Hi All,
Been looking about on here and cant find the answer.
I have an A3 Sportback 2008 S-line. Recently my rear tow eye cover has disappeared (fallen out or stolen) and I need to replace it as I need perfection :)
I've been to audi spares and they say I need part 8P4807441 at £17. That's...
Hi all,
I have a standard sline 2008 A3 2.0tdi 140. I'm looking to get it remapped to 170-180bhp.
I had a friend who used Angel Tunning and was impressed, but they are a bit far from me in Cardiff so wondered if there's anyone closer that anyone could recommend? i.e. in the south wales /...
Are these the right ones for a 57 plate a3 sportback sline 18"? FALKEN TYRES / CAR / FALKEN ZE912 ZIEX FALKEN ZE 912 - Car Tyres - MPV Tyres - People Carrier Tyres - 18" R18" - 225/40/18, 225/40 R 18
Just noticed a bulge in my front left Pirelli side wall :(
Only had the fronts a few months.
Took a round about a tad fast last night and had an oversteer moment, think that's where the bulge happened!
Like the look of the falkens, is this the correct tyre for a 57 plate a3 sportback...
Took the car into the audi dealer today.
Faulty drivers side motor. Going to be replaced under the approved car warranty.
Yes!
Ps. and that's why I bought from a main dealer!
Thanks Guys.
Would this be covered under the used car approved warranty?
Typically it only happens now and again so the chance of it happening when I take it in is low!
Hi All,
I have an A3 140 sportback 57 plate. Under approved audi dealer warranty.
I have an issue where my driver window gets confused. Sometimes I will go to auto close it and when its fully shut, it just keeps trying to close i.e. you can hear its continuously pushing up. This stops when I...
Hi eveyone,
5 months later and the banging developed into a 30mph+ drone / humming sound. Finally had something the local garage could diagnose. turns out it was wheel bearing!
I was convinced it was coming from the driver side front, but turns out it was the driver side rear.
The hub was...

Think I will go for standard, as no plans to get it mapped or anything.
Also I think i'm gonna live with it as it is for a while as I only do city driving day to day so sont even experience the problem.
Update #2:
Done another 300 miles home and the slipping problem is back....gutted!
Maybe it never went away and it just seemed to be ok on the roads i was testing it on.
Strange though, when I noticed the slipping getting bad i tried switching ESP off and then on again and instantly it...
update:
i cleaned off the white/yellow gunk and did 300 miles today. At the end of the journey it hadn't come back at all. So head gasket seems fine!
Must have been short journeys and condensation as many people suggested here, so thanks!
I also had a slipping clutch, which i first thought...
Update on the clutch slip:
Just done 300 miles and my clutch slip issue seems to have disappeared!!!
Maybe the clutch had 'glazed' up with the cold weather and short journeys i do. I havent seen any hint of it coming back, so fingers crossed.
Is it possible the clutch plate could have...
Update:
Just been to see Jeffers999 and went for a quick spin in my S3. He only lives 10 miles away!
He thinks it's a wheel bearing sound.
I also noticed on the way back that it seems to happen more when I'm going round a left hand bend, when the weight is on the right side of the car...
Thanks Smich, great response.
I'll try and describe the noise further:
- Only noticeable over 40mph and on smooth roads
- Thumping noise is intermittent, but rhythmic with the car speed when it does.
- The banging isnt fast enough to be related to the wheel revolutions.
- Some passengers...
Is there anyway this intermittent thumping / banging sound could be related to my clutch slipping?
They both have developed at the same time roughly, which makes me think they are related. Could it be the flywheel?
Or is it likely I have 2 problems at once?
I've also got a slipping clutch issue at the moment, so I'll be getting that replaced after xmas.

Just tried all the wheel nuts, they all seem very tight.
I might try and make some make shift ramps over xmas and see if i can spot anything lose under there.
Anyone got any more ideas what the noise could be?
It seems to differ from lots of posts on here as it's only at high speed and on...
