    Air-con compressor has failed.... any ideas of cost for new??

    Just to add to the never-ending list of faults, my 2004 A3 now has a failed air-con compressor :( I thought it was just in need of a re-gas as the car has done 80k+ so probably had a lot of use. Basically wasnt blowing cold. Got a mobile air-con guy out who was really helpful, and he found...

    Alloy wheel touch-up paint?

    Anyone know if its possible to get this? I've got a couple of chips on the wheels on my A3 (stand 17" Sport alloys on 2004 2.0 TDi) which I'd like to touch up? Do Audi offer it?

    Wheelspin in remapped 2.0 TDi!!

    Since getting my 2.0 TDi remapped I've been finding wheelspin to be a real problem! If there's so much as a hint of dampness in the air then without really trying the traction control is on in 1st, 2nd and 3rd! Turning off the traction control seems to actually help as it cuts in so early on...

    What grade of oil in a 2.0 TDi???

    The oil light has just come on in my 2.0 TDi - but what oil do I need to top it up with?? I'm assuming it'll be something like 3W30 fully synthetic - like the Castrol stuff Halfords do for about £15/litre? Anyone suggest any particular brand, or good place to get the oil from?

    wooshing noise from 2.0 TDi?

    I get a "wooooooooo" noise from my A3 2.0 TDi at low RPM? It's only noticable from pulling off, and up to about 2500rpm when you hear a "wooooo" (pitch gets higher) noise then it seems to go away at higher RPM. Any ideas what could cause this? Was thinking maybe a loose pipe on the turbo...

    Arrghh!! Anyone had locking wheel-nut drilled off before?!

    I think one of the rear wheel bearings has gone on my recently purchased A3, and I decided first of all take the noisy-side rear wheel off and replace it with the space saver just to discount a buckled wheel... however it turns out I dont have the locking wheel-nut bit!!!! :notme: Has anyone...

    2.0 TDi smoke on startup??

    I've noticed that on startup I get a bit of smoke out the exhaust on my 2.0 TDi (it has done 79k miles) Is this to be expected? (I've not owned diesels before!) The smoke is visible from the rear view mirror. Is this just soot being blown out the exhuast? Only occurs on startup when the...

    Is a performance air filter worth while?

    What are peoples opinions on Green or K&N filters? I'm thinking about one for my 2.0 TDi sport (standard exhaust, and no plans to change it) Is it worth it? I remember fitting an indution kit to a 205 1.9 GTi in the past and the difference it made was amazing - much improved throttle...

    Where's the ECU located on 2.0 TDi?! (for remap!)

    I've decided to send the ECU off for a remap in my 2004 2.0 TDI sport A3, but I'm not sure where the ECU is located?! :think: It's not located by the battery or fuse-box - anyone know where I can find it?! Thanks in advance for the help :)
