Hi, Does anyone know the actual OD of the heater matrix pipes? Everywhere I have seen say 3/4 inch piping will do it however I got a pair of calipers in there and it looks more like 1 inch (25.3 mm) although it is pretty awkward to get calipers in there so I could be wrong. Does anybody know...

Hi everyone, I was recently driving when engine started over heating, and coolant light came on. Immediately pulled over and checked the water, it was fine. I gave it half an hour and turned the key and all warnings had gone, considering I was quarter of a mile from home, I decided to risk it...

Hi all Just had my car in for it's MOT and it failed on airbag light not illuminating on turn of ignition. I've only had the car a couple of months, does anyone know where I should start to try and find the issue/where the fuse is so I can check. I would hope previous owner hasn't actually...

Just looked under the engine cover and saw this crack in a pipe coming from the crank case breather valve. Can anyone identify this pipe? It comes down from the breather towards the front of the car then down. Also would this be the culprit of strong oil smell in car after up to temp? It's a...

I've just recently picked up an A4 B6 Auto, and having run it until warm (approx. 20mins), I noticed a strange judder feeling, not far from that you get when wheel spinning and it's jerking and gaining grip, when pulling away. It didn't happen every time, just some times. Once it had got up to...

Hi all, I've bought an S3 8P (57 plate). Had it since February, and it's been sweet. Today, whilst shamefully driving through a maccies drive-thru with my windows down I noticed there is a screeching/squealing sound whilst under low load. It doesn't happen when the car is idling, but only when...

Hey oh! Looking for some advise. I do quite a lot of riding (down hills predominantly) and need a way of carting my bike around without scratching the s**t out of the back of my car whilst doing so. Therefor I was wondering if anyone had ever had any success in having a removable tow bar...

Hi all, Recently bought an 8P (2007), and it has a built in iPod connector (30 pin) in the glove box. It doesn't seem to be sending any power to the connector, nor do I know how to access the iPod in the RNS-E system. Mine is one that has the CD/TV option, but can't seem to find ipod connect...

Hi ya'll Quick question, does anyone have a fuse diagram or know which fuse I need to replace for reverse lights? I've read a bit up on it and apparently it could also be the switch on the gear box- if it comes to this, does anyone know the part number for this switch? TIA.:icon thumright:

Hi all, As stated in post name, when I put my keys in the ignition and turn one click I get a strange whining coming from somewhere around fuel rail/starter motor or somewhere. It lasts about 10 seconds and then stops? Then if I go to turn the engine over I just get a click? Any advice would...

Hi all, Was doing some daily chores in the A3 over the weekend. Got in the car which was at my mums house after a flying visit, turned on the car, went to put the clutch in to put it in reverse and a terrible grinding noise came when I put my foot fully to the floor. Luckily I knew someone...

Hi all, I've got a bit of a problem.. A couple of days ago I parked funny with the rear wheel on curb and front wheel not. The car was only there for a few minutes, and since then the handbrake only pulls up half as much as it used to, and it feels like it's slightly always on when I drive...

This blemish has been on my car since I got it, and it's really starting to p*** me off. I've no idea how it's there, and there is no rust or anything around it. It feels slightly bumpy, but it isn't deep or anything, and it's like a kind of yellow'y colour? Also, when it gets wet (like now)...

Hi all, back again. I've recently started getting this weird thing when I start my car (98 A3 1.8T) that it kind of jerks or something? It kind of feels like the engine is lurching forwards?!. Once it's started though, as soon as it's done that, it runs fine. Anyone have any ideas? Also...

Hi all, I've got a problem that I've had for awhile. My passenger foot wells (front and back) are always really wet. They're wet enough that when you press the carpet with your finger you can make a puddle appear. Does anyone have any idea where the water is coming from? I don't have a...
