Hi all. Firstly, hope you are all safe and well. On my wife's old 1.9tdi (2002), the central locking would lock the doors as you pulled away. It would engage at around 5mph. I think it was a factory option as I don't think the car was ever modified (intentionally). What was this feature...

Hi all My car is now not worthy (economically) of a full body shop paint job, but there are bits that I would like to at least touch up and have a go at DIY repair/maintenance once all of this lockdown madness is over. Where is the best place to get a good quality can of base, paint and...

Hi All I have a suspected bad coil on my 2003 1.8t. I want to use this opportunity to upgrade to the 2.0L packs (potentially the tfsi one), but all the threads I find are old. Aside from Awesome GTI, who historically been great, but I have not used them in over 15 years I can't find a source...

Hi all Mods: happy for this to be moved to ICE but 8L knowledge is great here hence the questions! So bought a kenwood double din to fit into my 2003 1.8t sport. I bought what I thought was the right harness (CT20AU09). First problem was there was no power to the head unit. After a lot...

Hi all I am trying to install a Kenwood DPX-7000 into my 2003 (8L Chassis) 1.8t Audi A3. - Could be one for the ICE section, but knowledge here seems to be great!!! MODS please move if you see fit. I have the Autoleads CT20AU09 harness (which I believe is the right harness but correct me if...

Hi all I am not sure why (yes I do! it is those damn Snap On videos on you-Tube! Best way to waste time online!) but I got a want for a 3/8 snap on stubby ratchet. I cannot justify the costs at this point (even second hand one feels too expensive @ £50), so I started looking at...

Hi All After many years away (life got in the way...) I finally got a chance to get my hands dirty again. Interesting to see how technology has moved on (DAB, 2x Bluetooth with auto pairing... mind blowing) over the years and how the costs have come down! Anyhow, I got hold of a kenwood...

Hi all. I treated myself to an OBD Eleven kit just before Christmas in the hope that I was stay with VAG in coming years and it seems to be a very useful tool. I wanted to try and look at a constant 'emission control system' warning on the dash. OBD11 gave me the following codes but google...

Hi All Thought I would ask you guys before going to the ICE section. I have bought a new aftermarket double DIN stereo and looking to replace my Audi Symphony (I think) unit (also Double DIN). Now, looking for the adaptors and cage and trim etc, I thought I might as well buy the packs...

Hi all After a few years of looking, I finally got my hands on an iconic piece of 8l history for a fair price...(assuming that I am in to receive it...already missed Parcelforce twice!) All historic posts mentioned that that the instructions sent out were detailed and easy to follow. My...

Hi guys I noticed the other day, when pulling away in first the car (2003 A3 1.8T Sport) struggles. Almost as if it is thinking about stalling. It then pulls away fine but then I notice in second and third (not really had a chance for take it up to fourth & fifth given road conditions) that...

Hi all In the engine bay, what is the 'squarish' thing between the water coolant bottle and the washer fluid bottle. What does it do and is it easy to remove and replace? Mine is making a clicking noise... Thanks Bolly

Hi guys A quick 30 mins job took me three + hours yesterday and I still haven't got what I wanted so I thought you could help. A3 1.8T 2003 is the car. It has a double din Audi Symphony Radio (which was a ball ache to take out!) and the climate control sits underneath. There is no storage...

Hi All First off, I know that there there is a thread added recently, but I didn't want to 'pollute' the thread with my random question. I am hoping I can get an answer and sulk away into the forum depths... A few years ago, I retrofit an armrest using the guides found on this forum, but...

Hi Guys I want to clean a Range Rover Interior. It has had a hard life and has been used for a lot of things over the years (not just carting the kids to school or popping to the gym or a trip to ASDA!) and as a result there is a lot of grime and dirt in-bedded into the seat, dash and door...

Hi guys. Can anyone point me in the right direction to find the differences between the two from factory. I think the sport came with uprated suspension and that is all I can find. Engine, chassis and interior is the same from what I can see. For comparison, assume both models are facelift...

Hi all I want to switch off the passenger air bag so that I put a child seat on the front seat but there is no 'switch' inside the glove box like on my wife's A3 Tdi (2003). Is there another way to switch it on and off? My car is a 1.8t 2002. Many thanks Bolly

Hi all A few months ago a pipe came loose and caused the turbo to go into limp mode! Made an awful noise but managed to get it to the garage and have them look at it. They finally said that one of the pipes have come loose and that caused the loss in pressure. The turbo goes into limp mode...

Hi all Since changing the headunit (I didn't check with the old unit), I cannot pick up any AM stations (Yes, people still use it...radio 5 live etc). The aerial is def plugged in - I checked, but still nothing. What else can I check or buy to sort this? Thanks Bolly

Hi guys While changing the oil last week (2002 1.8t) I noticed one of the pipes was split. This was the part number 06a103213af. I don't have a picture but came across this pic on my searches: http://www.ttforum.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=326385. This is the same split. The part cost...
