Yeah I don't even know which side of the engine bay I should be looking at :D I guess I'm just trying to work out if it's worth getting it looked at. Happy to spend £1-200 to sort but if it's going to be a day's labour to remove half the engine to get to the bulkead then I might just not bother...

Yeah it's running. All seems completely normal (slight drop in revs when i switch from econ to a/c) and nothing seems different to 4 months ago, other than it's just blowing cold. TBH i wouldn't even know which pipework to follow - the idea of feeling pipes on a running engine doesn't appeal to...

Due to Covid precautions I couldn't be in there while they were working, so not exactly sure what they did but, they had ran it for a good while and spent ages fiddling around with their laptop. I'm pretty clueless when it comes to a/c and where all the bits are. Is the expansion valve unlikely...

I don't unfortunately. The aircon guys plugged it in and couldn't find anything unusual. Baffled.

Hi all. I've been trying to fix this for a while now with no joy. Searching the forum doesn't really answer it either so I thought I'd start a thread. My air con stopped blowing cold a few months back, and I assumed it needed a re-gas. I asked my local trusted VAG specialist to do this at the...

I've had creaking since i fitted Bilsteins, Eibachs, R32 ARBs and S3Dave's tie bars 2 years ago. Seems to only happen in summer and after paying several different people to try and find the source of it, I've have given up and resigned myself to living with it!

:jump:

@Tuffty - Am i right in thinking that once you've pulled the door panel away you can access the main door speakers? Need to replace my passenger side Bose one as it's got all farty...

Ah brilliant - cheers! Looks spot-on.

Ah ok - couldn't see that anywhere on the Xcarlink page. Assumed it replaced the CD changer when using the HU. Cheers :thumbs up:

Yeah I've got the BOSE Concert system with the changer in the boot. Ideally I'd like to be able to connect my iPhone but also be able to play CDs occasionally. Am i right in thinking that it might be possible to use the Connects2 thing that you linked to, but set up some kind ofswitch that...

Sorry for the thread resurrection, but I'm looking to sort my S3's soundsystem out this spring. Are you saying there's a way of connecting an iPod/iPhone and still keeping the multi-changer functionality?

Just ticked over to 65k. Mileage really isn't everything. I'm seeing the same issues that most 13 year old cars have!

Thanks to Sam at Sky - great service and great quote!

Saw your car at B5 at the weekend - it's in good hands!

Town driving is never going to be that economical in a 1.8T. Short journeys, cold starts etc etc. I average about 23 around town, but easily see 35 on the motorway.

Try Streetwise in Whitehall - pretty reasonable and friendly

You need one of the other A3 forums mate: A3/S3/Sportback (8P Chassis)

I'm genuinely interested in how people get these figures! I never got 40+ on my A3 TQS, nowhere near that with my S3. Other mates with Mk4 Golfs, A3 1.8Ts and even a NA 1.8 A3 aren't getting that.

Me too. ~25-26mpg, mixture of very short journeys and longer motorway missions. I'm sure it'd go down if I was driving like a grandad or did longer journeys. I don't know how people are reporting 40+mpg. Nobody I know with a 1.8T of any sort is getting that :/
