    8P Quattro "expert" in Nottingham...? (Or Telford/West Midands)

    Thanks for the info everyone. Honestly, I think there may be a failed non-return valve or something for the issue with the starting. Battery feels fine (Cranks for a good 3-40 seconds) and the starter also pulls fine. But after 3-4 days not being used, it takes more like 60-80 seconds to start...

    8P Quattro "expert" in Nottingham...? (Or Telford/West Midands)

    Had a few issues with my wifes A3.... Pretty sure it is the 2.0 170 TDI I have heard there is an "expert" based somewhere in Nottingham who offers a fix for all problems on power. Does anyone know who this is? Or can reccomend anyone over in Telford/West Midlands way to offer me any help...

    Missing fuel! Roll back after only a week...?

    Yes, it will be working .... but be unable to get up to pressure as it needs to be over a certain level of revs to power the pump. Not enough revs (only cranking) no pressure. Which is obviously VERY bad when it IS running as temps sky rocket and your engine will weld itself together! ... but...

    Missing fuel! Roll back after only a week...?

    Nah... that is just a warning light to cover all the bases when it cranks too long and doesn't fire up. As long as you are sure you have oil, you should be fine. Had it on all my VAG motors.

    Missing fuel! Roll back after only a week...?

    Good idea.... but no, our drive is totally flat. Although, I suppose if the pump seal is gone, it could still flow/siphon back, as the tank is much lower than the pump. Going to give Audi a call and see what they say. :kissmyrings:

    Missing fuel! Roll back after only a week...?

    Hey guys.... My wife had a week commuting to work on the train, so the Quattro sat on the drive for a little over week, alarm on, not moving. Came to start it on Sunday night and it cranked fine but wouldn't kick in. Had the inevitable "Oil pressure" error pop up, as they do on all VAGs (Even...

    Hey Shady.... What size are the wheels you have just refurb'd? If they are 18's and will fit...

    Hey Shady.... What size are the wheels you have just refurb'd? If they are 18's and will fit perfectly on my 8P, I am interested. Thanks. :)

    Another 170 flat spot issue :(

    Thanks for the info guys... Anyone heard about C&R Enterprises? Or some guy called Crasher?

    Another 170 flat spot issue :(

    Thanks guys.... Yup, the injectors have been replaced under warranty by Audi. And when I say "no" turbo, I meant very little power, he said it felt slower than the 140! When I search for A3 hesitation, I find a lot of threads talking about fuel filters being replaced. Any idea how hard this is...

    Another 170 flat spot issue :(

    Help guys! Wasn't happy with the car's power, so took it for a remap. The guy test drove it said it felt very flat, as if the tubby wasn't coming in at all. (56, 2.0 Quattro, 67k) Remapped and it feels lovely! You can feel the turbo and it feels like I expected it would do in the first place...

    17 Vs 18 Rotors

    Fair point.... but I wouldn't want to mess with the suspension. Starts to get expensive :D

    17 Vs 18 Rotors

    I'd be aiming to keep the Rolling Radius the same as the 17's. If the car rides higher, then it will mean the size of the tyre/wheel combo is taller. Throwing off the speed, acceleration and ride.

    17 Vs 18 Rotors

    Cheers for that. Why do you think I would want to lower as well as alter the wheels? Presuming they will sit well on a standard setup? Happy with the ride as it is, which is why I'd like to stick to 17's if possible... hmmm, more research needed I guess. :)

    17 Vs 18 Rotors

    Winter is coming, so I'm looking at replacing the tyres on the Quattro with winters. Currently, it has 'standard' 17" 9 spokes on. 225/45ZR17 Which will be fine for finding winters. When the summer comes round next year.... Looking to put some 'nice' alloys on and keep the winters in the...

    Front Arch Trailing Edge Protection Strip...?

    Yes, you need to keep on top of them or they soon bubble up. We are having a few dinks and scratches taken out, while my local guy goes it. It is an 8 year old car, so you expect there to be marks. Although the most annoying thing is all the chips on the edge of the drivers door. Must have...

    Ipod "cd-changer" Install

    Tam (my wife) bought the item. Will find out what it is and let you know. We bought the wrong one first time round (wrong connectors for the back of the HU) but the seller was VERY good and swapped out the cable for the one we needed. Very impressed with the service. ha ha ... yeah, can't go...
