    Climate Issues

    Just posting a brief update to my climate issues. It's been in to the garage and they've narrowed it down to the compressor switch or the compressor itself. Apparently they're unable to determine which of the two it is so given that the switch is the cheaper of the two parts I've opted to have...

    door micro switch

    The door closure sensor is part of the door lock mechanism so if you do need to replace it you have to replace the whole lock mechanism. The fixes suggested previously do work... for a time. The time they'll work for cannot be quantified. I didn't have any success with WD-40 or GT-85. If you...

    Rear window washer not working?

    Just undertaken this fix myself. Mine had come uncoupled in the trunking located in the engine bay. As a footnote for S3 owners - to remove the trunking lid to get at the coupling on the washer pipe you first have to remove the strut brace. This is simply a matter of removing 3 nuts per side on...

    S3 Noob

    Very unlikely... I've had a myriad of performance cars prior to this one including a Porsche Boxster and a BMW B10 Alpina. All of which I threw far too much money at modifying. I'm actually enjoying the car in its standard guise... for now! Never say never. Thanks for the link.

    Climate Issues

    Hi Grant, many thanks for the reply. Yes I forgot to mention in my first post that I did check the DTC's via a basic OBD Checker and it returned error codes 16955 and 18057 which I understand both relate to the braking system so probably not connected to this problem. I should add that the car...

    Any help please! A4, B7, Avant 2.0 140 TDV Starting Problem...

    Hi Phil, I'm no expert so hopefully somebody with greater technical knowledge of your particular model can help. With that out of the way I think Relay 106 has something to do with the ABS rather than the Immobiliser. If that's correct than that's not your issue. Suspect more information would...

    S3 Noob

    Hi all, just a brief message to say hello... Hello! I'm relatively new to Audi ownership and have a series 1 S3 which is currently developing faults quicker than I can fix them. Being honest I've joined the site to pick the brains of other owners who may well have experienced the problems I'm...
