I need to replace the vac lines on my 1.9TDI, as I suspect one or more have perished/split. Where's the best place to get them from - should I be looking for a particular type? I've seen loads for sale on ebay - anyone know if they're any good? Also, does anyone know what sizes I need (I...

Calipers are ok (ie not seized) and I don't have to brake too hard to cause the problem.

I have a 1.9TDI 2000 and about 2-3 weeks ago, braking performance suddenly dropped off. The first push of the pedal results in good brake bite, however, any successive pushes on the pedal result in really poor braking - you really have to push your foot down hard to get any braking, and even...

Using VCDS lite, so I think I only have access to groups 001-025?

It does feel like it runs out of puff! What/how do I check for a boost leak?

Hi My A3 (2000 1.9TDI 110ps - NOT PD) is suffering power loss and has fault code 17964. VCDS says the following: Possible Symptoms Reduced power output Limp mode Possible Causes Boost Pressure too Low Hoses/Pipes incorrect connected, disconnected or leaking Charger Pressure Control...

My A3 doesn't have air-con fitted, so would I still have this module fitted (because as far as I can gather, it also activates the aircon compressor)? Also where is it located?

One of the plate fuses (50a), situated in the battery fuse box, keeps on blowing on my A3. Of the 3 plate fuses, it's the right hand side fuse. I last replaced the fuse about 3 weeks ago, and having checked it again, I've just seen it's gone again. Does anybody know what this is the fuse for...

Thanks for that but I'm not sure how to search for N24-0713! Do you know how/or can tell me which group/sub-group to look under, please?

Been looking and looking and can't find it on Elsa! ie which group name etc.

DIS = Driver Information System - it's where you can press one of the dash stalks and it cycles through various checks, such as oil, coolant level etc, and finishes with 'OK'. By default it's the area where the outside temp is displayed. Half DIS (I may be wrong in calling it this) has a small...

When I thought I needed a new dashpod, and I investigated the options, the answer was always like-for-like. ie if you've got a pod with half-DIS then that's what you have to replace it with. What you can do is hook it up to vag-com, do a scan over the instrument module, which will give you the...

Looks like the battery/power level was the issue - thanks!

I believe the Onboard Power Supply Control Unit (J519?) is located underneath the steering wheel, but I just want to check and also want to know how easy this is to remove? Not sure where the Convenience Control Module is located, or how to remove it either! Thanks-advance

Good suggestion but had this one (and fixed it) before! When the seat plugs play-up, the airbag circuit is imcomplete and the airbag light stays on permemantly. So, unfortunately, this isn't the cause of my issues.........

I have an A3 1.9TDI/2000, which has an airbag issue: 17931/P1523/005411 - Crash Signal from Airbag Controller: Implausible Signal This is held on the engine engine (presumebly the one at the botmom of the windscreen, underneath the scuttle). The hazards flash, the interior lights come on...

Tried plugging in 2 fault codes readers and niether can communicate with the car (both DEFINITELY work). I checked the fuse and that's ok, and all the wires going in to the diagnostic port are intact. So not sure where to go from here.....? btw it's a 2000 A3 with OBD2.

Air bag light just randomly blinked 4 times on my way home tonight (several minutes after starting the car), and the hazards came on. Got home and did a scan using vag-com, and came up with the following: 17931/P1523/005411 - Crash Signal from Airbag Controller: Implausible Signal The...
