    Dead Battery Following Electirc Window Fix

    And the problems keep coming... I fixed my two broken electric windows last night. It was a simple case of disassembly, swapping the broken plastic clips for some new ones and reassembly. Everything worked fine last night; windows up, windows down, and I drove home (22 miles) without a...

    Service Display Reset

    Hi guys, I know this must come up a lot, but I've been Googleing and running out to my car for the past hour and a half... I'm trying to reset the "SERVICE" display which comes up (along with some beeps) every time I start the car. I've just serviced it myself, assuming I'd be able to reset...

From the looks (Haynes manual) this shouldn't be too difficult to get to/replace but...

    A3 1.8T won't start in the mornings - Please Help!

    Hi Guys, Knew about this problem since the first day I bought it but figured it was the battery since it had been parked for over a week in the sub-zero temperatures around here. Problem is, in the mornings, it literally doesn't even tick over. I put the key in, all the lights come on, radio...

    2002 A3 (8L) Owners Manual

    Hi guys, Just picked up my first A3 (52 Plate, 1.8T Sport) and it didn't come with the original owners manual. Any ideas where I could find an electronic copy/cheapish paper copy? I've had a look on eBay and doubt that it's worth splashing out £20 on. Any suggestions? Andy
