*bump I've fitted a new throttle body and the noise has gone but the check engine light is still on, thought this would have disappeared or do I need it clearing with a diagnostic machine? Thanks again

Hi mate, if i just fit a new throttle body should that be enough?

Hi guys, Anyone know what this noise is. I'm guessing it's the Throttle body flap motor gone bad?. The check engine light is on too, would the throttle body cause this. Audi A3 2004 2.0 Tdi https://vid.me/BiHH Let me know if you are having trouble viewing the video. Thanks Tom

Hi, Suddenly on the drive to work today I was accelerating on the dual carriageway to about 3.5k rpm in 4th gear and all of a sudden you could feel the power just go out the car...thought i had blown the turbo? Now the car has no acceleration what so ever, can't get it past 2k rpm in higher...

I'm going to put the issue down to muck from the road. I've noticed I have no brake disc back plate on my front right and the muck and grime is all over the cv boot and brake calipers etc on this side...much worse than the other side. The struts were only replaced in April so can't be them, plus...

I did think that but its a localised gathering of oil within the cv boot grooves and there not evidence of anything dripping down from the shock. Also I though the seals for the struts are at the top end?

Hi there, I found oil on the CV joints a few weeks ago but can't find any holes or tears in the rubber boots. So I cleaned the oil off and waited to see if the oil came back in a few weeks which it did when I checked yesterday. Now i'm wondering if its normal for some oil to get on there as I...

Is it natural to get a bit of oil in these pipes especially at the joins?

Hi there, Does anyone know what this pipe is, seems to be leaking oil. Audi A3 2.0 Tdi, 2004 plate (8P) The first picture is me laying on my back under the front bumper looking towards the passenger side wheel. The pipe starts at the bottom of the bumper infront of the passenger wheel facing...

Hi there, Does anyone know if there should be a whoosh sound when changing gear on these cars? i.e. my foot is OFF the accelerator. I get the usual spooling up noise when accelerating. Thanks guys

Hi guys, I have a really frustrating problem with my A3 2.0 Tdi 2004 plate. The temp gauge will warm up as normal (seems to take a while to get up to 90C) but then it will fall to zero, then 1/4 then back up to 90 and hold there for a while, and then fall to 1/4...repeats. I've had the Temp...

Ah just remembered one last thing.... I noticed too was the temp guage on the dash flicks on and off from 90 degrees to 0 on a drive so might be a sensor error. Do you know where the sensor location is in the engine bay. Is it the one going into the coolant filler tank?

I don't know if it has but maybe the previous owners might have re-mapped and just wondering really

haha you know what I meant. the go juice stuff :3sadwalk:
