Ya that would be easy, but i am not sure if its needed and i couldn't find answers on the web if there should be air tight connection. By the looks of it that plastic hose shouldn't be able to make such connection. I removed it completely to test, thinking there should be a lot of extra...

Hey, so lately i have been experiencing boost issues, with car unable to rev high and so on. After reading that it might be vacuum related i made a smoke machine and tried it on today . There was a lot of smoke coming from the breather hose. Could this be an issue? Should there be tight seal...

Thanks! I went on and tried (changed ruined housing with letter C to one with letter A) and the car runs so I guess that's ok:thumbs up:

Hey, just wanted to ask if anyone knows if there is any difference between UFI fuel filter housings. They all look identical and the only difference I see is the letter at the end of part number. Maybe hoses connects to them differently or insides of the cap is different?. Like 3C0127400A...

Hey, this might be a silly task for professionals, but I cant seem to find this part on my car. Does my car even have one ( 2007 8PA)? As I been reading pressure leaks can be caused by fuel pump check valve, pressure regulator fail or leaking injectors. Thanks

Hello, can anyone help me to identify the most likely culprit of this sound coming from under the hood: It's like a high pitched whistle/hiss and it happens while accelerating in lower gears (couldn't notice any whistle sounds in higher gears/speeds) . It seems like its coming from around...

Here is the whole process, the puff of white smoke comes at the end, but it looks like very small one( might just be normal from condensation?) Also rarely car starts even on cold mornings (if I left engine hot at evening) with no problems, and sometimes it has problems starting at around...

Yes i know about that. In short my hard start could be explained like this: If temperature is low (anywhere from - to +5-8c) and i leave my car with hot engine (90c or so), then next morning it wont start easy. If i leave my car with cold engine ( for example driving it for few mins to a shop...

Thanks for the replies guys! yeah by the looks of it I toasted them real good, that's a learning experience. I am trying to cure cold start issues. Once the ambient temperature drops to close to zero and bellow I need to crank for like 20secs. During spring, summer and half of autumn it starts...

Hello, I have Audi a3 2007 1.9 tdi bls engine and i recently tried to mess around with my glow plugs trying to test something and I think I burned 3/4 of them (infinity ohms. no continuity. I assumed glow plugs receive 12v from the harness, so I removed the harness and connected them directly...

Hello, I was wandering if anyone could help me with some tips on how to remove climate control unit. I am having few errors with air conditioning system : 01232 AC compressor regulator valve and 00796 fan for interior temp sensor. As I understand interior temp sensor is screwed in the back of...

Hey, nope I had no luck at all so far since my last update. I left my car at a big garage (with good reviews and recommendations) 3 weeks ago. So right away next day they r calling me and saying - we changed your fuel injector rubber seals and bolts and the car is working(even thought i said...

Hey, thx for reply. I was away for quite a bit and then left the car at another garage for different people to look at it, but they couldn't find anything to fix my problem. Then while waiting, last week, the weather temperatures dropped quite a bit and something unexpected happened. Once the...

Hey thanks for your input Nessy. Yes i had that dilema on which fuel filter to buy as it had 3 different options on Mann-Filter online catalog. Shop owner said it should be PU 825x but he wasnt 100% sure, so I went with it. Mechanic didn't say anything about it not fitting in . Any idea whats...

Hello, maybe someone can help me. I have bought Audi A3 tdi 1.9 77kw 2007 some months ago and few months ago car became hard to start when the engine is cold. It usually takes like 20s+ of cranking for it to start. Once you start the car , you can turn it off and on again with no problems also i...
