It is but it is also 300 miles away. Dont think this company has their own website because google directs to their ebay account. SSL on ebay. I was thinking that the main part that goes is going to be the electronics bit. Thats what communicates with the ECU. I found an old log of the car where...

Keram is another forum member from Lithuania who is quite experienced in steering racks and stuff looking at his replies in other discussions. Had a call with a steering specialist company this morning who can do the whole thing including taking the rack off, reconditioning it and fit it back...

@Keram A little help please. I can see in other discussions that you are quite knowledgeable about the steering rack replacements. Are gen 1 and 2 with 4 mounting bores? And do i need any coding going from gen 1 to gen 2 obtained from a breaker?

Hi NHN Thanks for the input. Yes i spoke to the TPS guys and the gen 3 rack + loom and an adapter unit needed for gen 1 to gen 3 costs over £2000 in total. I am looking at some ebay breakers where i can get the gen1/2 rack for about £100. Part number obviously i'll have to match but if the rack...

Hi, I have an A3 8P pre facelift that had a sony cd player head unit installed by the previous owner. The head unit suddenly stopped working. Eject button on the head unit still works but other than that there is no sign of life. I checked the fuse 19 in the engine bay and the 10 amp fuse at...

Thank you for the help guys. I'll run the scan again in a couple of days. A strange thing happened yesterday. I was checking the wiring loom for the radio (it has a sony head unit that suddenly stopped working yesterday). I didnt find any obvious issues with the wiring however when i started...

Hi guys, A complete noob here. I own an 8P A3 with BKD engine. First time ran a VCDS log with a friend's help. There are a few codes that came up in the scan. Engine runs fine but a few issues that I have with the car include, - taking long to warm up/heater not working till the car warm up...
