Hi all so ive been having a few issues with my petrol (none turbo) 2001 a3, let me list the problems; 1) low oil - had a full service about 5 months ago and had to put nearly a full 5l of oil in the engine yesterday...bit worried by this 2) had to top up coolant as it was at minimum levels...

Hi guys Just a bit of clarification needed I am looking to buy a driver side headlight for my 8l facelift A3 as the one I have is grubby, starting to let moisture in and the lens wobbles (the bracket that holds it seems to have broken at the weld some how) Been looking on ebay for a...

I don't know. I will have to wait and get my hands on a multimeter over the next few days. will likely update then

I assume the high level brake light has standard bulbs as ive not fitted any LEDs. when I check the wiring later I will get a multimeter to them to see if there is something amiss. thanks for the diagrams - much appreciated

yes, I had both clusters out when changing the bulbs, everything on the clusters work except the brake brake lights. I will check the black and red wires when my OH gets back with the car. I cant imagine tho that its a wire fault at the clusters, seems odd to have a fault on both of them, should...

yes it has esp and no warning lights on the dash either for bulbs (or anything for that matter)

no tow bar and yeah the two filament bulbs are fitted. I suppose I will have to check the wires at this point. the bulbs work (one of the filaments anyway) so power is getting to the cluster and to the bulb, just seems to be no signal to turn on the braking light...odd

bump for a little help

ok slight dilemma on this - ive replaced the brake light switch, switched out the bulbs and checked the fuse (fuse 13 correct?) and still only the top brake light works....whats going on cos I don't know what it could be.

@LemonS3 - HA yeah I checked the fuse. all seemed in order. guess I will be ordering a new brake switch. thanks all

Hi all, simple problem, both brake lights are not working (except for the eye level brake light) I changed the bulbs in the clusters to no avail. Could it be the brake light switch if the eye level brake light is still working?

^^ouch - that puts things into perspective...

UPDATE: spent 3hours banging and spraying with penetrating grease and prying with a screwdriver (only thing narrow enough) today and finally removed the mount from the corroded bolt. annoyingly i was able to undo the rest of the bolt with my fingers - it was heavily rusted and I was worried the...

ok cool, is there any particular length bolt I need? may actually ring local audi centre and see what they have

You are correct, I have sheared the bolt connecting to the sub frame (the smaller ones, my mistake) As 16Klappe says I think it has sheared in the mount itself so I may attempt to remove the other bolt and grab the sheared bolt with vice grips. anyone know the type of bolt so I can buy a new...

ur only on one bolt still? ive stopped work on the mount, dont want to risk shearing the other bolt removing it, so the bushing will have to wait for now

bit of a crisis - I have sheered off one of the bolts that connects to dogbone mount to the tranny whilst trying to replace the bushing. im probably going to take it to the garage to get the bolt removed and retapped but I thought id ask if im ok to drive whilst its only being held in place...

hey guys, I have a few minor jobs to do between now and xmas. I need to replace the thermostat, upper tie rod and suspension bushings and dogbone. Is it best to buy the stat and tie rod from Audi? or does anyone know a better place to buy I live in sidcup area but will be in leeds in 2 weeks...

Whats the deal with this warranty?! whey are people having to pay 20% on what should be free? am i missing something? what sort of a warranty is only partly honoured? I ask because my car has a few small patches of bubbling paint on the roof and will be calling Audi this week BUT would rather...

So the friend of a friend has been. car up, wheel off. I have bent the wishbone something proper. the shock is leaking. thats it apart from worn arb bushes and a slow leak from the gear box but he seems to think these are unrelated issues. For a pair of shock and topmounts, new bushes...
