The Engineer who posted earlier in the thread is correct - when in doubt and before getting into any repair, open the window at least enough to get to unlock buttons on door. It is never a good time to lock keys in car, so be careful! Especially in the rain. Yes, water inside car sucks, but at...

Happened to me stopped on side of elevated 105 freeway near LAX. I stopped to rescue a kitten I saw sitting on guardrail. 60 foot drop on one side, 70mph traffic zipping by on the other, no real emergency lane, terrified kitten biting me and ******* on me and freaking out, car running (because I...

My tip to everyone: use an old shoelace to pull coil packs. Just slip it around top of pack and give a firm yank. Butter! I made a special tool to get at hpfp banjo bolt too. Pull the tip of an 8mm triple-square out of the socket it comes in, get a little combination wrench a little bigger than...

My point in previous post is the timing belt job that was done on op's car probably got botched. That's why code says it can't reach ****** setpoint. Engine mechanical timing is wrong

I have an a3 with bpy 2.0 tfsi engine. Went through a couple of camshaft followers, a hpfp. Irritating, to say the least. These are repairs I have done since my decision to stop letting dealer touch my car and turn my own wrenches. Got a vagcom, triple-squares and some esoteric sockets, and a...
