Hi guys. just an update.
So after a couple of months of pondering about whether to keep or scrap my car i decided to replace the engine .
Got one out of a 10 plate golf which drove into the scrap yard after a rear end shunt so had been written off.
Same cba engine and only 67000 on the clock...
Thought about it but just cant justify an extra £600 on the car considering its age and probably not worth much more than £1850 . Just been thinking about all the added extras and work done on it in the last few years.
Cambelt and water pump.
Brand new Febi Bilstein egr and anti judder valve...
Hi kudi009. Good find that thread m8. Wish id found it myself 6 years ago. Seems i was lucky to get to 143000 miles on mine. Mine had 111000 on the clock when i bought the car and nothing in the stack of paper work said anything about it being done previously. Although one invoice says cambelt...
Update.
So cost of fixing the engine is coming to upwards of 2 grand up to now which isn't worth doing due to the age of the car .
Now exploring options of a second hand engine and finding a decent mechanic willing to do the swap if i can find a decent replacement .
Haven't needed to travel much for work since covid m8 but still had a full service done at least once a year every year.
I think the most miles done in any of the last 4 years was about 6/7000. . Less than 33.000 in the last 6 years
Its starting to look like its not the pickup pipe itself but...
Little update.
Spoke to a very knowledgeable mechanic who thinks he knows the cause of the engine seizing .
Said he thinks it was caused by the oil pickup pipe becoming blocked which in turn has probably caused the oil pump to fail .
He thinks the crankshaft bearings have seized because of a...
Hi guys
So my a3 2.0 tdi now has a seized engine . 140.000 miles on the clock ..Completely out of the blue.
The jist of goes like this. Was happily driving along on Saturday afternoon when i stopped at a junction then suddenly engine developed a loud rattle and then banging noise .
Switched off...

By the looks of the brown speaker plug it only has connections and cables for front left and right speakers .
Are you sure your have speakers in the rear doors ? There maybe speaker grills but some cars didn't come with rear speakers installed
Was your original radio a symphony ?
Cant see why it wouldn't fit looking at pre facelift s3 bumper pictures on the web m8.
Maybe some nice chrome tail pipes as well m8 :thumbs up:.

I get what your saying m8 . That's why i have a custom rom on my xtrons unit at the moment .
Not sure if i could install custom firmware on the above model as cant find enough info on the internals at the moment.
cheers
