How'd you get on with this? I've got the same symptoms. Def not slipping and low bite point with crunch in review/first if you don't depress right to the floor.

If anyone is interested this was driving me nuts, another symptom was when driving if I turned the lights on the accelerator signal completely dropped and sent the engine to idle until I reapplied the accelerator, very nasty on a motorway at speed. Anyway should have just did what so many other...

The plot thickens :) 2 more things When I apply the brakes the front left parking light comes on. When I turn on the parking lights all three rear brake lights come on, applying the brakes makes them brighter. Removing the front left parking light makes no difference. So seems I have a short...

Just to add a bit more to this. When the parking/headlights are on the brake lights come on! I pulled the fuse for the brake lights (13) and with parking/headlights on brake lights don't come on. I can't seem to find a good wiring diagram, but does anyone know if this means the issue is before...

yeah sure, it's "Bulb Failure" and "Brake Light Faulty" it's the bottom two in the first column

Hi, Bit of a strange one so bare with me. Just recently when pulling away in traffic the car started beeping at me (single beeps) to which I've narrowed down too... If the head/parking lights are turned on the "Brake light faulty" symbol appears. If I apply the brakes the warning symbol goes...

Cheers for the comments. I went OEM on the bushes because this is my commuting car and the roads around London are ****e. I want the A3 to waft me on a cloud to work :D He's is currently working from his house at the moment which is why the labour rate is so low, currently sorting a workshop...

Hi All, Had the old clunking sounds all over the place so dropped the car off to get the bushes sorted with a local guy and was a bit shocked when I found out the cost, mainly the parts. A quick search and the lower front arms I'm seeing from £30-40 OEM! (the itemised price there is ex-vat) I...

worst case possibly blow by and bore wash. Overfueling -> Bore Wash -> Blow By -> Crankcase Pressurisati - 205GTIDrivers Forum I'm assuming you got new pistons? How did you break them in? The pistons will break in within 50-100miles and it's important to not take it too easy on them or the...

Cheers for that, I use Back on Track who are the other side of them a lot for my VX :)

I'm noticing a similar thing, occasionally get loss of power at about 2000rpm when accelerating. The other night I noticed the idling at 1100rpm as well, would do it until the speed dropped to about 5mph. Don't get it cruising at all through. Will need to get something to check what the faults...

If you've got an S3 or modified A3 then try definitely Competition Car Insurance Insurance For Motorsport | Competition Car Insurance They won't do standard cars or under 25's I think. But, they've been amazing price wise with my other car + you get 5 free track days!

Insurance quotes are nothing without mileage and if it includes commute or working :D

As title really, rear bushes need replacing and as much as I'd like to give it a go I think this one isn't for me :) If anyone can recommend someone or a garage who can do this it'd be much appreciated. Live in London, work in Woking so either location will do me. Cheers!

hmm... more I look around the more I think this is a job for someone else, mainly the rear axle bushes. See here VWVortex.com - How to: DIY rear axle bushing replacement, MKIV It's for a Golf M4, same same but different :)

Superkarl or Jimgrim77 how'd you guys find fitting it, possible with just a jack? from previous experience with my VX220 the OEM rubber bushes you need to preload the suspension where as pollys are just fit and off you go. Also from the above it did firm things up a lot which great for track...

Bump! Any news? Interested to hear how you go with these, just brought a A3 and getting a massive thump when the rear goes over potholes or bumps. Does anyone know how when fitting these how they compare with OEM/rubber? Not looking for more sporty/firmer ride, but would prefer to do it...
