Hi everyone, 2004 Audi A3 2.0TDI BKD Engine, 154k. Over the weekend the smaller fan attached to the radiator wouldn't turn off and drained my battery accordingly. I read around and found that its a common fault and is often easier to replace the whole fan assembly. So I've been looking around...

Hi guys, Just moved to North East London (Woodford), I've had the chattering alternator pulley problem for a while now and have taken it to one or two garages and they've all told me they'll check the cam belt tensioner first when I hand the car in, showing they're not totally aware of this...

Thought I'd do a write-up as a while back I wondered how easy it would be to remove the aluminium surround and replace it with the leather gaiter, it also happened that the updated gear knobs were slightly nicer too. Anyways I managed to find an entire DSG gear linkage for £40 on eBay with the...

As the title suggests, my air con has just recently broken with two separate garages telling me that the compressor has gone. That's fine as I read up on it and it seems it can happen every now and then, but last night the condenser fan ran ALL night and killed my battery! The only reason I knew...

Got rear ended about 4 weeks ago, damage was minimal assumed they'd just repair or replace the bumper, the lady who hit me accepted everything so luckily I didn't have to pay my excess. So I handed it in for repair. My concern was that the parking sensors remain working, as I'd had issues with...

Hi guys, Currently an Audi A3 owner but my dad has just bought a late 2010 A6 2.0 TDI. As the title suggests I'm wondering how easy it would be to retrofit the DAB module and how I can check if the required windows are installed for the aerial. It has the HDD navigation system and both rear...

I've read a few threads about changing over the DSG gear knobs to new styles, however I have seen no threads stating how to remove the 8P1 style gear knob, this one has no gaiter and an aluminium and plastic surround as shown in the picture. Any ideas? Seen a few gear knobs on ebay and the like...

Hi everyone, I've relied on these forums a lot in the past and haven't really given much back. So here's a little bit on how I got an auxiliary, USB and Bluetooth phone connection and audio into my car. I would like to apologise for not having any pictures as I did the install a while back and...

Hi guys, So firstly my rear wiper is intermittent at best, secondly for a few weeks now the water jet hasn't been spraying, I assumed this to be because of the common problem of the shaft inside the motor breaking or blocking... Turns out it's at the front end, I pulled the lever stationary...

Hi, I have a 2000 Audi A3 5dr and about a month ago both the passenger and drivers windows stopped working. When the switches are pressed all that can be heard is a click from inside the door. I took it to a garage and the guy checked all the wiring and switches and said that it must be...

Hi, I am wondering if it's possible to fit a wider tyre than I already have on my wheels. I currently have a 225 tyre on the rim and was wondering if was possible to fit a 245 tyre on. The reason for this is that with the thinner tyres the wheel rims stick out from the tyre and are much...

Hi, I am thinking about going to get a 'custom' exhaust from a longlife branch in basingstoke, just wondering what people's opinions are of the exhausts? I say 'custom' because I know that it's a pre-made backbox put in with the specified tail pipe, but I think I'd prefer this as hopefully...

Hi, So i'm thinking about doing some stuff to my car over the summer, one of them being lowering it. I have searched around and seen quite a few positive things about the Jamex coilovers. What are people's opinions after they've been installed for a few months? I have never really...

Hi guys, Bit bored doing work and have been thinking about things to do over the summer to my car. I have some RS4 replica wheels on my car at the moment but they are curbed very badly pretty much all the way round on all of them (don't ask, mixture of brother and mother using the car and...

Hi, I bought a set of new style 18" RS4 Replicas last year and they came with crappy centre caps that are just Audi stickers on a rubbish plastic cap. Been meaning to find decent ones for ages but never got round to it. So got a £10 off voucher from eBay so thought I might as well. I've been...

Hi, Does anyone know if an exhaust back box for a 1.8t will fit a normal 1.8 non-turbo? Want to know before I take the plunge on an exhaust just incase. Got a few links for some opinions aswell. I'm looking for a relatively cheap back box with a nice sound...

Hi everyone, Got to work one day to find that none of the central locking worked. Meaning I had to lock each door manually along with the boot, and to open I have to do each door manually again. This hacked me off enough. Then driving home saw that none of the electric window switches were lit...

I desperately need help with upgrading the audio in my audi. I was wondering if anyone would be able to come and install everything i buy for me. For a reasonable fee or for free (hopefully). Or if they could just come by and give a hand. Either would be very appreciated.
