According to Parker's Guide, rear electric windows on an A4 are only available on V6 models - is this true? Koonl

Hi all, I'm selling my A3 1.8T for an A4 Avant ready for the new baby. I really would like an 1.9 TDi (130) or 2.5 TDi in automatic or semi-automatic, but I'm finding them few and far between for my budget of upto £10k <80k miles on a 52/53 plate, with all the features that I require. Going...

At times, the fan blower doesn't come on at all when the engine starts, other times it does. If it doesn't, it can kick in at any time out of the blue. This is with air-con or or off. All the signs on the display light up as normal, but with no fan blowing. However, I only just discovered that...

Hi all, Running the OBD from the climate control on my 98 A3 1.8T, I'm getting 18.1, then 18.3 which is "Fresh air voltage sporadic". I ran the diagnostic after noticing a squeaking noise from under the bonnet when the cooler was on, either with the aircon on or not. I thought it was just...

Hi all, I'm lookng to sell my A3 for an A4 as we have a baby on the way. I've had the unfortunate situation where my A3 was broken into and the TomTom nicked, but I'm holding off buying another until I get an A4. I want to get an integrated Satnav solution, be it an Audi or aftermarket kit...

Hi everyone, I've read loads of threads about which model A4 Avant is better, but IMO, it all depends on what you as the driver want out of it. In my situation, I want to lose my A3 1.8T for an A4 Avant for the following reasons: - I play golf regularly, and have an electric trolley, and want...

Hi All, I've got an A3 1.8T which is unmolested, mainly because I know I want to upgrade to an A4 Avant Tdi in the near future. I plan to chip it but not sure which model to go for. I want the model that improves the best from a chip or remap, and be able to keep up with the big boys like...

Hi guys, I've got a silver A3 which is a bit scuffed with swirl marks, a mixture of light to medium scratches and a couple of dents that a couple of dopey drivers have put in, guess at a car park. Anyway, I called out a dent repair woman who said it really needed a bodyshop job as the dent was...

I pulled my stereo out to see if I can get to a live wire to tap my Snooper into. After chickening out putting it back, I realise I scratched the front facia just below the stereo housing. I guess the rear bottom corner of the stereo scratched it as it was hanging vertically down. Without...

Hi all, After being chuffed with myself wiring in my snooper to the fuse box (and saving £50 from Hellfords to do it for me), I'm ready to "hardwire" my TomTom Go. What I want to do is keep using the supplied 5v ciggy adapter that came with the TTG, plugging it into a 3-way ciggy adapter which...

Anyone got any tips on routing the cables and where to site the receiver? In particular, looking to put the controller on the console between the front seats, just in front of the gearbox surround, and the mic on the roof by the interior light, but I'm not sure how to route it all. All I need is...

I have got my self a 3-button remote and have programmed the lock/unlock button to my 98R A3 1.8T. Is there any way of programming the third button for the boot release? If not, I'd rather fancy a 2-button remote - can you de-program a remote from your car so that I can sell it on? Thanks

My washer pipe for the rear windscreen is split in the engine bay somewhere - it's leaking somewhere under the airfilter area. Does anyone know how I can get access to the pipe, or have any diagrams of how the pipe is routed from the washer pump to the rear windscreen? Thanks

I can't find an A3 Hayne's Manual - heard there isn't one. Is the VW a good enough alternative, and for what chapters or areas? thanks Koon

My R98 A3 still smells like a new car as if from a showroom - how do I maintain that "smell", is it a particular cleaning product or is the filters that do it? Thanks Koon

Hello everyone, this is my first post to the forum, but have been skimming through for the past week since I bought my A3 Turbo privately last Friday. The car's great, and the help on the forum's is also fantastic. I have a few niggly problems with the electrics: both the boot lights and glove...
