Will try and get to this tomorrow and let you know what I find. Thanks again

Just read through that and looks like I did all that was required. Maybe I’ll need to just take it all apart again and try to find what’s causing the issue but I inspected everything when installing it and never noticed anything untoward, also I’ve done window regs before on this car and never...

Hi all, So today I replaced the whole window regulator assembly and good news is my window works again, bad news is the window struggles to close. All the parts are greased up but even when I was manually moving the window up and down it’s like it’s harder to move when moving through the seals...

Hello everyone, I came to replace my drivers window reg today and had everything I needed to do the job or so I thought. following the information on Piglet.net it says I need 4 4mm rivets for the pulleys and a 6mm rivet holding the ref plate onto the frame. Problem is that the 4mm rivets I...

It doesn't click when moving straight, could this still be cv joint?

Hello, My wife has an A3 8P TDI 55 plate which was lowered when she got the car. Recently there has been a clicking noise happening. The noise happens when: The car is stationary, if you turn the wheel front left to right full lock there is a loud clonk noise and you can see the wheel sort of...

Ok so I’m hoping I can get some help with this, Currently in my A3 8L I have central locking pump with the code 8L0 xxx xxx “L” prefix (non radio remote) installed. I would like to have remote locking so I have ordered a pump with prefix 8L0 xxx xxx “G” (radio remote function) and match up my...

UPDATE: Today I took apart the cluster and found no tape covering the light. I plugged in VCDS and ran an output test which switched the EML on. However.. after looking for faults one did pop up saying Engine Control Module “No signal/Intermittent”. Can anyone shed any light on this? I’m...

Thanks for the replies. I went into the MOT centre and told them about the MIL light not being on the car and the reply was that it has to have an MIL light. I think I’ll take it somewhere else to get tested but I’ll take the cluster apart first and take photos just so I can prove to them that...

Hello everyone, I have an A3 8L 1.9Tdi with the AGR engine and it’s failed it’s MOT on the above. I’ve honestly never noticed it on my car and after reading an article online about an 8P not being fitted with an engine check light I’m hoping that this is the same for my car. can anyone shed...

Hello apologies.. yes a more powerful Tdi engine that is a straight swap into A3 8L (currently running a standard AGR code 1.9tdi 90bhp cheers

Hey guys, I’m looking for ideas while I have my A3 8L Tdi off the road. I’ve started thinking about dropping a more powerful engine in that is just a case of old lump out/new lump in.. straight swap over and no faffing about modifying things. is this possible or would it be better just...

Ah I see, since I got the car the key fob has not worked. The original owner said it just needed a new battery in the fob that was needed.. and here we are haha I tried covering the holes but when the parts were fitted together all I heard was two clicks on drivers door lock operation and then...

Here’s a video I took of both pumps. https://www.dropbox.com/s/594mpk1dqeb4ai6/Video%2014-03-2019%2C%2012%2056%2018.mov?dl=0

The guy says it’ll come with a 12 month warranty too. I’m just about to ask him what that covers

The strange thing is my mates pump is the same where it doesn’t match up but his was working fine? I’ve sourced a full motor with graphite parts for £40 from Poland. That would be ok right?

Thanks for the response S3 Rocks! Going on what you said about the square grooves... mine won’t match up due to the location of the screw holes :/ any ideas?

Hello, I’m new here since last night and since then I have been reading a lot of posts but not seeing one like mine so hopefully someone can very kindly help me. So, I bought a 1999 v reg Audi A3 8L and found that the central locking pump (code- 8L0 862 257 “L”) wasn’t working along with the...
