    Audi A3 8v - how to remove front fog cover ?

    Hi guys Have a a3 sport trim and need to change the fog light bulbs. Read elsawin which shows popping the cover off by inserting a tool into the front hole and pulling. Having tried that I couldn't get it off. Maybe I was scared to break something but just wanted to check if I am doing it...

    DRL not dimming when indicating

    Do we know what long coding in 09 would turn the LED's off when indicating instead then? That may be worth a try?

    DRL not dimming when indicating

    Retrofit puddle lights & door warning lights to 8V - help please.

    I've got my fronts all sorted now, but the ground is on the door panel which just looks a bit unprofessional. I tried to splice it into the 5th pin which was already ground but there just wasn't enough space. Does anyone know from that diagram if there are any other grounds in the 32 pin...

    Retrofit puddle lights & door warning lights to 8V - help please.

    So the weathers crap so i decided to have a look at this again whilst cleaning the interior. Just to confirm so i don't break anything, i have a brown wire already in position 5 if i am going across in numbers (there's nothing written on the connector to indicate which pin is which number). Do...

    Manual Snow Foams.. Yay or nay?

    I live in a house where we don't have an accessible tap to jet wash the car so snow foaming via a jet spray wont happen. Just wondering if anyone's used manual pump snow foams or anything else like this which is a good alternative? I'm quite happy using the old fashioned method but everyone...

    Retrofit puddle lights & door warning lights to 8V - help please.

    Can't edit my old post but here's the door control unit, can anyone advise on where these pins are located? Reading previous posts i don't think i plug anything into here.. Instead it is on the connector which is plugged into this control unit (aka the blue and pink clip) am i right?

    Interior door handle won't work after removing door panel

    Yeah it does, the blue part clips in fairly easily but once in i dont feel any tension in the door handle. If i sit it close (but not inside the grove) i then feel some slight tension from the door handle. But its never enough to open the door handle which is the issue. One post i read online...

    Interior door handle won't work after removing door panel

    Because I'm an idiot I'll have to check the other side. The cable is in and moves when I pull the handle but the door don't open.

    Interior door handle won't work after removing door panel

    So I tried to retrofit puddle lights and first wanted to put in the holes for the lights. I removed the door panel and released the clip from the door module and there was another wire going into the door . This turned out to be the interior door release catch . I removed the blue clip out and...
