    A3 3.2 - Has anybody removed the front silencers?

    I picked up a cat-back Milltek, and while fitting was surprised to notice that the car has two additional silencers that are in-line with the cat's - they appear to be a fixed part of the car assembly. Has anyone ever removed these (by cutting I assume) and had link pipes made up? I suppose...

    Jacking up and using axle stands & 3.2 Brake questions

    Hi Tac, Thanks for the info. I guessed it was the 'guide' bolts under the caps - I undid them - but couldnt remove the damn clip! Does it just come out towards you (away from the caliper)? Regarding the jacking points it seems a lot of people use that method - but where do you place axle...

    Unable to log into Engine Control Module to activate Cruise Control

    Hi, I installed a genuine cruise stalk from Audi - I didnt run the extra 'cable' to the bulkhead as this car is a '56 and I didnt think they need it? (I had to run the cable on my 2004 3.2). I coded the SWC using VCDS and it accepted the coding for 'cruise but no o/b comp'. I can see the...

    Unable to log into Engine to activate Crusie Control

    Hi - the SWC took the coding for cruise - saying coding 'accepted' - and when I look at 'measured values' in VCDS I can go to the group that includes cruise, and it registers the button presses etc. Its the engine module I cant configure. I found an old thread on the VCDS section which...

    Unable to log into Engine to activate Crusie Control

    From my research the 1K0 953 549 AH does support it (I must admit that initially I didnt think it did). I have coded the steering wheel controller up for cruise, and the functionality has been tested using measuring values in VCDS. My problem is activating cruise within the engine module -...
