    How To - Facelift Chome Climate Control Module Switches

    Just thought I'd let you know that your DIY is still going strong! The only thing I found was that I had to swap the springs from the new unit to my old unit to get the switches to operate smoothly and come back to center. But it's damn near perfect now! Thank you!

    What rear springs for my S3

    Yeah our cars just look lower in the rear because the fender in the rear comes down lower, but bothered me too, so I bought two different sets of rear upper spring seats and fixed the rake permanently. "I used 2 of these against the frame of the car: 8J0512149 - Rear Upper Spring Packing -...

    BG44K fuel additive

    Did you just do the BG44k in the tank or did you do some BG ISC through the manifold as well? The BG44k in the tank helped me a lot, I couldn't believe how noticeable the idle changed, less jerky at low RPM and more torque at low RPM. I think I'm missing power up top still which leads me to...

    BG44K fuel additive

    Has anyone tried sucking some of this through the intake manifold to get the backs of the intake valves? Kind of like Seafoam, only it actually does something :icon_thumright: I'm curious if it's safe to do?

    Central Electronic Module - Coding

    I'm having the same issue, interior leds on my nav/climate control/door switches flickering like crazy. What does setting the turn signals to 128 do? Wouldn't it be set to 0 from the factory? Mine was set on 0 on my factory unit. Any other suggestions for me?

    Electrical Issue, Brake Lights/Taillights, PLEASE help! Fault 00988

    Got it! Last question. In order to get that screen grab do I need to physically put my old 09 unit back in and then hook up to VAG-COM? I have the new P revision in now. So basically do I need to swap them back to stock to get the numbers? Or will the same numbers already be there with the 09 P...

    Electrical Issue, Brake Lights/Taillights, PLEASE help! Fault 00988

    Sorry, I'm new to all of this. Does this mean I need to put my K back in to find out the coding on it first and write it down and then reinstall the P unit? Thank you for your help! As for the taillights, I think you're right but I already sold them to someone "as is."

    Electrical Issue, Brake Lights/Taillights, PLEASE help! Fault 00988

    So I researched some other threads on this, and turns out I bought a different version of the 09 unit. I went from 8P0907279F to 8P0907279P. Will the P version work with my originally F car? I have a 2006 Audi A3 Sport with Xenon auto-leveling headlights. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Electrical Issue, Brake Lights/Taillights, PLEASE help! Fault 00988

    Feast your eyes on this! I couldn't believe this when I pulled it out and popped it open. This was definitely the culprit! Now if I can only figure out how to code my new 279. Do you have the coding I need for that? It must be off a different model A3 because my brights aren't working, my...

    Here you can see the indent. Took this before I replaced the housings. The other side got an almost identical indent..

    Electrical Issue, Brake Lights/Taillights, PLEASE help! Fault 00988

    Thank you for the reply. Yes I thought the same thing, but they indeed did indent from the heat. I left the car in direct sunlight with the back end facing the hottest part of the day sun. It reached temperatures in excess of 125 degrees, so I can imagine direct sunlight could get the lens up to...
