    Just bought a 2013 A3 8v 1.6tdi - has several fault codes - heres a VCDS scan can anyone help/decode?

    The igniters are these and you need two of them: https://m.oemvwshop.com/8v0823823f-activator-for-pedestrian-protection-p1212674/ But I see that the sensors are not there/working as well, probably omitted during crash repair. Regarding the headlights, yours seem to bee full led, which means no...

    Just bought a 2013 A3 8v 1.6tdi - has several fault codes - heres a VCDS scan can anyone help/decode?

    Well, apparently at 128613km the car had a light crash… the airbag light will not come off and the errors will appear again, as that light crash triggered pedestrian protection (popping the hood on the opposite direction-about 150€ to fix). About headlights, do all beams work correctly...

    Audi S3 8V 2014 LED lights or not

    All variants of headlights have manual adjusters as well under the bonnet and could possibly need adjustment - my 2016 xenons were aimed too low. Only halogen headlights have one on the dash. We need a photo of the headlights. Strange to not know what your headlights are after 10 years of...

    2015 1.4 TSFI COD clutch judder

    Same here, juddering frequently, especially at cold weather or heavy traffic. No slip though. One of our prroblems is that there is absolutely no aftermarket clutch/flywheel kit for our version :huh:

    Disable headlight washers only?

    You can switch the headlights off before spraying and then back on, to avoid triggering the headlight washers :tongueout:

    Has any one fitted H7 Philips Ultinon Pro9100 HL LED Headlights

    Your post reminded me that the ultinon pro9000 (H4) are great (intensity & pattern) at the round headlight of my motorcycle, forgot to mention it the other day. They just needed a slight rotation in the ring (they are adjustable) to provide the correct pattern.

    Has any one fitted H7 Philips Ultinon Pro9100 HL LED Headlights

    Have tried them on A1 8X, which has very similar reflector to the one of the A3 8V. The beam pattern was very bad, no way acceptable for other drivers. The one that produced excellent beam pattern was finally the Osram Ledriving HL Gen2. (on the other hand, the Philips H7 were perfect in...

    Xenon headlight flickering

    If you are about to replace only one bulb, get the 4300K, for color match. If you buy a pair, get the 5000K. But be ready for the scenario of ballast failure, flickering usually does not happen due to bulb

    Has anyone added a subwoofer or amplifier to their 8v?

    Yes, high level input from your radio means exactly this. My concern is on the quality of the conversion from high level to low level, the internal resistance of the amplifier for high to low conversion, etc. A dedicated high to low converter will do it better and most probably safer for your mmi.

    Has anyone added a subwoofer or amplifier to their 8v?

    I feel like interrupting your discussion, but since you are about to install an external amp, I would advise you to invest on a quality line output converter between the mmi and the amp. Your concern for defects on mmi amp is reasonable, actually it is my experience with two mmi units, even with...

    Finding Reverse light negative on Audi A3 and how to wire?

    Checking the aftermarket parking sensors of my 2015 hatchback, the +12v signal for reverse is the blue/black wire, at the left side. It is located in a loom behind the foam pad, close to a ground point (ground->brown)

    Hold Assist via VCDS

    And that is the help that someone gets when not asking about a stage 3-4-10 S3 or not being close to a professional retrofitter…pitty

    Hold Assist via VCDS

    Does anyone know if the activation via VCDS can be applied on a 3Q0xxxxx ABS module? Until know, I see successful activations only for 5Q0 modules… I am willing to try once again, but if it is 100% sure that it will not work, no need to waste time

    New battery needed, coding?

    Yes, it needs coding, both for switch to AGM type and to recognize that a new battery is installed (minimum edit of the serial number, if capacity is the same)

    Audi A3 8V Sound System

    For CarPlay volume drop, go to Settings->Music on your iPhone and disable “Sound Control”, or however it is called, the exact next option after “Equalizer”. Also, do not expect bass at high volume from stock setup, paper-cone door speakers cannot handle this and the headunit protects them just...

    Replacing EFB with AGM ; to recode or not to recode?

    You need to recode, in order to charge the battery as it should for an AGM version - as well as for the capacity, if you installed a larger one. info, settings, etc were not lost with the battery disconnected for about 15min,
