    Coolant temperature sensor 1 B1 location

    Tried replacing the cap long time ago, no difference. Water pump and timing were replaced in the local Audi service center 3 years ago. I believe the thermostat is also in good working order as the hose going into the radiator gets warm. Today I decided to book another appointment with a...

    Coolant temperature sensor 1 B1 location

    Thank a bunch! I thought it is the one I marked with a red arrow and changing it would be a diy. I drove around 200km on the motorway today and the car warned me several times that the coolant temp is too high, and right after that it says to check the coolant level. When I stop and open the...

    Coolant temperature sensor 1 B1 location

    Hey everyone, I've recently scanned my car with VCDS and found that strange values at the coolant temp sensor. Been trying to locate the radiator sensor to no avail. Searched the entire web, and only thing I found was that some person claims diesel engines to have only one cooling sensor at the...

    A3 8V 4pot Macan caliper retrofit

    Yes, the thread has gone in the wrong direction, which was not my intention in the first place. I was just looking for sensible answers, that could help other people going the same direction. As I mentioned in my first post - I just wanted to get better braking than the OEM one as I still think...

    A3 8V 4pot Macan caliper retrofit

    For sure. They also fade the same as non-ceramics for poor people, right?

    A3 8V 4pot Macan caliper retrofit

    So the 4-pot, 6-pot, 8-pot calipers are just for "looks", marketing & taking the money out of ppls pockets? Carbon ceramic brakes are also just for "looks" and taking your money? Mate, where have you been all the time? Why haven't you warned us earlier? Brakes pads are all the same as well...

    A3 8V 4pot Macan caliper retrofit

    Well, maybe because I wanted to change my old braking fluid with a new DOT 4 fluid, or it also does not make any difference. So Brembos are lighter than the Audi OEMs, have 4-pots against one-pot in Audi OEMs, weigh less than the Audi OEMs, are able to cover larger disc in comparison to the...

    A3 8V 4pot Macan caliper retrofit

    Both front calipers were bleeded upon installing, and upon changing the brake fluid. I always say pump/cylinder as I am not quite sure how is it called in ENG - is it a brake pump or a brake cylinder - the thing that controls the brakes? What I wanted to change was the way the car brakes, making...

    A3 8V 4pot Macan caliper retrofit

    I have the pads, wear sensor and the system was bleeded - at least what I was told... You sure I don't have to change the brake pump/cylinder ? Shall I change the rears as well by the way? Current set is 210mm discs - what should I look for as of calipers for the 310mm disc? Thanks all for the...

    A3 8V 4pot Macan caliper retrofit

    Hi all, I finally installed the 4pot Macan/Brembo calipers and 345 VBT discs on my A3 2.0. I know it's an overkill, but I was sick of warping the oem discs and opted for better brakes. Anyways, I got the calipers, pads, brake lines & discs installed, changed the brake fluid with the ATE type...

    RVC retrofit MIB Standard

    I know this has been covered millions of times, but I cannot seem to find the correct info for my case or I cannot read/comprehend the already posted instructions correctly. I have the MIB Standard, bought the High-Line reverse camera, and did the installation of the unit, but I am stuck at...

    Wrong Eibach pro kit for my 8V A3

    I agree mate, and that is exactly what I did prior to ordering and I was told the kit I got was the correct one. Even when I installed and exchanged mails with Eibach to tell them that it looks too lowered, they asked me what engine, year, hp, axle load the car is and upon confirming with them...

    Wrong Eibach pro kit for my 8V A3

    I forgot probably the most important thing: E10150210922_47 - solid rear axle E10150210622_45 - multilink rear axle

    Wrong Eibach pro kit for my 8V A3

    So this should be sort of continuation to the other thread of mine - having problem after installing the Eibach pro kit on my PFL A3. Long story short- got the pro kit, installed it and it appeared that my car differs quite a lot of what others here had as a result installing the same kit. I...

    A3 8V Christmas tree dash after lowering it

    Ok, took the ABS sensor out today and put it back, voilà- everything came back as it was. Case closed. HOWEVER!!! I exchanged emails with eibach the whole day and it appeared I had ordered the wrong springs. I am making a new thread to show the results and use for reference for feature enthusiasts.

    A3 8V Christmas tree dash after lowering it

    Frankly, haven't checked that, but what it has to do with the issue? Is there some sort of "calibration" required when unplugging the ABS sensors and getting them back? I am up to flywheel and clutch replacement in the next days, and since after such a simple installation a bunch of errors...

    A3 8V Christmas tree dash after lowering it

    Hi all, So I decided lowering my 2013 A3 8V and slammed the Eibach pro kit yesterday, unfortunately a good pack of faults appeared on the dash afterwards. Only thing that was disconnected were the ABS sensors. Tried clearing the fault codes in VCDS, but the re-appear right away. I am posting the...
