    Help....ESP Light on dash flickering dimly

    Thanks for the reply. Steering wheel Column has a punch mark on it for tdc and this car has had two track rod put on by last owner, a month apart, tracking done both times. Steering wheel moved to make central rather than set central and then tracking done. This is why I thought maybe the...

    Help....ESP Light on dash flickering dimly

    There isn't any. Esp switch not working so will change that first but anything to do with blue haldex install I wondered? Also told it could be the steering angle sensor as car had been tracked leaving wheel off centre, could that be an issue?

    Down pipe removal s3 8p quattro.

    Cheers,did a search and had a look a couple of pages back but just not far enough. All seems straight forward just the height needed to get the pipe out was my main concern as not great to get in the air, and best place for axle stands? Blooming pipe is fairly long and one piece so my concern...

    Headlights out with bumper still on? T30?

    So guys. As per the title it looks like 3 bolts (T30 are they?) from the top and light out? It's seems that straight forward but on a quick search it's always bumper off? Opinions please guys and confirmation of T30? Thanks

    Help needed. Confirm bulbs please.

    It's really just someone to confirm I'm looking at the right bulbs for now tbh. Not had a chance to have a look and might be a loose connection as had work done on that side of engine this past week

    Help needed. Confirm bulbs please.

    Car is an s3 8p quattro with bi xenon lights and I believe the bulbs are DS2? And are they osram 4300 from factory? Car had gone from flickering to dead on n/s so looking to try bulbs first but had a few different answers on bulbs sites so far. Thanks.
