    A4 Avant 1.8t

    Greetings all, Long time Audi driver, first time A4 driver. Started with a 2001 A3 8L 1.8t which I had for 7 years and loved every minute. Decided to move up to a 2005 A6 C6 2.4 multitronic saloon just before Christmas last year but missed the manual gearbox too much so traded in and have just...

    Indicator stalk dis button

    Hi all, First post in here, just picked up a 1.8t B7 Avant last week, delighted so far. One odd thing though; the indicator stalk is missing the rocker button at the end of the stalk and Reset button to control the dis (mpg, journey time etc.) The dis only displays km's left until I need to...

    Multitronic to be avoided?

    Hi all, I'm looking to upgrade from my 2001 A3 turbo to something a little bigger and comfier, and drove a 2005 2.4 V6 A6 saloon last night. Beautiful car, and the right price, but when I got home I started doing a bit of research and its looking like the multitronic gearbox of that era was...

    Nokia Phone Kit

    Might be the wrong place to be asking this, but unsurprisingly enough I'm not a member of any Nokia forums! Anyway, when I disconnect from my handsfree kit (not sure of the model number, but it's a common enough one, my phone is a 6230i), the phone often shuts down for a few seconds, before...

    Bike rack/towbar?

    Hey, I've done a search on this and can't seem to find any definite answers. I'm after a bike carrier for my car, but as far as I can make out, I won't be able to mount a strap on type one on account of my spoiler, so I'm looking at getting a detachable (and most importantly of all fully...

    New Armrest

    Hey, just took delivery of a nice shiny new armrest courtesy of German eBay. There are often posts up about the mechanism/button breaking, so I was wondering would it be a good idea to 'fix' any problem before it occurs, as a preventative measure. Think I remember reading something about...

    1.6 suspension?

    Hey, I saw a '98 1.6 A3 on 18's the other day, wheels looked nice but car seemed to be sitting very high. Does anyone know the different suspension set up heights between a standard 1.6 and a (2001) 1.8TS? Just out of curiosity! Cheers, Marc

    Indicator Stalk Problem

    Hey, I had a problem a while back with the indicator/hazard light relay, so got a replacement, which didn't solve the problem. So it looks like the problem is in the indicator stalk itself. Has anyone had this problem before? I figured someone on here would have! Basically whats happening is...

    Door Pulls?

    Hey, does anyone know if the interior door pulls are replaceable seperately, as in without getting a whole new door card? The bit I mean is where the window switches are located. It has a kind of rubbery paint type stuff on it, but its peeled away pretty badly, exposing nasty shiny plastic...

    Mid?

    This probably seems like a stupid question, but what exactly is mid? I have a Bose system in my A3 and have fiddled up and down with the mid control, but cant hear any difference at all. What does it do, or is there just something wrong with me?!

    Tax Disc Holder?

    Hey, silly question really, but it's been bugging me for a while. I have a 2001 A3TS, and it has a weird tax disc holder type thing (black plastic), which has a cable running out of the bottom of it leading in behind the dashboard. Is this part of the alarm, or an aerial for the Nokia phone kit...

    Lateral acceleration sensor

    Hey, the esp light has been on intermittently on my 2001 1.8TS for the past month or so, and we've pinned it down to a lateral acceleration sensor. What I'm really after is the part number for this, anyone know it by any chance? I've done a search but couldn't find it. Also, any ideas of...

    Spoiler?

    Hey, I know this has been posted before so apologies in advance. I was after an oem style (S3) spoiler, and have looked around everywhere and am having real difficulty finding one. Eurocarparts were mentioned before but they don't have one without the brakelight, and s3-tuning in Germanys name...

    Bose speaker replacement?

    Hey, just got a 2001 A3 Turbo with Bose, but have two problems, both in the left door. The speaker cover is missing from the small speaker (sorry, don't know the proper name!) by the door handle, any ideas where I can get a replacement, how much it would cost? Secondly,the larger speaker further...

    Indicator clicking?

    Hey everyone, just got my first Audi, a 2001 A3 Turbo. Pretty chuffed so far, besides one or two minor niggles. After I cancel the indicators the clicking continues for a couple of seconds, usually faster than normal, but the indicators themselves are off. Anyone have any ideas what it might...
