    Rear shocks

    Thanks, I thought that'd be the case. I'll have to get some from some else. Cheers.

    Rear shocks

    Hi all I ordered a pair of Amtex rear shocks for my 2000 (w reg) A3 8L Quattro from GSF.... I have tried to fit them them this morning and note that the top eye is much smaller than the one I removed and the new one fouls on the top mount. I can get it on but it rubs on the mount. I have just...

    horible clunking grinding noise only in rain!?

    To be honest Bradderz I'm not sure. I would have thought they'd have just stuck a standard one on. I'll check the bill when I get home. But yes that's the sound exactly, like a wheel bearing or stuck on brake calliper with no pad left! I thought I'd killed it. Switched the car off for a minute...

    horible clunking grinding noise only in rain!?

    Sorry to drag up a very old thread, but this happened to me this morning. Drove through a puddle and suddenly a horrible grinding and shaking through the car and underneath. It sounded like it was coming from the front wheels, so could be a cv. However the rumble under the car made me think its...

    Window regulator - I've been a spanner

    I've got the old dodgy window regulator issue on the drivers side window. I took the door card off and started having a poke around to see if I could see the broken clips. Anyway, got a bit carried away and started talking the torx out of subframe had bit of a jiggle about. I didn't really...

    Drop Links

    Thanks for the info. No the Haynes doesn't cover the Quattro but I thought the only bit that wasn't covered was the transmission for the rear wheels. The first guy I spoke to said drop links for the anti roll bar 'per end'. As I say I'm only guessing he meant front and rear....should have...

    Drop Links

    Hello folks. Long time no post. Car is 'W' ref A3 8L Quattro I've had a clonking from the front end and been told the drop links need replacing. I was quoted £120 'per end' which I took to mean front and back. I tried to book it in at another garage that were doing some work on my...

    Hello

    Hi Kwistof. Yep, sorry an 8L. I'm having a couple of issues with it at the moment though: http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/a3-s3-forum-8l-chassis/194444-hello-newbie-some-issues.html I've got someone coming over to plug it into a computer, so hopefully some fault codes will come up.

    Another Newbie. Proud owner of a Azure blue, W reg 1.8T Quattro. I've been looking for a decent Audi forum for ages, and this place looks like it fits the bill.

    Hello! Newbie with some issues!

    Hi there, I've had a 2000 W plate A3 1.8T Quattro for about 5 months. I bought it as a 'sensible' car as I was moving jobs and wouldn't be taking the train anymore! As much as I love it, it's anything but sensible. Goes like a stabbed rat, but drinks like Oliver Reed! Still I knew thats how nit...

    Drivers Window still wont work

    Yes, sorry about that. I found the board via google. I didn't realise i was in the wrong place until after i'd posted. Still, the symptoms are the same, so even if the parts are different I'm pretty sure the fault will be similar and I'd be pointed in the right direction. Thanks, I'll try and...

    Drivers Window still wont work

    Hi Newbie digging up a three year old thread! Just017, Did you ever get to the bottom of this? I'm having the same problem with my 2000 A3 1.8T Quattro. The driver's window packed up on Monday. I can hear a clicking when I press the switch, but the window doesn't move. I pulled fuse 38 out...
