    Engine management light on with fans running and 2 fault codes. HELP?!

    Hi, the other day i noticed when i started my car (2004 2.0 tdi) the engine jumped to 1600 revs before settling at normal tickover 8-900. Like i had started it with part throttle. Next both the fans on the radiator were running at full speed even tho the temp guage was still at 50 degrees C. I...

    8P Buying Advice

    I have a 2.0 tdi (140) with a remap, speed wise theres nothing in it with mine against a standard 1.8t motor. Although with the diesel the instant torque at low revs is good. They do lack in top end though. The only problem i've encountered is the clutch has started slipping in mine, thats with...

    Cheapest place for a new clutch?

    My clutch has recently started slipping in 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th. Its not that bad at the moment, just when I floor it at around 2k revs (peak torque) the revs shoot up faster than the car. The cars a 2.0 tdi with a remap. Is the extra £200-300 over a standard clutch worth it for a sachs...

    S3 Tyre Question?

    Then you'd have 3 tyres with 4mm on and 1 with 7. Thats worse than having 2 on the same axle a bit out isn't it?

    S3 Tyre Question?

    If all your tyres had 4mm left on them and you got a un-repairable puncture on one, would you then replace all 4?

    How long will it last?

    How long is a piece of string? Which A3 with which engine? I'd expect most modern cars to exceed 200k tbh.

    S3 Tyre Question?

    It's just common sense and logic. What reason is there to change all 4? So theres the same tread on each tyre? in 10000 miles time you'll be in exactly the same boat, rears don't need doing but fronts do, so you'll have been driving with un even tyre tread depth anyway. Personally i'd have...

    Where are the glow plugs? (A3 2.0TDi)

    Well it's up to you obviously but I think it's just a waste of money. Worst case scenario............car is hard to start.

    Where are the glow plugs? (A3 2.0TDi)

    Loads of modern Diesels throw glow-plug faults, mine did when I first had the car, it started fine and there is nothing wrong with it, since I had the fault cleared it's not come back. Infact mine was cylinder 3 aswell. If it starts fine then I wouldn't worry.
