My battery went flat again yesterday, which is probably the fourth time in the past couple of years. I have the following electrical issues: - Constant drain of about 0.75 amps when the car is off and locked. - Reverse parking sensors only activate intermittently. Does anyone know what the...

Hi all, The glovebox in my 2004 A3 8P 3 door drops down sharply when you operate the open handle. Is it possible to replace just the gas strut rather than the entire glovebox unit and if so does anyone know the part number? Cheers, Jimbo

hi all, Some kind soul smashed the passenger side window of my A3 in October and stole...nothing at all. I had Autoglass replace the window and then the AA jump start it because the battery had gone flat because the alarm or light or something had drained it over the couple of days of not...

My car has 62'000 on the clock and it just went to Audi because it started making an odd noise at idle. They investigated and found that it was the alternator pulley, which they changed and (swallow) £350 later the noise is no more and my car is running beautifully again. However, Audi put...

Hi everyone, I dropped my car at Audi this morning because for about a week it's been making a nasty noise at idle, which goes away once I start moving. They have just come back to me and told me that they want to change the cam belt and that will 'probably' fix the problem. Can a dodgy cam...

This is probably a seriously dumb question but I've gone from the Sport's standard 17" Star wheels to 18"s with the following tires: 235/40 R18 95Y 225/40 R18 92Y Do I still use the tire pressures in the manual or do they now need to be different because of the new tires/wheels...

Anyone know if the standard 17" Star alloys from my A3 8P Sport 2.0 TDI DSG would work on a '55 reg A6? Cheers, jimbo

I'm about to replace the ashtray with a storage tray and I think I need to remove the grab handles either side of the gear level. I can feel a couple of holes, which I guess have screws but I can't imagine that they are the only things holding them so strongly. Does anyone have instructions on...

Anyone know what parts are required to retro fit the non-smoking pack and how difficult it is?

Hi all, I just got a cargo net from ebay, which is a genuine Audi part but I can't get the thing to fit to my A3 8P 3dr. The part number is 8E5 861 869. The part that I'm looking for is the net that fits against the back of the rear seats in the boot, not the one that attaches to the floor...

I just got a bag hook that I want to fit to the underside of the parcel shelf. However, I'm not sure what position it should go in nor what type/length of screws to use. Does anyone know? Not sure if it makes any difference but mine is a parcel shelf with a sun shade built in.

I've just had my 2.0 TDI (140) DSG remapped by Angel Tuning and the results are brilliant. However, I was wondering if there is a remap for the DSG box, which removes the hesitation and the auto-upchange in 'manual' mode?

I bought a set of OEM RS6 alloys from ebay, had them refurbed and they are now mint. Only snag is that they are 225/40/18 on the front and 235/40/18 on the back. Before I jump in and buy the rubber, can anyone tell me if they are going to fit my car properly and if I'm going to have any issues...

Hi everyone - I'd like to order some parts and am wondering if anyone knows the part numbers. I have a RHD A3 8P 2.0 TDI Sport (3 dr) 2004 and am looking for the following parts: - - Pax seat storage bin - Pax seat height adjustment handle - Parcel shelf bag hook - Parcel shelf cargo net

I have a 2004 8P (double grill) Sport and want to make it look like an S-Line. I have fitted an OEM S-Line roof spoiler and now I want to do the front. I've searched a bunch of threads but can't find exactly what I'm looking for. Do I need a whole new bumper or just a splitter?

I recently had my 2.0 TDI 140ps Sport DSG remapped by Angel Tuning. Fantastic job and the car has come alive as a result. I've also got an ITG performance air filter to help it breath. What is a good next upgrade to get some extra power without breaking the bank?

I bought a second hand RNS-E, which I absolutely love. However, the previous owner had a bunch of 'top destinations' in Germany and I want to delete them. I've been through the manual but I just can't figure it out.

My 2004 A3 8P Sport has a storage bin under the driver's seat, which contains a medical kit. Does anyone know if there is a similar bin available for the passenger seat?

I just received a set second hand OEM RS6 alloys from ebay. I have an A3 8P 2.0 TDI Sport, which has the standard 17" Star alloys, which are 225/45/17 on both front and back. The new wheels are 225/40/18 on the front and 235/40/18 on the back. I'm a bit concerned that the front and back...

Sorry for the numpty question but I had a RNS-E fitted to my A3 yesterday and haven't been able to figure out whether or not it has voice dialling from the manual. I know that you can with a MFSW but I don't have one (yet). Any info appreciated.
