    Gaitor/Bushes Replacement Quote

    Hi all, My A3 BKD 2004 2.0TDI has just come back from its service with some advisories. Have always taken care of my car and its now rocking 153k and still going strong. Just wondered if these parts/labour costs/timings seem a bit OTT - £108 labour to fit a £9 part? What do you reckon: N/S...

    A3 BKD 140 Remap @ 120k Miles - ESSEX/LONDON

    Hi All, Had my A3 carbon-cleaned at the weekend by Enginer Carbon Clean - what a difference! Was speaking to the technician and got talking about remaps. I was always under the impression that they are better to do on newer cars - not my 12 year old A3! Anyway, have been having a look at some...

    Replacing Oil and Fuel Filter - BKD

    So tried this morning... How do you get to the oil filter?!?! I can see it there and can get a socket on it but can't unscrew it because of big metal pipe in the way and then air intake on bottom right?!?! Also, got the screws undone for the fuel filter except one. Managed to strip the head...

    Audi A3 BKD 140 Clutch/DMF Replacement Cost

    Hi all, Managed to get a Sachs DMF/Clutch/CSC for £377. Looking for somewhere to fit it (am in Essex but can travel further afield). What sort of price would I be looking at? And any recommendations? It's for my aging 54 plate A3 BKD 140 - now with 120k miles on the original clutch. Clutch is...

    Replacing Oil and Fuel Filter - BKD

    Sorry - got confused haha. The oil filter AFAIK has 1 big O ring that goes right up into the plastic screw part. I'm sure it'll all become apparent when I take the filters out as I'll replace exactly how they've come out with new. Do you need to remove the excess fuel from the fuel filter part...

    Replacing Oil and Fuel Filter - BKD

    Where do the O rings actually go? All the vids I've seen so far haven't shown any O rings.. Would like to use them though if they're advisable

    Replacing Oil and Fuel Filter - BKD

    Ive just ordered the fuel filter and it seems that it comes with the Mickey ones... Is this right? Or is it one of those things that you won't know until you get the filter out?

    Replacing Oil and Fuel Filter - BKD

    Hi All, Finally getting round to doing my oil and fuel filter myself. Have ordered an oil suction pump as don't have the equipment to get underneath the car. I've found a video explaining how to do the oil filter. Seems simple enough. Unscrew, reaplce (inc gasket) and soak with fresh oil...

    About to buy an A3 2.0 TDI

    Just to let you all know.. I got the car! Can't believe how nice it is to drive.. So smooth compared to my old MINI! Only problem I have, the clutch pedal needs to be pressed basically an inch or so above the floor to change gear. Managed to get me some discount on the price, but usually...
