Afternoon, I need to change the short (nearside) shaft on my FWD 8P 2.0 TDI. I've got male spline tools for the inner CV bolts - but does anyone know the correct torque setting for those? Been a few weeks since I was doing the suspension but I seem to remember it had a large 12pt bolt at...

Morning, Doing checks ready for MOT on Monday and notice I have a reg plate light out. It's a 'solid' LED type, no bulb, and works if I push on it so obviously a loose connection somewhere. I've tried bending the pins on the back but it lasts a few seconds before failing again. Can anyone...

So, this has happened twice in the last fortnight. Basically accelerating hard onto the dual carriageway it pulls really well to start with and then drops into limp mode. No warnings on the dash. After a restart it will then be fine again, and I can push it right through 4th and 5th up to...

Ok, so I haven't looked through all 70 pages of the wheels sticky thread lol. But I like these on the Golf and just wondered why I haven't seen any on the 8P... I assume they're a straight fit? If no-ones got them, could someone shop them onto my car, 17" version so the same rim and tyre...

So, I thought I'd get used to this but haven't, and can't see any othrr complaints that arent S-line. I just find the car really uncomfortable and rough/jittery even on 30mph village roads, it seems to create constant bumps that I can't even see. My last VAG car was a MK4 Golf GT TDi on 17s...

Hi, I noticed TMC at the bottom of the nav screen today. It was crossed through so presumably not working. Found out its a traffic system but can't find out how it works on the A3, do I need to be on a certain radio station or anything? Also is the nav lady meant to say directions as she's...

Morning all, I'm just wondering what the most reliable VAG engine is? I know some people will say 'mines been fine' but over all, we know the BKD and ARL engines are known for major engine faults for example...and the 1.4 TSI cam chain faults, 1.8TFSI oil issues etc... So which is best...

Evening all, So, cruise control stalk fitted, Engine ECU coded (now has the 'G' in the engine code). Steering module coded. Clutch and brake switches checked on live data working fine, cruise on off switch checked on live data working fine. Yet the cruise doesn't work! Have I missed a module or...

Can anyone recommend a decent air con cleaner? I've got a bad smell coming from the vents with the AC off...though not with the AC on. Have replaced the pollen filter and used a Wynn's Mint AC bomb today but the bad smell remains, just with a slight minty smell on top lol. Keep seeing the...

Hi, I've searched and this seems a common issue on all marques with the BKD, but haven't found a proper solution so far. When cold it starts fine. When warm it takes several turns, to the point I think it's not going to start, but then fires up fine. Seems worse the warmer the engine is, so...

Hi, First post here...first of many I expect! Does anyone know how to switch off auto-relock on an 8P? 2004 model if it makes a difference. I have VCDS so can code it out if that's the only way. Basically my drivers door open microswitch doesn't work. I had the same issue on a mk4 Golf and...
