Can't seem to find this searching... In need of a new front bumper, grille and bonnet :-( Have been looking at breakers. Does anyone know will the front end of a 2005 3 door fit a sportback? Same trim level, sport.

Need to charge the OEM Varta battery in my 2005 2.0 TDI. Does anyone know if this is a sealed or wet battery? Only code I can see on top is VAO, and according to the Varta website that doesn't exist. No indication as to what the type is either.. black dynamic, blue dynamic etc. Its a 72Ah...

Have been looking at putting winter tyres on my Sportback Sport, running standard 17" Sport wheels. Was thinking would I be better off trying to get some 16" SE wheels or steels even for the winter tyres? Could I go as small as 15" and clear the brakes? On the standard sport suspension would...

Bushes on both front lower wishbones need doing, and I've heard it's generally a better idea to just replace the whole arm as the bushes are a PITA to remove and replace. 2 questions: Why are there 2 types of wishbone available? The pressed type and the cast type... I assume the cast type...

...still getting a ****** insufficient air-flow error up. Took out the valve and used a whole can of carb and intake cleaner cleaning it out until there was no crud left at all. Dropped it back in, tightened it all up and cleared the fault code. Took it for a spin and all seemed fine...

Don't think there's anything wrong with my DMF, but seeing as the car is now 5 years old was half thinking that precautionary measures mightn't be a bad idea. Couple of questions... The OEM DMF fitted to the 2.0 TDI 140 DSG is the Luk one yes? Is there a Sachs DMF for this engine...

Had the engine cover off this afternoon, and noticed that where my EGR valve mates to the intake manifold it doesn't seem to match up exactly. See the 2 threaded holes marked in red in the second photo. Can anyone tell me if this is normal?

Can anyone tell me where I can find torque settings for working on my Sportback? As far as I'm aware there's no Haynes for the 8P. Going to change the front wishbone bushes this weekend and want to make sure I tighten everything up correctly afterwards. I know the wheel nuts are...

Noticed the other day that the towing eye cover on my rear bumper has done a disappearing act, either fell off on the road or someone helped themselves to it (TBH nothing would surprise me these days). Has anyone by any chance got a spare silver metallic cover that they'd sell me? Maybe if...

Anyone on here fitted anything from this lot? http://www.tidstyling.com/ I quite the look of the steering wheel trim I gotta say! http://www.tidstyling.com/shop/step0.php?b_code=B20080711115514&c_code=C20090528120419

Could it be... From the Audi 100 Years Online Special microsite: "Grand ceremonial act on July 16 2009 in Ingolstadt with German chancellor Angela Merkel... For its 100th birthday, the premium manufacturer once again strikingly demonstrates its core competencies - appealing design and...

Can anyone suggest a good spot to earth my Phatbox behind the HU/aircon? None of the visible screws seem to be doing the trick... :arco:

Can anyone recommend a product to stick my parrot hands free to the dash? Its a CK3100... http://www.itsales2u.com/images/parrot-ck-3100.jpg I've tried No More Nails Permanent Strips, but every time the interior of the car heats up the unit falls off the dash!

Hi all, I wonder if someone could help me out, I'm a bit confused regarding what leads to buy to connect my Phatbox to the Concert 2 HU in my Sportback. My secondhand Phatbox (eBay) came with both the Audi round and VW rectangular leads. I've had the HU out to have a look at the back and I'm...

My Phatbox is on the way, sourced from good ol eBay. The unit I've bought is used and I'm not 100% sure whether it has the software with it. Is it possible to download the software from anywhere? (The Phatnoise site is currently down for maintenence so can't check there)

Anyone know if there any compatibility issues between a PhatBox purchased from the US and a Concert 2 HE in a European A3? Has anyone on here purchased a PhatBox from the US?

So I've been hmmming and hawwwing about getting a Bluefin for my 2.0 TDI 140 DSG Sportback for the last month or so. I finally have a bit of spare cash that I can put towards it, but before I do (if I do) should I get my cam belt done? The car has 108,500 KM / 67,400 M on the clock, so doing...

Can anyone tell me whether the Votex front spoiler for an 05 single grill sportback (I think its 8P9 071 609 9AX) is: (A) A whole new bumper piece i.e. take off the whole existing front bumper and replace it with this? or (B) A smaller trim piece that attatches to the existing front...

Out of interest, for day to day driving... how do you drive your DSG?

My 3rd brake light (the one above the rear windscreen) is gone, DIS picked it up this evening. Has anyone changed one of these before, or is it more of a dealer job? Can't find too much about it on here, is it uncommon for them to go on an 8P yet? Presume they're fairly long life, mine's an 05.
