Garage fitting my SMF say it doesn't fit, I've got a lightened HotGolf flywheel and a Sachs VR6 clutch. From my pics (apologies for the poor quality) the flywheel bolts all line up fine and the 3 lugs seem to locate ok however the lugs don't go right through, does this seem right?

Guys, I'm at my wits end with my car. It's a 1.8t AGU. I've changed the thermostat, coolant temperature sensor and crank speed sensor in a bid to remedy the hot start issue and lumpy idle. After doing the thermostat and coolant temperature the idle was good. I started to get problems starting...

Could a loud ticking in the engine bay be caused by a failing crankshaft sensor? I bought a replacement today but didn't get a chance to fit, hopefully will do tomorrow morning. Noticed a loud ticking/clicking/tapping which I can't pinpoint where it's coming from. Search turned up...

Evenin' I suspect I need a new Crankshaft Sensor (or Engine Speed Sensor) as I'm getting hot start issues and a jerk when I ease off the gas, part no. 06A906433L. With something like this should I go genuine VAG or are any of the 'OEM' ones (e.g. Febi) up to the job?

Evening, Posted this in the ICE section and got no replies, any thoughts from anyone who has done similar: - "I'm going to be ripping out my Bose system in my A3 and replacing it with an aftermarket unit and speakers. I have an AndyMac sub & amp combo to fit too. What will I need in the way...

Evening, I'm going to be ripping out my Bose system in my A3 and replacing it with an aftermarket unit and speakers. I have an AndyMac sub & amp combo to fit too. What will I need in the way of adapters etc for the headunit if my car had the Bose unit originally? Rob

Evening! I promise I've looked using the search function and I can't find this info. Can anyone tell me what size clamp I need for fitting a Forge TIP on a K03? I've got a jubilee clip on it just now but was never happy with it and want to put a new clamp on. As it's such a pig of a job I was...

Evenin' My clutch has started slipping so time for a G60/ABF flywheel and VR6 clutch (every cloud has a silver lining!) Is this a DIY job or would I be better paying a local garage to do this job? Rob PS - I'm on the lookout for a suitable flywheel if anyone has one spare (I've posted a...

Morning, I've been looking on the interweb for droplinks and I'm seeing a few variations, all part no. 1J0411315 but with various letters at the end for different revisions. I've got an AGU with 21mm ARB. Some internet shops advise particular drop links (1J0411315E & 1J0411315G) won't fit...

Afternoon all, I've got a 5 door and the paint on the rear door handles is flaking off for some reason. Has anyone had a similar issue? Is it possible to remove the door handles fairly easily to give them a sand down and paint? I might have imagined it but I'm sure I saw an article somewhere...

My car has developed a knock when I come off the throttle, just at regular daily speeds. Sounds like it's coming from the nearside. Initially thought it was something in the glove-box so emptied everything out of the car to eliminate this. Any ideas? Suspension arms (incl. bushes) and ball...

I'm soldering in some resistors to solve a fast flash and bulb warning light after fitting LEDs. Can anyone tell me which track is ground on the rear cluster? I'll be soldering one resistor to the track that goes to the indicator and two to the two tracks to the brake light just no idea where...

Can anyone have quick read of this to see if I have things right please? On an AGU is the catch can as simple as: - Hose from oil filter housing Hose from rocker cover These join at a T piece with runs to the catch can I'm planning on venting to atmosphere so would I use a bung in the TIP and...

I've got a split hose under the inlet manifold, would 8mm silicon vacuum hose do as a quick fix? Didn't want to take it off in the dark to check in case I can't get it fixed.

Planning on doing my vacuum hoses at the weekend, bought 3, 4 & 6mm as per tuffty's suggestion on a previous post. Noticed a slight surge on lift off so assuming leaky hoses? Is there a write up / guide / walkthrough for doing this on an AGU? Have searched but can't find anything that helps -...

Hi guys, noticed a sloshing sound at lunchtime in the car, my rear passenger side footwell is under about an inch of water. Apart from leaving the window open which I don't think I did, what could've caused this? Could it be coming up from below? Through the door seal?

Is there 'how to' guide to replacing the steering rack and front ARB bushes on a FWD A3 anywhere? I did intend on paying someone to do all the bushes on my car but rapidly running out of money so going to tackle them myself a bit at a time. I assume fitting the steering rack bush is basically...

Is it possible to remove the front shocks & springs without the use of a spring compressor? Replacing them for new ones so was hoping they'd come out in a complete unit somehow and I could refit the new ones. Not looking forward to tackling this job but skint at the moment so going to have to do...
