    What have you done to your A3 (8p) this week

    Start/stop not been working consistently for ages now and chalked it up to regens/dpf but seemed like it should do it at least some of the time. Had a hunch recently it might be the battery as still the original (2011). Bought a new varta battery last week. Went to fit it Saturday, got the old...

    Upgrading washer jets to fan type

    Probably already checked but are they seated correctly as mine were pretty tight to push back in..... maybe the whole unit is pointing up slightly? Mine are just below mid adjustment and spray mostly on thr screen but since does go over the top (found out with roof down :D )

    What have you done to your A3 (8p) this week

    My washer fan jets arrived on the weekend and i did a test of popping the old ones out. Super simple! Shall put the new ones in tonight when i get home. Think the shims were if you wanted to fit them to previous gen, or maybe pre facelift? Shall try to remember to comment later once mine are in :)

    What have you done to your A3 (8p) this week

    Well as I've been doing a bit more driving the past 12 months the service icon chimed up a little earlier, so took her in for the service on friday. Bought the plan which covers this and the next service so cost a little more than usual. At the same time i got them to fit the 4 new tyres i...

    What have you done to your A3 (8p) this week

    Finally got round to ordering a new drivers side mirror indicator as the current one was cracked :( So picked it up from Audi at lunch and hopefully fit it over the next few days. Looks simple enough, just a bit daunting all the wrenching of the actual mirror to pop it off :neutral:

    Flashing coil light on dash on my Audi A3 1.6 TDI

    I had similar happen to my 1.6tdi. Just cruising into town, pulled out of a junction then limp mode and coil light fishing. Pulled it over and left the engine off for 2 mins. Then was fine.... Then happened again a few days later. Took it to audi and they diagnosed it as the egr system. Think...

    What have you done to your A3 (8p) this week

    After successfully changing the front pads with a friend a year or so ago...the rears and discs needed doing so decided to save the cash from audi and do it all myself(with my friend guiding me). Once you've done it once it seems so easy to do! Will always do them myself now and maybe attempt...
