Hi all, I need a new turbo intercooler pipe for my 2003 a3 1.9tdi. I have taken the pipe off and the part number printed on it is '1J0 145 838 S'. I have found what looks like the exact same pipe on ebay, which is about £100 cheaper than getting it through Audi, however the part number is '1J0...

Thanks for the quick reply. So you just need to buy 2 jubilee clips and 4 cable ties. Would you recommend this as a good enought fix? Also is it normal to have oil in this pipe?

I have a 2003 audi a3 1.9 TDI. I have a pipe that keeps popping off. I believe it is the turbo intercooler pipe. I believe that the clip has worn away, which is why it keeps popping off. Just wondering if there is a quick fix for this, or is it easier to just buy a new hose. Also I have...

Thanks for your advice. I will go and buy a new one. :)

Thanks for the quick reply, thought that would be the easiest solution. Do you know the best place to source one as i dont think there is a need to buy a new one.

Hi All, The pipe which the arrow is pointing to in the pic below keeps coming loose at the connection where I have circled. I believe that the point which clicks under the sir clip has just worn away, which is why it keeps coming off. Just wondering if anyone has a solution to this, or...

Oh okay, sorry for my incompetence. I obviously didn't look at it properly . Obvious now you said it, first clue is the fact that threes no teeth on the belt. yeah it moves back and forth on tick over, but the rattle is very loud now? It wasn't this loud when I bought. Is the easiest fix...

I have a 2003 1.9 TDI with 145K on the the clock. I have just returned from a trip to Cornwall and noticed that on tick over there was a horrible sounding rattle coming from the engine. When I investigated I noticed that one of the pulleys or tensions for the cam belt is moving slightly back...

Thanks for your advice. Im glad I checked on here first as I just bought 10w- 40 part, but havnt changed oil yet. Think il take it back and change it for some 5w-30 fully. Is the VAG spec just written somewhere on the bottle?

I was told that the oil to put in the engine was 5w-30 fully synthetic, or 10w-40 part synthetic for engines with higher mileage? I was thinking about remapping, but doesn't this put more strain on the engine and components such as the clutch and how will it effect fuel economy?

i Everyone, I have just purchased a 2003 audi a3 1.9 TDI sport. It has high mileage of 145K, but has had one owner from new and full service history, plus I have been told that majority of the miles are motorway miles. I am still slightly worried about the high mileage and am just wondering...

Anyone else know what the problem here could be?

I can close the windows in one touch i just cant close them when im locking the car using the fob, ive tried holding down the buttons for ages but it still dont work!

just fixed my electric window today, and i have had the window unplugged since i bought the car to stop anyone undoing it as it wouldnt go back up. However today i tried to close all windows by holding down the lock button on the fob, but it doesnt work!! It will work if i hold the key in the...

Did you have to move the battey as my battery is close up to the wing, so theres no room to put a cone filter beside it?

i just has a short service done for the stamp as i have fsh. im going to do the rest myself, but can anyone tell me how to change the fuel filter? i have a 99 1.8t?

i have just been trying this for an hour in my car and eventually managed to turn off the service light, but i had to do it different from what people say on here and different from what my manual says. i had to hold in right button, then turn ignition on, then immediately pull OUT the left...

So does it not matter where I remount it the engine bay, or does it need to be near or inside some type of cold air feed?

Today while i was replacing my dipstick guide which i broke whilst doing my thermostat, i thought i would quickly check the air filter as i havnt owned the car long. Anyway it was filthy. I did think my car was a bit sluggish for a 1.8t, so i took it for a nip down the road with the airbox...

No car is all completely standard I think.
