    rear calliper small brake line - a3 3.2 2004

    I'm gonna go to my local garage tomorrow. Thought it might be an off the shelf part, bec connector on the hose end doesn't look like a standard brake line connector, looks audi specific. Cheers

    rear calliper small brake line - a3 3.2 2004

    Thanks for the input. I should of been more explicit, the caliper is fine, and so is the caliper end of the line. The brake line sheared at point where it joins with the flexi pipe. All I need is the short brake line, about 3 inches in length.

    rear calliper small brake line - a3 3.2 2004

    Hi guys. Need some help, was taking off the passenger side calliper today, and the small metal brake line that connects the flexy to the calliper has sheared off. Any ideas where I can find this part? tried ebay and europcarparts with no luck. The part in question is similar to the one in this...

    2009 rear lights on 2004 3dr A3

    Hi, As per title, I know its probably been done before, but can't find and answer regarding if its a straight swap, or if new wiring is needed or coding. Can anyone shed some light into this if wanting to fit 2009/my lights on a 2004 3dr A3? Thanks

    P1340 and P1347 fault codes A3 3.2 Quattro 2006

    I would defo do sensors first. I had a camshaft pos sensor code and crank sensor code on my 04 3.2. I was dreading chain issues too. Changed crank sensor myself for something like £80 for an OEM one, and it cured both codes.

    P1340 and P1347 fault codes A3 3.2 Quattro 2006

    What is your engine code? As far as I know, only 04 and 05 3.2's were susceptible to chain failure ?

    A3 3.2 8P1

    I've had similar experience with Audi Newbury and Audi Oxford. Phone operators being clueless, and hard to convince to look up the numbers since there were no upgrades flagged for my car..... DOH Gave up TBH. Does the remap make a huge difference?

    Timing chain rattle

    It is rattly till oil is circulated to it. Makes sense to do it only in the morning, bec all the oil drains back in the pan overnight. But if its worryingly loud, or changed in loudness recently I would have it checked up.

    A3 3.2 Manual hard to get in gear at high revs

    Hmm, I would check the brake fluid reservoir and the master cylinder. Clutch uses same fluid reservoir as the brake. Another thing that springs to mind is the clutch release bearing.
