    Odd vibration in MY A3 8P

    Went to the local tyre shop today and they had a look. Turns out my rear N/S wheel is damaged and was therefore producing vibration through the car.

    Lower suspension arms

    How do I know which one has failed? Surely, if I order both, and replace both of them, I can be sure to resolve the issue!

    Lower suspension arms

    No, but I do get a banging/tapping noise when on uneven surfaces sometimes. The car also sometimes pulls to one side when accelerating. What do you reckon I should do for the best?

    rear washer reservoir ?

    Just to say, thanks for all the input on this thread, I had the same problem and have now resolved it. My jets were blocked, which had caused the tubing to pop off of the motor. I opened up the boot trim, reconnected the tubing, got a new jet from Audi dealers and voila, it's working :)
