Thanks to this thread I've managed to change the rear number plate plinth On my 04 A3. Thanks all

Fantastic write up / how to, I've been looking for a guide like this for weeks.

Ok the 13mm caliper slider bolt on the rear of my A3 8P is well and truly seized and to top it off the bolt is starting to round off. Tried heating it up, tried various oil's to free it up but it's not budging. I'm now at the point when I'm thinking of just grinding/cutting the bolt head off...

I hate to agree NHN but I think you may be right. Can the motors be stripped and potentially fixed or are they sealed units?

I have the same problem on a 53 plate A3. Fuses are fine, light dimmer works but range control doesn't do anything, also don't appear to have any codes...

Final got around to doing this job at the weekend. The soot & waste that came out of the EGR body was quite impressive. Although it's not a difficult job it is fairly time consuming, also if you don't have a decent array of tools I'd be less inclined to carry out this job as you will require...

I wonder if cleaning the EGR with the wrong fluid cleaner causes the EGR diaphragm to fail - it is after all only a soft rubbery plastic. Alternatively cleaning the EGR & diaphragm could potentially uncover a problem similar to the following example: VW JETTA TDI EGR valve bad. A LOOK INSIDE...

I've read a few threads whereby people report after cleaning the EGR a CEL is thrown, does anyone have any ideas why this would happen? InvincibleA3, Did you use new gaskets after cleaning the EGR & intake manifold?

Sorry, I meant the size of the intake bolts to the head. I spoke with Audi who confirm the Nm Torque setting is 22nm for my 2003 model, but the bolts to remove the intake manifold appear to be torque bolts?

I'm saving this til the weekend, it looks like a seriously messy job. What size are the bolts on the intake manifold?

jok3r5, Thanks for the link man, very useful guide.

I know there are a million posts on EGR's & cleaning but thought it was worth a quick broadcast to ask the following: 1) Whats the easiest way to remove the EGR 2) Is there anything to look out forward once removed i.e. clips/bolts etc that might fall out 3) Is brake cleaner the best stuff to...

Brought a 53 plate 2.0 TDI and the part appears to have been replaced:03G 103 308 C although I have the warm start issue which is becoming annoying.

So far mines winning on mileage :-) Drives absolutely fine although I have the annoying warm engine start issue which is starting to bug me.

I've just picked up a 53 model with 172K on it, drives absolutely fine, great MPG, turbo seems good, clutch is fine.

Righty peeps, Well I finally made it from Subaru to Audi, it took sometime but hopefully this is the start of another 15+ years of motoring. Right down to basics, got a few problems one of which is fairly serious which I'm sure can be easily fixed which I'm hoping a few of you might be able to...
