Bump, can anyone tell me what to check?

Quick update, after reading another thread where they tried turning the ignition on and off several times before starting the car (apparently to prime the fuel pump or lines) I got it to start this morning without the noise lumpiness and lack of power. This was 5 times on off before starting the...

That is great thanks,

I find the reception suffers and sometimes does this on mine if I have the cheap ebay USB adaptor plugged into the lighter socket to charge my phone............

Found this searching for replacing speakers, so at least I know how to start..... AndyMacs guide for the door card (http://freepdfhosting.com/a6b33703ba.pdf) Thanks

Do these cars have hydraulic tappets? I've had issues with other petrol cars where they didn't "pump up" properly until the cars been running a few minutes. Didn't loose power though it was just a noise on those. Thanks

Bump to top Also, found a few threads looking at possibly fuel delivery, saying it is a seal on the fuel pump?? Also possibly a battery related issue. Can anyone clarify please? Thanks

Hi, can you point me at some pictures of the regulator and how to replace? Any idea of costs involved? Thanks

Hi Drivers side electric window made a horrible noise when lowered yesterday, then went up just and now refuses to move. Motor is working and can get a few mm of movement maximum. How do I dismantle the doors on a convertible to inspect and hopefully fix the problem myself. After a quick look...

Hi My A3 has developed a new problem (couple actually but different thread for the other). It's a 1.9tdi 2008 model. It starts perfectly whether hot or cold but after a cold start it runs particularly rough and is noisy and down on power. it cures itself after a 10 minute school run, but has...

Hi Can someone who has swapped a bulb on a rear light cluster of the convertible please tell me how to get the cluster off the car !! Admittedly it is dark but it's not obvious from a quick look how to access the bulbs. Thanks

What is the URL for TPS?

Tried this only sat on the drive - no difference with it plugged in or not at idle or revving on the drive - do I need to go round the block to test properly? Also, looking at my service history/receipts the problem started a few weeks after having the fuel filter replaced, is it worth checking...

My 1.9tdi has just clocked 90k miles and there are a few things need doing to it. I'm considering doing some of the work myself instead of using the local garage(first time for 10 years) so can anyone point me at a "how to" for changing the cabin/pollen filter, the oil and filter, and I may look...

Can someone point me at a picture showing where this is so I can try this please.

Hi, the fault code was for the MAP sensor so I've replaced the 2.5bar map sensor in the intercooler pipe and had the light reset. EM light came back on first time it juddered afterwards. Same fault when codes read again. Are you saying I should look at the MAF next? Thanks

Hi, thanks for responding, I've had it scanned and the only fault showing was the MAP sensor as above. Any other ideas?

Help, my 2008 1.9tdi has an intermittent fault where it has a sudden loss of power as if you had taken your foot off the accelerator, power loss can be a few times in a 2 mile trip or it can go a few hundred miles between doing it. When the power cuts off it looses power completely and revs drop...

Hi all, Just joined and this is my first post. I'm on my second A3, first one petrol 1.6 and now have a 1.9tdi on a 58 plate. I have a job requiring 40k plus miles per year so am looking for some tips to keep the car as reliable as possible as I pile the miles on and what big bills I should...
