    2008 1.6 Petrol Intermittent Fault

    Hi all, I have a fault with my 8P A3. It's a 2008 model 1.6 petrol engine. Some times when I start the car, it idles very rough and the EPC and ESP lights come on. If I press the accelerator, the revs barely go up. If I switch the car off and switch it back on, the lights disappear and the car...

    1.6 FSI Exhaust Manifold Oil Leak

    I've got the 1.6 FSI BLF engine in bits at the minute chasing an oil leak. It's not really a big deal but since I'm not using the car I've tasked myself with trying to track the problem down.

    A3 Ecu

    Hi I recently bought a 1.6 petrol non turbo 8p a3. However, I was unaware at the time that the car has been remapped very badly. The map is causing my emissions and engine management lights to show (they were taped over when I bought it) and is also making the car very uneconomical. I have...
