Hi all, My boot has recently started to fail to unlock with a press of the key (still works with the dedicated boot button though) and there is a loud humming noise that lasts for about 15 seconds coming from the left side of the boot, could the two things be related? I believe the thing...

Does anyone know what to search for to find a dipped beam bulb wire / plug for an 8L? My headlight seems to have stopped working even though I swapped the bulbs recently, on close inspection it seems that the single wire connector that connects to the bulb has melted and the wire is frayed, the...

Hi all, I recently got my thermo changed as my temp gauge was reading nothing. This did fix the problem, in that it will now go up to temperature and its reading seems to be correct (checked with an obd tool). However, it likes to sit around 60-70°c. It has gone up to 90 the odd time, driven...

Hi all, I'm having turbo woes - my car goes into limp mode in 4th and 5th, the issue that a lot of people with 1.9s seem to have. I thought I'd try some Forte turbo cleaner as I've seen a few people recommend it online (as well as a few dismissing it as snake oil). We'll see. I've got two...

Hi all, does anyone know if there is, somewhere on the car, a sticker (like for the paint, spec codes etc) which tells you what kind of fabric your seats are made of? I was thinking of having my driver's side seat bolster foam replaced and re-upholstered but would like to use the correct...

hello, I've installed a Connects2 aux interface adaptor to my A3 Symphony radio and it works great. The only issue is the radio won't sit snugly any more as the wire is there. It's also damaging the wire Has anyone found a nice way round this? Is there a way to run it under the ashtray or...

Hi all, I'm new to the forum, and new to Audi (previously been a Skoda cousin) so I'm no stranger to the VAG soggy footwell issue. I've re-read a lot of the threads around on the internet and am decently confident that the soaking passenger carpet in my newly bought 2001 A3 8L is down to water...
