Thanks for replying Johnny, I think your right as I think I remember thats what failed last time. Does anyone know what this sort of repair would cost or any reliable places to get this repaired near Staines in Middlesex? Cheers Mark

Hi, I have an Audi A3 1998 1.6 Sport. My clutch pedal went flat to the floor while driving and now the clutch does not work at all as it does not spring back up when I release my foot. I have been told that the rod that goes from the clutch pedal to the diaphragm has gone right through the...

I Have now replaced the water flange on the right hand side of the engine block so the coolant is no longer leaking. Unfrotunately this has not fixed the problem as the car still overheats so it would seem the leak was a symptom of the problem rather than the cause. I did not replace the...

Thanks Rob, I'll check this tonight when I get in from work

Thanks for replying, unfrotunately I have no way of testing the water pressure, I'm just a guy with a haynes manual and a few tools to replace minor things! Looks like I might have to take the car to Walton on thames Audi and get them to have a look at it although they wanted £75 to diagnose...

It also does not look like water has mixed with the oil.

Not sure what all that font times new roman stuff is, heres the last bit without all the gibberish! The coolant is coming out between the engine block and water flange on the right hand side of the engine when it boils. I will be replacing the water flange p/n 06A121133D as it has clearly been...

Hi, I'm having problems with my Audi A3 1.6 Sport 1998 model overheating when in traffic or when idle and need some help. engine code is AKL. I have replaced the temperature sendor and the thermostat but the fault remains. This only seems to happen when it is warm (even when not...

Thanks for the reply, the oil level is fine and the engine sounds like normal. I'll drain it out tomorrow and see if there is anything in there that shouldnt be. Cheers

Hi, While driving to work this morning the red oil warning light came on. Am I right in thinking this is the oil pressure warning light? I changed the oil and filter about a month ago but I did not turn off the oil service message which has been coming up when I first turn on the card for...

Don't worry, I found it on the RIGHT hand side of the engine with a connector plugged into it coming from the throttle body.:banghead:

Hi, I am having trouble finding the temperature sensor. The haynes manual does not show me where it is. From the internet it says it probably as small green thing that plugs into the left side of the cylinder head but I cant find it. My car is an A3 1.6 Sport 1998 model, engine code AKL. Does...

Hi, I need some help! I have fitted a new throttle body to my 1998 Audi A3 1.6 Sport but the car is now idling at 1500rpm instead of the usual 800 or so RPM. I have tried two new throttle body's (one is a cheap copy, while the one in it now is a VDO part) and this happens with both of them. If...

Its def a 'Sport' model, I should have got a 1.8 Turbo instead though-Live and learn!

Yes I sorted out the stuttering problem. It was mainly a faulty spark plug. For a few days it was going really slow. I have replaced the coil pack, all four spark plugs and all four ht leads. I got all the parts off ebay for about £10 each. When I went to replace them I found one of the spark...

Thanks Shy19s I'll give that a try today

Also forgot to mention, when I accelerate hard sometimes it feels a little less powerfull than normal as though it is not accelerating as fast as it should.

Hi, I have an S reg Audi A3 1.6 Sport and have been having a couple of problems with it. The first problem is that when I start the car the rev counter stays on about 1200rpm for about 5 minutes and then goes back down to normal (about 900rpm). If I turn the ignition off and turn it back on it...
