    Battery Question again sorry

    Hi, Is it safe to replace old battery (61 Ah, 540A CCA) with "E44 Varta Silver Car Battery" (577400078) (77 AH and 780 Cold Cranking Amps)? The old battery in my A3 1.9Tdie 105bhp - 2008 is 240mm in length where as the new one is 278mm. I checked battery box, seems around 292mm. Many Thanks,

    Radiator Fan Issue

    Few months back Audi recommended coolant change. So coolant change on mine is due. That might be the cause? Booked for cam belt + water pump + coolant change next week.

    Radiator Fan Issue

    Interesting to know, was not expecting all this from Audi. I never ever have had this issue on my car. Noticed it from last few days. Fan stays on even if the ignition is on and engine is off.

    Radiator Fan Issue

    Yesterday when I pulled up my car (Audi A3 1.9tdi) onto my drive, I noticed the radiator fan was on, temp gauge in car was just below half way and it is less than 10 deg outside temp. I drove the car for 10minutes. Fan went off when I switched off the engine. Any ideas?

    Retrofitting Trip Computer on Audi A3
