the light holders themselves are handed left and right so dont try to swap them over! been there done that, and paid for 2 new ones!!

try A8N0 407 181 B OR A8N0 407 182 A, I replaced all the bushes on the suspension but had to get these from the stealers. One of these numbers is for a bush in the front wishbones. FYI its no longer a rose bush - its solid so it cant sieze up and snap the bar. good luck with the fitting - its a...

Cheers tuffty, I didn't touch the transfer box drain plug, only the gearbox plug, so it should be OK. I will check the level again to be safe. Thanks for the response. Colin

Hi guys, I have a quick question: I recently changed my gearbox oil on my s3 ( actually my mate did - I supervised!) All we did was remove the drain plug then re fitted, got the car level on jacks, then refilled through the fill plug untill it dribbled out. This talk of driving for a couple...

Hi All, I know this has been covered in detail before, however my search abilities have let me down! Can I unplug the siren box in the car to stop the thing going off until I get the time to replace the batteries?? I am looking to be able to lock the car with no chance of the alarm...

You have PM bud.

Not done a new golf, but i recently removed the same cover on my new passat. It also has an airbag in the pillar. If you look on the pillar there is an AIRBAG plastic badge, this can be levered off to reveal a screw. remove this screw and the rest of the cover will pull off, working from the top...

Hi Chris, I would be happy to help if I can. I have the full version of VAGCOM which is genuine from ROSS-TECH. It is up to date and I have used it on a few cars including my own with no problems. It should communicate fine with your car. The only problem would be is that I am not...

just a suggestion - you mentioned that you think you have a leak, but you cant find any uv traces. Is the condensor at the front of the car i.e in front of the water cooling radiator?? If it is, it could have been damaged by a stone and have a small leak in it. You could whip the font bumper off...

the pressure switch is looking for the correct pressure in the line. too much gas = too high pressure. (you will also get high pressure faults with the right amount of gas if a fan is not working) if the sticker under the bonnet says 500g, charge it with 500g. sounds to me like the...

I would also think twice about polybushes. I'm not a fan. Have them on the front arms of my S3. I am in a similar position to you ATM, I have most of the parts just need to get the ARB's. Unfortunately some DIY in the house has got in the way! Let us know how you get on.

you can make one yourself. thats what i did. with help from andymac.

S3BLX-car is looking very clean and tidy-well done.

Just as a heads up. If you go to look at the car make sure the cooling fans are working properly. When you turn the aircon on they should run at a slow-ish speed. They should also change to high speed when the car is hot (you probably wont be able to test that in this weather!). A mate of...

I have had good quality parts from eurocarparts in the past. As long as you specify you want the good quality stuff when you speak to the person on the desk.

I bought my imola yellow S3 about 3 1/2 years ago. It was my first 'performance' car. Its a 2001 and now has approx 65k on the clock. In the time I have had it, its really only needed wear and tear items. I think about changing it sometimes, have a look on autotrader, and think what would I...

OK here goes: The old man has bought a 330d Automatic. Was driving it the other day and got to a junction and held it stationary on the footbrake. Obviously, the car is ready to creep forward when I let the footbrake off. If you put it into N it disengages the drive and the car will no longer...

never used them myself but they say they can do it: http://www.digitalmileagecorrectionspecialist.co.uk/audipixelrepair.html

I'm in!!

I got mine from eurocarparts. took them 3 attempts to get the right one in though! iirc it was 20-30 quid.
