Original (Left) ; Face Lift (Right) Effectively the indicator and rear reflector positions are reversed, resulting in a much narrower indicator on the facelift. LED tubes added around the Brake Lights bulbs, and also added into the fog-lamp/ reverse light section too. A very subtle change...

Mine flashed when the ignition electrics were first switched-on as the system performs a 'bulb check' through what is now an LED tube. The flickering only lasts a few seconds and then the tube light is stable, so maybe get someone else to turn the ignition key while you stand at the back of the...

This link shows you the routing inside the boot-lid, and also that you only need to connect the 2 boot-lid lights to the number plate lights to get a feed for the LED tubes. The LED tubes on the 2 outer lights take their feed from what was the original lighting circuit...

This is the link to the site I bought from, same message about not suitable for RHD cars. Works fine on my RHD car! Good communication, service and prompt delivery to UK (fully tracked). KUFATEC Facelift LED Rear Lights - Adapter - Audi A3 8PA Sportback

It's probably a couple of hours. Taking the boot cover off and soldering & insulating the joint is the most time consuming bit. The outer lights are literally just plug-&-play once they are out, but can be a bit tricky to get out if you haven't done it before (watch the video if you haven't)...

My understanding is that this isn't an issue for the Sportback model as the lights are symmetrical (2 fogs, 2 reverse, etc); it said the same thing on the web-site I bought from and mine are fine. You do however need to fit the loom(s) labelled right to the right (drivers) side, and left to left...

No, there is no coding to do at all, the Philips control unit is completely stand-alone from the ECU. My simplistic understanding of how it works is that the ECU senses a "voltage drop" or some similar voltage signature from the altenator when the engine is running and switches the DRL's on...

I found this this thread really useful when looking to fit DRL's. I personally prefer DRL's to be located away from the main light units to avoid confusion with indicators, etc. so like the fog-lamp grill location. Clearly Audi designers don't agree with me on this point and are probably...

Good luck with the install! If you follow the instructions, and just take your time I'm sure you'll be fine. Just don't force anything when removing or installing the light units. Lower the boot lid carefully to check everything is in the right place before slamming it shut, etc, etc...

My camera / camera skills aren't really doing them justice with the night shots! Do a quick Google Images search for: 'Audi A3 Sportback Rear Lights' and there are some really good pics day and night.

With help from the information posted on the forum and on the net, I have just successfully installed 2009+ face-lift rear lights to my 55 plate A3 Sportback. Most of this information is already on the forum in various places, but while it's fresh in my mind I've tried to pull everything...

This NISMO Technician demonstrates how to pull 200Nm + 180 degrees!!

All credit to the Technical Team at Haynes. I sent them an e-mail about this point, and they were all over it. They were already aware of the issue from a Golf: apparently, the 12-Point non-ribbed bolt has been introduced retrospectively. Really surprised and impressed by the prompt response I...

Fitting Eibach Sportlines - SEAT Cupra.net - SEAT Forum This thread is really useful and lists all the tools you need.

Thanks for the help and feedback guys, much appreciated! After much trawling of the net I found this Golf workshop manual which confirms the Torquing procedure. The torque value and angle are the same for the new 12 point bolts (part no. WHT005437) as for the old 6 sided bolts: 200Nm then...

Have a look on e-bay, Honda Bristol are on there and next day delivered me a VARTA battery for £55.99 It was identical to the one which came in my TDi from new! Same spec and even looks OEM... ....not that you see it under the cover! Audi had quoted me £130! Worth giving them a call to see if...

Has anyone fitted the Eibach Pro-Kit to an SE Sportback and kept the original SE shocks (and run it for a descent mileage)? If so, 2 questions: 1. How did the Pro-Kit ride compared to the original SE set-up? 2. Were there any problems with the shocks having run them with the Pro-kit springs...

Hi, I'm looking to correctly torque the main driveshaft/hub bolt on a 55 Plate 8PA, A3 TDi (BKD) Sportback with DSG. As far as I can establish, the car would have originally been fitted with 26mm Hex (6-sided) bolts. I believe this bolt has since been superseded by a 24mm BiHex (12 point)...
