I am going to look at a 2006 A3 2.0 TFSI S Line Special Edition hatchback tomorrow with just over 50,000 miles on the clock. Is there anything to look out for? Are there any common faults on these engines which I should be concerned over? Any help on this engine/model would be great as it would...
I purchased my car insurance with Adrian Flux today as they gave me the best quote for this year. This is my first year with them after 2 years of great service from Elephant and although it's been less than 24 hours with Adrian Flux it's been a less than good service so far.
First problem was...
I have had my A3 1.6 FSI for nearly 6 months now and had quite a few problems, the main ones being a rattle on start up and the engine going in to limp mode whilst driving and the EPC light appears (which has only happened two times in 6 months and starts up fine again with no problems) but...
So I bought this car around 5 months ago and started to notice this noise about a month after, it sounds like the car is a diesel when in fact it's a 1.6 FSI petrol
It is a 55 plate and has 50,000 miles on the clock with a FSH, with the last service done when I first bought the car 5 months ago...
Yesterday I changed my rear wheel bearings and had to charge my phone via the cigarette lighter (which is a bit faulty as you have to niggle it around for it to charge)
I only charged it for around 30-40 minutes and when I finished the job the car wouldn't start so I jumped it and all was good...
I have a 55 plate (facelift) a3 1.6 FSI, the wheel bearings have gone so I went euro and got the whole hub with the bearings etc, but I just want to know how hard/easy it is?
Any tips?
Do I need to remove the big multi spline in the middle of the hub?
Any help would be great as I am...
Today I was driving along at around 30mph when all of a sudden the EPC light came on and my engine had stalled, I pulled over and started the engine again and it was fine, like nothing happened. Got the car home and the EPC light was gone.
I don't know if this is connected but recently I've...

Today I got my car cleaned at these foreign places that hand wash an wax for £5. I go there regularly and never had a problem until I got home today and found out they have broke my fuel cap and didn't bother to tell me the little tramps.
Ive managed to remove the little part and the number on...

Hi all I am a new A3 owner I have had my 1.6 Fsi for around a month now and love it.
It's on a 55 plate facelift with very nice red and black leather interior which I haven't seen in many a3's.

Hi all.
I have recently purchased myself a A3 but I'm wanting to upgrade my bulbs as the standards are so dull.
I don't want them to be illegal and I don't want them to be too bright and definitely not blue.
Can anyone tell me what bulbs I need to replace and what colour or spec etc? Or if...
