    esp problem/(haldex (?))

    thank you. i need to get that done. so i tried the awd by lifting the car and it seemed to work, but shouldn't rear wheels disengage when you apply handbrake even the slightest? mine didn't until the the brake was fully on. I guess thats a different story and probably would be due to faulty...

    Thank you for the answer. I haven't tried it being off, but the headlight actually moves a bit but doesn't stay up, or sometimes even get up at all, just tries to. I even tried to take the motor connector off but the manual height control didn't work. Could it be that what needs to be fixed...

    Audi s3 wont start! Help needed!

    So... My battery was like 6v so it was out allright... Should i remove the central locking from the boot to prevent it from shortcircuiting? Apparently someone has broken into my boot with force at some point since my key doesn't even go in. Wtf.

    Audi s3 wont start! Help needed!

    Would it be possible that the battery is running low and the startmotor cuts the power when it doesn't run therefor making the sound? Maybe the boot has sucked all the juice, since there may be moisture after a wash.
