I cant seem to fix the spelling mistake in the topic. I have not waited 30 seconds but with the old bulbs the lights went out straight away when the car was locked. I will time and see if they go out after 30 seconds, I know when you remove the key the light switch does not work if you turn...

I replaced the headlight bulbs in the A3 yesterday for some OSRAMs and since then I have noticed that when I have the light switch set to AUTO the lights never go off when I lock the car. I must lock, unlock and lock again for the lights to go off. If I go into the car and move the switch to...

Does anyone know where to get a new arm rest from (just the top), it appears the clip on the top snapped and finding it hard to just find the top bit. A few searches on ebay uk all come back around £70. don't mind if its grey, black or whatever. Just need that clip back because whenever it is...

Is it possible to replace the bulb via the engine bay if your fingers are small enough? It looks like its a twist, remove bulb / power and reconnect new one. Is the cable long enough if you were to go in via the engine bay? I recently replaced the BMW lights and had to go in via the wheel...

That ebay seller is A* purchased two for £15 and good quality too in genuine audi/vw box. The only problem i had was getting the damn screw off and back on again, due to the license place being in such a position it was a battle. Any ideas of what type of screw driver you use or tool to tighten...

Do you still have details of the person you got them off?

I have run on flats on mine atm and i do agree with you (them being pointless and expensive) however its too late to change now, i just keep on thinking that i will be better off if my wheels got shot in armed fire ;) Simialr setup to yourself but i am 320d M sport and also a A3 quad (2008...

Anyone any ideas where i can order one of these Number License Plate Lamp Light-Audi A3 but cheaper? The white one has snapped off around the screw, the light and fittings etc all work fine. I find it hard to justify £27 for just some plastic? but this link is the LED, how do i get OEM? LED...

OK all done, cheers guys. Ive taken it off and put it back on a few times now and its much easier once you have taken it off once.

how do you know what the latest version is? I am on 0650

well after hours of battling with two nipples i finally got it off, opened the packet of bulbs to replace the faulty one and doh realised i had ordered incorrect bulb. It says right brake like and the bulb in the back appears to be a thin connector not round. Toshiba 921 12v W16W *sigh* why does...

Well i have been wiggling for a good hour now and it just will not come off at all, the back has a 1cm gap but moving it fwd and back results in nothing. Where are the metal nipples? do i need to bang it at all or just keep on wiggling away in a fwd and back motion? i used a screw driver in the...

thanks much appreciated, i couldnt believe it when i saw the plastic nut and thought this cannot be right i must need a special tool or if it was just cosmetic. No manual to hand to double check. Hopefully i ordered the correct bulb without even seeing the one in the car. only problem i have...

Does anyone have any ideas on how to replace a break light on an a3 2008, i removed the plastic cap and then knocked it in the hole (doh how do i get it out), and i was presented with a plastic nut. I assume i must some how use a screw driver or something to undo the plastic nut to get at the...

Does anyone know how to find out what software version your Audi is running? I have an audi A3, 2008 with a colour sat nav. My audi is due an MOT and i am wondering if its worth paying for the service and having the updated software etc done or if i should just find out what version i am running...
