Just got off phone with mechanic. He has ran a compression test. Thinks the timing chain is OK. Diagnostic tool pointed to misfiring. Says my oil has contaminated with petrol so will need new oil replacing. Checked spark plugs and they are corroded (breakdown mechanic also confirmed this upon...

Hoping there is a diagnosis tomorrow on the issue from garage so I can compare notes. Thanks for sharing info on this ronniejack :thumbs up:

Thanks for sharing this. I think post garage fix I will be investing in a diagnostic tool for basic reading of faults

Fingers crossed the timing chain isn't too bad :anguished: Will update thread I hear update from garage on diagnosis

It's at the garage. Had it recovered earlier at lunchtime. The wide mentioned the breakdown mechanic did have a brief look and checked spark plugs and fortunately didn't see any oil in them. He did assume either turbo is going but thought more on the side of pressure/air leaking from somewhere...

Morning all On previous recording, startup engine was shakey with a little erratic idling. Has gotten progressively worst over the weekend. My Mrs this morning on school run started the car and immediately engine sounding rough and shakey and then stalled. She did start the car again after a...

Looking and listening to car now (hood up) I can't hear anything so looks like an intermittent problem. Ideally I would like to hear and record the sound so at least I can show mechanic to help diagnose

Thanks for responding. Almost finished work for the day so will get video done on this. Current mileage is 66k

Afternoon all, Only had my Audi A3 a couple of weeks but have noticed over the weekend when parked (engine running) that idling sounded a little rough. My Mrs is driving the vehicle today and has experienced the same but now says the car is shaking and is jerking. She has recorded a video and...

Afternoon all, One of the key fobs (we have 2) pretty much had none existent buttons and a dead battery, so ordered a replacement fob off eBay. Initially when I did the swap over I ported over the circuit board. When trying the fob the doors would lock/unlock but the car would start/stall then...

Front speakers are all good. Ideally would just like to know if I could somehow power the amp for the rear speakers. Hoping maybe someone knows the colour wire which does it from the audi harness

If I can't work it out wipo definitely have a look. Thanks for responding :sunglasses:

Ideally I want like to use the current Iso adapter and modify it but worst case scenario it's worth knowing which adapter from Halfords. Can you remember which one?

Good morning forum peeps, Only introduced myself on the welcome thread the other day and now bringing you guys a problem already. I have a 2010 Audi A3 1.4 TSI which I only recently bought a few days ago. I initially planned on transferring my Kenwood Apple/Android Double Din unit from my...

Thank you Tashfeen! I honestly don't mind the drive to pick up good examples and sounds like you have the same protocol :icon thumright:

Here is it... Sorry not anymore pics as late for work :sweatsmile:

Morning Sandra! I went from London to York yesterday to near enough almost 8 hours round trip with train and then driving back. Absolutely knackered :sleeping: About to leave house for work (running so late) so will take a pic on way out

Hello forum members! Just got back from a long drive up north to pick up my first A3 1.4 TSI 2010. Deliberated a long time if I should go auto as always driven manual cars but we took a plunge and went for the auto DSG. Thought ahead and first thing I will do is remove the factory headunit and...
