From what I have read it seems as if the larger fan has 2 speeds, low speed and high speed and from hearing it I imagine that it only runs at high speed hence the loud noise, which means that something is stopping it running at low speed, does anyone know the cause of this? Some people mention...
So I was having a look around ebay last night and came across a damage repaired A3 on an 06 plate and looking at the pictures it looks to have the new style front but the old style wings (newer model had indicators in the wing mirrors?).
Having a read around I thought you could only do this...
Some more info incase I didnt make it clear above, it is the large fan that is making a noise! This looks as though it comes on with the smaller fan when the car is hot (smaller fan sounds ok).
When the car is cold and I turn the climate control / air con on the large fan kicks in and gets...
I had some problems with fans on my old A3 and have recently got another A3 and would you believe it but think I may be having the same problem after fixing the old one LOL
The problem this time is that the main large fan is really noisy when it kicks in, sounds like an aeroplane taxing down a...
I have just sold My A3 and I purchased an S-Sline bumper & S-Line grill for it but never got around to fitting it. Is in really good condition with the bumper in grey primer, needs to be rubbed down a little ready for painting but apart from that its good to go! PM me if you want anymore info :-)
Argh so decided to get the train into london yesterday and left the car at the train station...walking back to the car and thinking something doesnt look right and i was right! Some idiot has rear shunted the car and smashed the passanger side rear light and cracked the drivers side light AND...
Mike, thanks for the explanation of what a PR number is, you learn something everyday. I have had a look in the front of the service book and there are lots of number \ letters and the only 1Z I can see is 1ZE, so this means the part number mentioned ealier would be correct?
GSF is an...
Thanks guys, Mike whats a PR number?
Is this a job I could do myself or is it pretty full on to do?
I have phoned GSF and they have 2 options equivelant to 1T0 498 621 one @ £48.50 + Vat and also one @ £63 + VAT, will these be useless for the price?
Thanks
Matt
My car has started making a pretty loud rumbling / whirring noise at speeds over 30mm and the faster I get the louder the noise, its coming front one of the front wheels so I suspect it is a wheel bearing!
My question is...is this a hard part to fit myself, is it just a case of dropping the...
Cheers for the replies guys has put my mind at rest a little now!
I have emailed 4 members who are localish to me on the VCDS map but still no reply so I will have another look and see if there is someone else that maybe i could make a short journey to!
Whilst we are on the nun jokes...
So do you you think this will clear the light and that it doesnt mean im going to need all of the above sensors cause that would be a real pain!
I love my A3 but its just a money pit at the moment, but I guess this happens when you buy an older car!?
I went on to the VCDS map the other day...
Can someone please help as this is really starting to bug me now!
I disconnected my battery to replace the EGR Valve and Rad Fans and ever since I have reconnected it the ESP light is on the dash and the ESP button will not turn it on or off! I have driven it for about 3 weeks and its still...
