    Hi all, Wondering if you can help me... My near side rear window refuses to go backup up without manual intervention!! I believe the plastic clip(s) that fixes the window to the mechanism will have broken. My question is what clip do I need to purchase to fix this? Are there...

    Fuel Trim; Bank 1: System Too Rich

    -- Update -- This error tuned out to be a clogged throttle body. I had the car booked in at a Garage in the Wirral called Discount VW Audi - Very good service! This cleared the errors and the ASR & Engine Management light have been off.

    Fuel Trim; Bank 1: System Too Rich

    Hi All, Found the issue - Vacuum hose from just before the throttle body to the intake manifold was off! Shoved it back on and all is well!!! I guess the DTC's were correct and did point me in the correct direction. MAF error recoded due to un-metered air being drawn in to the...

    Fuel Trim; Bank 1: System Too Rich

    Yeah its a 1.6 8v BFQ. MAF was replaced only a few weeks ago - and it is consistent with the engine speed on the charts below. Blocks 032 measure Lambda (Idle) Self-Adaptation and Lambda (Partial) Self-Adaptation respectively. Both of which register a value of 0 - with Lambda (Partial)...

    Fuel Trim; Bank 1: System Too Rich

    Hi all, Got a chance to go for a drive today and get some logging done for measuring blocks 003 / 031 / 032. To start I cleared the existing fault codes in Engine and ABS controllers. Setup logging and went for a 30 min drive - in varying traffic conditions - with a burst on the dual...

    Fuel Trim; Bank 1: System Too Rich

    Yeah I replaced the Hitatchi MAF with a genuine WV/Audi Hitatchi 06A 906 461B MAF - £100 It is definitely connected correctly. The ESP light comes on as a result of the ECU detecting a rich running condition - I imagine to reduce power and protect the engine from damage? I think the next...

    4 wheel alignment

    Not sure I want to TBH, they had 3 goes at it and said the tracking was in perfectly and to let the suspension settle - there is no doubt that the tracking is spot on - but the ****** wheel is off to the left! Put a right downer on my weekend!

    Possibly, but I doubt it - it was fine before the alignment check and it’s got brand new Dunlop sport maxx TT's on the front.

    4 wheel alignment

    Hi All, Basically, long story short - took my A3 to have its tracking checked on Saturday @ National. Tracking all sorted - however, the steering wheel is now slightly positioned to the left when the car is pointing in a straight line - very annoying! :noway: I think this has happened...
