Hey guys,
Could do with some advice as usual. My A3 2.0 tdi 140 (remapped) turbo blew a couple of months ago. It really went pop and then came the james bond smoke screen came out the back and then loss of power. It was duly towed to our local garage (not audi).
The broken turbo was replaced...
Moving to the dark side chaps! Got a 60 plate 335d coupe coming in a couple of weeks. The A3 is staying within the family however as its been a real trooper over the last 3 years.
For £3,000 I would want a parachute that deploys from the rear of my car in emergencies! ;)
Bit overkill for a 170hp diesel me thinks although would definately look the dogs.
I personally love the grip of the PS3 but after only 6,000 miles the tread is nearing the point where im starting to think they dont wear well and I 'mostly' do motorway miles!
Thanks Cimic / Crunchie!
I heard that EBC can be troublesome from the lads at GFS Parts. Although some people swear by them on here!!! So ill give them a miss, even though I have greenstuff on my fronts atm :s
Will the Black Diamonds combi be worth the wedge?
Still wouldnt mind the nice big...
Best gate opener I've ever had experience with is the Target LT 450. It opened the gates at our house automatically and had another feature which helped my license. It was shown on fifth gear a while back fitted to a Volvo T5.
Gents your expertise on brakes is required again!
I have tried to get all info by searching other threads but i still need a little more info.
I have a 2006 a3 2.0tdi 3dr and desperately need the entire brake setup replacing as im at 101,000 miles and have only replaced the pads since buying 3...
Gents (Nige + Nath) your expertise on brakes is required again!
I have a 2006 a3 2.0tdi 3dr and need the entire brake setup replacing as im at 101,000 and have only replaced the pads since buying 3 years ago at 16,000 miles.
You have mentioned above that the R32 / S3 / 3.2 brake setups are...
Trust me you'll realise the car is gutless once you've had the remap on for a while. I cant believe how slow my car is in standard. My car: A3 2.0TDI 140 DSG.
No it hardly makes any difference. I cant tell the difference between my original OEM brake pads and the Green stuff pads I have now. Just hang on till september chap!
Nice colour mate but honestly that is well over priced.
The original purchaser clearly chose the audi exclusive interior which gave the two tone leather, non perforated gear stick and removal of s-line badge on steering wheel. An option of just over £1000 i think.
I know cus my car is exactly...
I second that comment Aiden. The remap changes the car from being good to excellent. I had my car remapped by Superchips 18 months ago and everything was fine until today, where the Turbo went Pop!
I had the car towed to an independant garage and it turns out not only had the turbo gone but its...
Can anyone tell me the best and cheapest place to purchase the new facelift rear lights for an 06 Audi A3 3dr?
I have tried the Audi stealers but they are quoting over £100/each light.
Any thoughts?
There has got to be a reason that Bugatti and Porsche now have DSG in their cars when they could quite easily just offer normal auto or manual. Its probably cus its better! I love my dsg and I would never consider going for a manual now! Glad you made the right choice.
Right things have now gone from bad to worse. Obviously no garages are open over the christmas period so i have had to use the car. The car doesnt start very often, it just ticks over and doesnt turn on but when it does it starts with the Emission light (engine icon) on and it stays on after...
Guys I forgot to mention. There were some error codes when I had VCDS plugged into my car when Hazzy Dayz were fitting bluetooth into it.
00716 - Air Recirculation Flap Positioning Motor
01403 - Glass Break Sensors, Rear
Any ideas?
Btw, anyone know why I have a sudden drop in mpg as well...
Thanks everyone - Ant, I tried looking at the errors through the bluefin. I plugged it in and went to extras and I only saw immobiliser. How do I get it to show me the fault codes?
Hey Peeps!
Im in need of your help once again. It seems my car is having a midlife crisis.
I have an '06 Audi A3 2.0TDI (140) DSG bluefinned!
I have just had the cam belt changed as I have reached 85,000 miles. Everything seemed fine after the work except there seemed to be a sudden...
