom is that when its set to low or a cooler than ambient temperature there is no cold air and theres no click sound from the clutch when it's activated. I've had an air con specialist look at it which...

The servers are up, and im absolutely nackered after a near 5 hour journey home, half of that was just in london

under normal circumstances "shielding" would make zero difference to the signal delivered over a HDMI cable. What shielding and other technologies that these over-priced cables protect against is interference of the electrical charge caused by external interferance. For example if you have a...

Ooooo, free time to pimp my servers ;) I play a bit of tf2 and look after a couple of servers (they are broken at the mo but im going down to london to go fix at the end of this week) so any of you fellow tf2 gamers want to add 217.64.127.90:27025 and 217.64.127.90:27045 to favourites they...

im 23 paying just short of a grand (fully comp) with zero ncb on an a3 1.8t currently with tesco but im due for renewal next month so will be shopping around myself (and keeping an eye open here for any good sounding deals)

One thing to check, as mines currently broken and its not a lack of gas (at least what someone told me) when you start the ignition or air con there should be a "click" type sound coming from the engine bay. I don't get this sound which i'm told meens that a piston or something might have ceased...

I dont meen to make any negative points towards the revo mod i trialed, I did really enjoy the sudden boost that I found but I wouldn't expect the trial to give a false impression of the remap. After all mines a totally different car and I've no way of knowing how any mod for your car will work...

Just had mine done :) in comparison to the revo trial I had a few weeks ago the acceleration is a lot smoother throughout the rev range. What I found with the revo is that you get a sudden surge of power that tailed off a bit earlier whilst with the p-torque remap the power increase is smooth...

Hi James, I've got my A3 booked in with Will at P-Torque on Friday morning after a friend had his seat (mumble mumble) remapped there reccomending them. I'll happily report back once it's done if I can prise myself away from behind the wheel that is.

Cheers for the tips guys, from what I understand from people ive spoken to the p-torque remap is cheaper but doesn't boast as big hp gain as the revo but it should be a much smoother power curve and the torque is much the same (and i can get the DV with what i save and even someway towards a...

I've had this problem recently, when I had the revo trial done last week this exxagerated the problem which turned out to be a dodgy coil pack according to the vag com and swapping coil packs around showed the fault on different cylinders. NB you don't need to actually buy vagcom just find a...

Hey, I had the revo trial done this weekend on my 1.8t a3 and loving it. It's not been on the rolling road but the performance difference is very noticable all through the revs and after having this done im pretty certian im going to get the full job done. I had a couple of questions before...

As far as i'm aware there's no way of connecting a ps3 online without either the ethernet cable or wireless. I use a router so connect straight from the ps3 to my router and it's away. If you only have a usb modem to connect to the internet from your pc you either need to replace this with a...

I find staying off the boost in my 1.8t a3 makes a massive difference to the fuel, if I stay off the boost I get 300 miles from a full tank with my route to and from work which is town driving and dual carriageway average 30mph over the journey. I've had over 400 miles on the motorway before...

Just an update as my cars been looked at, the fault identified and it gets sorted tomorrow morning. I ended up taking it to my local dealers (beechwood audi) and as i'm quite happy so far with what they have done am giving them a free bump. Turns out it was running "lean" caused by a split in...

Hi Folks, My engine management light came on today on my way to work, in my 2001 a3 1.8t. The manual says that I should take it immidiately to my nearest audi dealer but is this something that most garages can check or just audi dealers? I would like to find a garage close to where I work as I'm...

Fiat tipo 1.4 (L) Renault clio 1.2 (S) Ford Ka 1.3 (03) Ford Focus 1.4 (55) Audi A3 1.8t (Y) <- current I can't claim any ownership of the fords as they were both family cars and shared with younger brothers, the only thing i miss going from the focus to my a3 is the handling but I get over that...

Cheers Andy, I think im going to go down the route of replacing just the head unit with one that can play mp3 cds and show the track info. off to the ICE section now to find out about whats hot and what's not in the world of head units!

Hi, I currently have an alpine CD changer in the back of my a3 1.8t which I guess was fitted as standard as its connected to the stereo in the front. I'm not sure which model as I cant find the manual for the changer at the mo but I want to replace it with the CHA-S634 so that I can play mp3...

Bit of a long one (and a bit naughty!) but funny (at least I think so) joke: A little old lady, 90 years of age goes to the the central bank of the bank of england. She says to the cashier that she would like to open a bank account and because of the large ammount of money she insists on seeing...
