I think the only option is to find decent second hand ones. I phoned TPS last year to try get a new one to be told they were no longer available....
Hmm. Wonder if a good clean would work then? Maybe the grease is causing something to move too easily, or clogging it up. I might strip (if I can)...
Only recall I could find is for rear ball joints seizing on pfl models... They're maybe not aware of the issue with the mechanisms, or they're...
That's a good point actually... Anyone looked into it? Even my mum's car, a 57 plate Peugeot 107, was recalled at the start of the month for...
I was hoping to have taken delivery of a couple of A3 ones by now to see if they fit, but never received them from the seller and now awaiting...
I've just bought a couple off ebay. Driver's door one from an A3/S3, presumably a 3 door car, and a passenger front from an A3, I'm guessing a 5...
Don't think that would fit. Looks totally different to an actual 8L mechanism. I was looking on ebay last night, A3 mechanisms do appear to be the...
Do the A3s have pneumatic locks? If not they won't be the same. Unless there's parts that can be swapped between them? I've also noticed that part...

I'm another with the exact same problem... Actually posted last night about it, but haven't had any replies on the thread. Replaced my driver's...
Is it a common problem for the door mechanisms to "loosen"? When I bought my S3 the driver's door wouldn't close properly if you shut it a bit...
Well, it seems to have fixed itself :tearsofjoy: Still need to fix the issues, but the pad warning has stopped coming on with the headlights......
I realised it was a case of no one else has had the problem when I wasn't getting any replies. Trust me to have the car that's got a unique...
I'm starting to think I'm on my own with this one... :shrug: Posted on two Facebook groups and here, and not one idea or suggestion? It's not...
I do. Its away to get moved into its Winter storage so I can hopefully get some work done on it. Its a 2.0, but I do have a spare 2.3 that I'm...
I feel a wee bit of background info may (or may not) be helpful with this issue so bare with me... I'll also try to explain as clearly as I can,...
I do, was just getting them off my phone. Would also be good to see if any of its previous owners were on here, it seems to be a well travelled...
Hey everyone! :laughing: New-ish Audi owner from the North East of Scotland. Bought my first Audi back in June, which is an 8L S3. Never thought...
