    8P Cabrio headlight bulb change

    Hi, I need to change the dipped beam bulbs in my 8P Cabrio. It seems impossible, I can remove the round bulb covers but that’s about it. Do I really need to pull the bumper off and remove the headlights to get access? Many thanks

    Dying alternator?

    Having some strangeness with my ‘08 1.9tdi. Replaced the cambelt and then started getting the battery light coming on occasionally. The light will come on whilst driving and will clear if you switch off the car and restart it. A multimeter confirms that it stops charging when the light is on...

    A3 8P 2008 A/C issue

    Bit of an update on this one. I checked out the pressure on the high and low charge ports and the system is empty, despite showing a pressure of 5 bar in VCDS. I figured the sensor was probably duff so I’ve replaced it and it now reads 1 bar as it should with an empty system. The A/C light will...

    A3 8P 2008 A/C issue

    I’ve posted in the model sub forum but bo replies. Can anyone help with a VCDS scan of my HVAC please? The A/C button lights up and seems to demand cooling based on some of the measuring blocks changing when pressing the button. There is no increase in idle speed and the fans don’t run. I’ve...

    Pilot sport 4/5 question

    That’s kind of what I’d expect really. It’s more of a compromise than the 4S so quicker in the wet but slower in the dry yet quicker in the dry than its predecessor. I’d imagine the 5S can’t be far away from launch now.

    2008 A3 Cab A/C issue

    Hi I'm having some issues with the A/C on my 2008 A3 1.9tdi cab. The basic symptom is that I press the A/C button, the light comes on but no cold air. There is no change in idle speed and the cooling fans don't switch on. I've run a VCDS scan which I'll post below but I've tested the cooling...
