Seeing as you've had it all apart, do you know the rubber piece i mean that is next to the fan up behind the glovebox? it has a slit in it which kinda looks like it's meant to be there.. Thats where it seems wet & that seems like it's inline with those aircon pipes, although it's hard to tell...

I’m just hoping lol! Stilll got the glove box off and a cloth stuffed in the rubbery part next to the fan and that’s now wet! What are the aluminium looking pipes next to the pollen filter? I noticed the pipes go down into the metal of the car and have a rubber like tube around them, the pollen...

Well, I’ve left the glovebox out for ages and stuffed a towel under the passenger carpet.. checked it today and it’s soaked! Then I found, there is a rubber piece next to the cooling fan assembly and that has a split in it and is a bit wet inside?!.. Then I poured water down the side of the...

During a break in the rain today I ripped the front footwell apart! Took out the glovebox and pulled the carpet forward as much as I could. This revealed some wet from the front passenger footwell, roughly in the middle. So there is something coming from the front potentially could be the rear...

I've got a b6 avant that is letting water in somewhere!.. got damp carpet mainly in the rear passenger footwell but also, after heavy rain today it's in the front passenger footwell too.. I've checked under the battery & servo, no water builds up in there.. so no idea where it's getting in but...

drive it around for a week or so with the warning & it's now gone?.. oh well.. fixed itself

Evening, Just been out in my b6 and now have an amber warning it’s a image of an oil can with sensor. A quick Google suggests a faulty oil level sensor, wiring or fuse. I’m not going to have chance to check too much other than the fuse and oil level until the weekend, I assume it’s fine to...

Bit of a long shot, does it start up fine when cold? just thinking possibly air bubble in the fuel lines so not so much a case of warming up but purging out the air and it then running fine? Like i say.. a long shot, but just something that came to mind. I'm not sure what these cars do...

can you tell if the creak is coming from the steering wheel area itself or more under the bonnet? Only thinking, my old mk4 golf had a bit of creaking when steering & my b6 does now.. it seems to be the clock spring (whatever it's called) which is behind the steering wheel.. just a thought

That part you linked to is the window regulator. I've changed many of those on my b6 a4! When those fail you will still have power to the window & the glass usually attempts to go up or down only to then get all messed up, so if you've got no power to the motor then that part isn't what you...

Best get the coolant leak sorted first, maybe that is introducing air into the system causing your issue?

maybe temp sensor rather than thermostat? or airlock? Be interesting to see what temperature reading you get when connected to vcds or similar? My 2011 tdi is a bit slow to 90 & then does tend to drop down a bit, but from what i gather it's not a cheap swap out like the older pd engines! & the...

No idea sorry, but will keep an eye on this one as my Mrs A3 has an intermittent odd rear wiper that decides to seemingly activate on it's own & has dropped down the boot glass a bit.

Yeah after that second video you posted the DMF option was probably out. At least you have 2 diagnosis that are the same so can be pretty confident that the money you're spending will actually solve the issue. Shame you have to spend out on something like this, and I guess with second hand cars...

go on to eurocarparts & put your reg in & see if they list a dual mass flywheel on there, might give you an idea. I always thought it was more the diesels that had DMFs but I have a 2005 Petrol Mini Cooper S & that had one too.. so could be petrol cars as well now

I'm no mechanic, but metal particles in the oil is a bad sign! I'd get a second opinion myself as (i might be wrong) but would the gearbox make that noise when idling/stationary? After listening to the video again, does the noise stay consistent with the revs? (can't quite make it out) Is the...

Does your car have a Dual Mass Flywheel? If so, it could be that. I had a mini that sounded similar when idling (but worse) and the noise went when pressing the clutch pedal. Also listen when turning the engine off, do you get any clatter then? only asking that as i also had a mk4 golf tdi...

Sorry to say the usual, but the first place to start would be scanning it for any error codes. Doesn't sound like a timing belt issue (but i'm no mechanic), more like a sensor playing up maybe?

My A3 is just about due it's yearly service, I tend to do an oil & filter one year & all filters plus oil every other. Last time, I did bottle it & changed oil, pollen, air myself but actually paid a garage just to swap the fuel filter as I was concerned about the Priming of the filter housing...

Did you get this sorted? That brass pipe you refer too, is that the one going to the EGR? if so maybe the EGR is causing you the issue? I'm impressed you've done a turbo having never done anything mechanical :) my turbo has been sticking on & off for years now & i'm too scared to attempt a...
