Thanks both ill give them both a call.

I am hoping someone in Kent can help with my query, as 6 out of 7 IMTs wont quote on fitting a new turbo I am planning on buying. They want to supply it, which comes at a massive inflated cost (I work in the automotive trade parts industry, sadly not with Audi parts). I understand their...

Does anyone have the actuator and/or turbo part number for an Audi A3 8V 1.8 TFSI ?! I’ve found a recon turbo but need to make sure of part number.

Thanks for the tips. I've bought some Wynns Turbo cleaner, so that should help clear any build up. I'm also going to check if the actuator is loose or stiff due to external factors/build-up, and then try to free it if it is using wire brushes and wd-40. I'll also check all pipework tomorrow -...

I had new rear discs and calipers fitted yesterday as they were sticking badly, but that highlighted another issue; the dreaded P2563 error code related to turbo wastegate actuator! :( Weirdly, I have had intermittent issues with Stop/Start being available over the last year, and someone in...

In the end I had to get new discs and calipers as they were sticking beyond belief.

I recently changed my rear pads about 2-3 weeks ago, used VCDS etc and all seemed to go smoothly at the time. Now though it seems that the drivers side caliper piston doesn’t seem to be totally disengaging and this is causing major friction and heat on the disc. I can pull away etc, but after...

Does anyone know the genuine Audi part numbers for the Brushed Aluminum LED door trims please? :)

No worries. Sadly, I do not know whether you can code the same as in VCDS. You have to completely remove your phone from the Audi system and let it pair with the Bluetooth of the CarPlay unit, otherwise you’re never going to get audio working fully, after you’ve fixed the AMI/Aux issue I gave...

So if you have an AMI socket in your centre console storage box, you need to disable AMI, and enable AUX as an input instead. https://integratedautomotive.co.uk/activating-aux-input-on-audi-mmi-3g-and-mmi-mib1/ Sometimes the mmi will change the source so you have to deselect AUX/external...

Btw anyone who has any audio issues, this is due to AMI being active and AUX not. Recode via 5F using VCDS. ‍♂ quite happy with the box from Bavarian Automotive. Need to see if there is sound limiting as volume levels seem quieter but nothing major.

Hoping one of you can help... I bought the exact same CarPlay unit from the same seller. I have it all wired in to my MMI(MIB), CarPlay shows up and MMI centre console controls work, but I have no sound from my phone when playing music. When I go to INPUT settings on the MMI, AUX input is not...

I've already wired it into the BCM now. I just want to know VCDS codings so it is on all the time...

Hoping someone can help... LED cupholder is installed (BCM) and working, BUT only when the ignition is off or the doors are open. As soon as I turn the ignition on it turns the LED cupholder off. Can anyone tell me how to have it 'on' all the time via VCDS coding? Thanks!

All installed and controllable via MMI
