    2009 A3 2.0TFSI oil leak help?!

    How much are you using? Any more than a litre in 600miles and it usually points towards piston rings on these engines. Common fault usually from factory, and well documented. Nothing in those photos screams oil leak to me, minor at worst. Certainly not requiring a regular top up!

    Rev D vs Reg G Diverter valves - and BOV issues....

    So buy a G then. The cenpek was the only one I could get overnight, and I needed the car!. I'll order a genuine one and go from there. Euro car parts don't seem to list them, TpS maybe?

    1.8 TFSI - High oil usage

    A lot.....it's a HUGE amount. Like astronomical!if it was leaking from say a burst oil pipe at the turbo, the underside of the car would be coated and and dripping in oil. It'd literally be everywhere!

    1.8 TFSI - High oil usage

    A litre of oil in 150 miles? That's 2 stroke mix you are running there, like 20:1.... I'm not sure how long Audi kept doing the repair, worth speaking customer services though. Audi rebuilt most certainly will cost the more than the car.

    TDI tuning box compatibility

    Long story short, I have a TDI tuning box here from a Mk5 polo GTi (1.8tsi). I also have a 2010 1.8 tfsi A3 8p that could use a little extra grunt. From what I can't tell the boost pressures as std are very close, and the sensors are certainly the same. The only connections are the 2 boost...

    A38P 1.8 TFSI back box options......

    Morning Folks, After a bit of guidance here. Backbox on my 8p 1.8TFSI has seen its last day. I've looked and called a few factors and nobody can seen to source me a standard replacement. From the part numbers I can find, it's different to the 2.0 TFSI, and I assume different to the 1.6 as...

    Afternoon folks. My 2010 8p sportback has developed a fault. the NSR door lock and window have stopped working. Door is currently locked. Window won't work from the drivers control or the door control. Anyone had/heard of this before...? With both failing at the same time, I'm assuming this...

    A3 8P 1.8Tfsi Sportback.....Headlight removal

    Balls. Its the OS - Seems pretty impossible to remove tbh. And given the time it took me to change both DRL's last time, It's probably time efficient to take the bumper off and change both! Is there a guide on here for bumper removal?

    A3 8P 1.8Tfsi Sportback.....Headlight removal

    Evening folks. Quick one. One of my LED DRL's failed, and its now rolling around inside the headlight unit. It's almost 100% a headlight out job - Do I need to remove the front bumper? I've seen there is a headlight mount up behind the arch liner, but not sure about the front. Thanks in advance.
