Damn, I thought that might be the case.. Looks like I'll have to just send them back and get the seller to supply some RHD ones. Thanks NHN

Hi guys, hopefully someone is able to help here... I purchased a set of MY11 tail lights for my A3 from eBay and after negotiating with the seller to supply some RHD units, he's still gone ahead and sent me ones for a LHD vehicle -Frustrating to say the least as shipping took 12 days from...

Hi guys, First of I've got a pre-facelift 8P A3 Sport TDI (was an 04 plate before I exported) which I have bought a set of LED park light bulbs for -They are so bright I keep them on during the day as DRL. What I'm wanting to do now is program the car using VCDS to keep the park lights on all...

Sayam you were right about the big hammer. I was using a rubber one just to be on the safe side, but got desperate and went for a bigger metal one. Guess the bigger metal one was able make the pipe resonate more and shock it free :D Thanks to everyone who posted for your help :)

Hi Guys, Hopefully someone is able to help with this... I've got an 04 A3 TDI, BKD engine code and I'm trying to fit a Milltek decat downpipe + centrepipe + custom exhaust tip which has had the backbox removed. Doing it on Jackstands so access is a bit of a squeeze. Ive got the car up and...

Have just been looking at doing a brake upgrade for my A3. Need the extra braking power after my remap :thumbsup: Here's an old thread that discusses this: http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/a3-s3-sportback-8p-chassis/118259-brake-upgrade.html

Hi pablo, This is an avenue I have been looking down. Are you happy with the remap and the performance you are getting and have you had any issues at all? Also does this look like the same as your unit? Newest MPPS V12 Chip Tuning SMPS MPPS V12 Tuning Remap Chiptuning Can Flashe | eBay Cheers...

Hi all, At the end of last year I moved back to New Zealand and decided to ship my 04 A3 TDI back as well. While I owned it in the UK I did some minor visual upgrades as well as a set of H&R lowering springs and an EGR Delete kit. I refrained from fitting the delete kit before I shipped the car...

Sorted mine out today.. was a very similar problem that took about 15minutes to fix. As described above there is a small inspection plate on the back of the flywheel, after removing I found the edge of the shim was skimming the flywheel. For those willing to give it a go, all you need to do is...

My A3 has just developed the same symptoms described above. I'm hoping this plate is all it is as I have only just replaced the clutch. Does anyone know how easy this is to fix/whether its doable at home without too much fuss?

Have a similar problem.. When the boot is slammed it bounces off the latch. If you lower it down and let it drop it closes no worries at all. Has anyone found a solution to this? Surely the problem lies with the actuators?

I know as much as the EGR recirculates exhaust gas back into the engine to burn off unburnt fuel; An 'environmentally friendly' process that IMO does more harm than good. This is because: 1. It increases the air intake temperature resulting in a lower density of air going into the chambers. 2...

you're probably correct! I don't have a great deal of knowledge regarding the ins and outs of doing this mod, but I'm thinking wait till I get a remap sorted. The issue with waiting is, I'm moving back to New Zealand next month and the A3 is coming with me; this would be okay if european car...

@Boon, how did you reset the fault codes? The kit Ive got looks like it replaces the EGR instead of blocking.. but would be useful to know if i do have the same issue as you how to revert the change

Will do Mike =)

I am aware of this thanks Wahlstrom. What is the approximate cost of having to do a remap? If put the kit on when it arrives and don't have it remappped, is there any repercussions as such other than the engine management light coming on? i.e can I safely use it without doing any damage to the...

Hi Guys, I have just bought an EGR delete kit for my 8P 2.0TDi ( VAG 2.0 TDI EGR Roadsport Delete kit - FR&R Tuning| MAHA Dyno Rolling Road Tuning| Stage 1, 2 & 3 Engine Performance Upgrades - (Powered by CubeCart) ), I've searched the forum to try and find a thread on actually removing and...

I have a similar issue (I think) with my A3! When changing from 2nd to 3rd, it feels a little 'grindy' when you push it through the gates into 3rd. It doesn't make any grinding noise or anything and doesn't occur if you change gear gently ie not forcing the selector around it's channels. Does...

Okay so I've got an 8P1, and I'm wanting to install MY09/MY11 Tail lights. From what I gather from this thread, I would have to rewire the plugs and making some coding adaptations.. correct?

I want to do this to my 8P1, where can you get the vinyl from and how much does it cost?
