If it's an import then it will state it in section 3 (special notes) of the V5. DVLA are also able to tell you if it's imported over the phone, although they'll say 'previously used overseas' Is the make and model in section 4 of your V5?

That got it. Thanks! I would have been there all day.

Yeah just H7... Ok I'll give it another go!

I feel a bit silly asking this but can someone tell me how to remove the headlight bulb from the plastic holder on an 09 A3 (non xenon). Taking the holder out of the headlight was easy, but I can't get the bulb out of the actual holder. I've tried pulling and twisting and have had no luck. Thanks.

Was there a fix for this? I have had this problem, but even though leaving home has been disabled via VCDS, the headlights still come on when the car is unlocked.

There is no fader on mine (as I don't have rear speakers) The audio tech someone had a go at fixing them, they shoved some card in-between one of the speaker supports and the cone. It worked whilst he was fiddling but was knackered. I've never heard of 2 blowing which is why I was unsure what...

Sorry, I didn't see this reply. Thanks for that. I've now just had them fixed. It was the speakers that had blown. No I don't have Bose, they were Blaupunkt speakers.

Thats alright then, just checking as like I said, not owned a Diesel before. its got 58K on the clock.

The service book gives an engine code of 'CBAB' which wikipedia says is a common rail engine.

Its an 09 plate, 1st March 09.

I'm not sure what either of those are, or how I would find out which I have?

I am. I haven't stopped smiling :-D

Thanks all for the informative replies! I have to confess, I know nothing of diesel engines or how they work in comparison to petrol engines (I'm not a novice when it comes to mechanics but never worked on or come in contact with a diesel) The information would tie in with the fact its only when...

Thanks for the reply. Not too worried about it, more curious than anything. Not sure how a diesel is meant to sound after only owning petrols in the past.

I've had my '09 A3 2.0 TDI for 4 weeks now, and have noticed the last couple of mornings, where its been a bit colder than normal 3-10 degrees, when I start the engine its quite tappety, and sounds like my old fiesta used to. I've not owned a diesel before, so not sure if this is normal. It...

Thanks for that information. I guess that would involve taking the door cards off then. I've rung the garage who use an audio specialist nearby. They're hopefully sending him out to take a look, as this is now a bit out of my depth :uhm:

Managed to get to the wires but all look as new. I guess it would point to a faulty head unit? The quadlock connector only has the vertical brown and black connectors. The space for horizontal connectors is empty. Does this sound right?

Thanks for the welcome, and the reply. I should have mentioned that I've tried balance and tone settings. I have read I should check the for pillar rubbers but couldn't see a way of removing them. Do I literally just pry them away from the door and pillar?

Hi, I've just bought a 2009 A3 Sportback with the Chorus stereo. I have an issue in that I can't get sound out of the main front speakers, I only get sound from the tweeters in the door pillars. I have taken the head unit out and have checked the connections and everything is fine. Is the head...
