I don't have any paperwork to suggest it's not the original turbo, but the car was always well looked after and pretty much had an Audi FSH when I bought it. Still pulls nicely too so no reason to think that it is an issue at this point in time. It's generally in very good nick too, but ther...

Thanks Tuffty, I did already look on Auto trader etc, but as said the prices seem to vary quite wildly, some much cheaper than I paid for mine, others quite a lot more. Can't really see a difference in the cheap to expensive, so difficult to judge. :-s

No one? :-(

Hi All, Header kind of says it all, been considering selling up my A3, as I have found another car that I like for a half decent price. It's an 02 plate A3, with almost 145k, Generally very good condition, nice and clean and tidy, little bit of bubbling of paint along the roof gutters starting...

Cool, thanks all. Will get to cleaning it all out best I can once I can find a free weekend or two.

There is no sludge and coolant is fine. Just lots of crap in there I can see and just wanted best way to wash through. Clean it out a bit. It's an 02 plate 1.8T, has almost 150k miles but still runs reasonably smoothly, so now MOT should be sorted for another year I just wanted to clean it up...

Hi all, Just done some work on my old A3 to get her through MOT. All sorted now but checked my oil etc whilst working and there is quite a build up of crap inside, so need to do an oil change etc, but what is the best method to flush all the crap out and keep it nice and clean? I see engine...

Slightly late reply, but car went in for MOT today and failed for a few other things, so not sure whether to sell spares and repair and get new car, or repair and keep this one. lol. As for code reading etc, I've done plenty before on my old Vauxhalls etc, but as and old run about car I didn't...

I have no reader or anything, so can't see any fault codes. Nothing on the dash. I notice that the LCD screen also goes down when the Speedo and Rev counter does. The temp and fuel guage stay as normal though. Not sure if there is like a pedal test or anything on these cars to pull codes...

Anyone? Any ideas at all?

Hi all, As Title really, my speedo and rev counter have a mind of their own and keep intermittently stop working. Had a google etc and found a number of similarish issues all referring to some cluster and mentions of having to send cluster off to be repaired. So is this likely to be my...

Mine you mean? I did get them to pay. My issue was different to yours though. I paid 5k for a Vectra 1.9d, only had about 50k on the clock. I'd done not even 200 miles and the water pump seized, threw the belt and knackered a piston etc. I did the whole research, spoke to a local solicitor...

Cheers buddy. I managed to pop it out in the end though, then had the mother of all battles to get the old hazard light switch out, was a job and half but don't think it should have been that difficult so not sure what was up. Anyway, got it out, got new unit in today at lunchtime and so far...

I would imagine they would get it under pressure then work round all the pipework etc, if they can't see any leaks then they would probably suspect head and then have to pull it. They would check all the normal coolant system first though before doing anything drastic. That said, you're best...

6 months is often given as a general timeline, but officially its essentially deemed as fit for purpose! Its dependant on the cost and so on. If you laid £50 for a car then you get what you pay for and so on, but if you laid half reasonable money, which I'm guessing you did then it has to be...

Ok, so I got the replacement part, next question, best way to get the panel out. I assume just clips either side? Or do you have to remove dash panels in certain order etc?

Ok cool, just found this on ebay: Audi A6 98-05 A3 99-03 A4 99-01 Hazard Lights Switch Warning 9 pin Compatibile | eBay Looks about right, apparently for the right year etc and less than £12, so might give this one a bash! lol

Yeah just found another thread of something similar but hazard not working, seen someone say the same thing. Might even have been you. lol. It is a defo buy new, or can it just be cleaned up and re-used? Bit tight on cash at the moment and don't like being able to drive around without being...

As title really, My indicators have started playing up. I'm guessing possibly dodgy relay but i'm far from sure. Basically, I put my indicators on, and it usually indicates once or twice and then just stops, the indicator stick stay where it should, doesn't click off, but the indicators just...

Yeah let me know mate and will try and work summin out. I often work in Weybridge but come up from office in Basingstoke so think you are on the way as such! Lol.
