    The Tyre Pressure Thread!

    I think its more that a lot of people are running different wheels to what was on the car originally. The sticker only usually shows the size on the car originally and one or 2 other random sizes. Edit: Oh mine are 225/40 R18 on an 8P2 Sportback 2.0TDI with DSG....dunno if the gearbox makes a...

    Well hello hello :) Eventually got a RT VCDS cable (from Nigel) so I've been messing about with some changes already. I'm not sure how to (or if I can) post attachments so here's a link to an .xls (Audi A3_VCDS Menus.xls 7.31MB) that I made earlier. Basically its just to keep track of my...

    VCDS Supplier

    Got my cable off Nigel the other day. Top man to deal with, delighted to have an original Ross-Tech cable eventually. Been put to good use on my Yeti, the A3 and on my oul lads passat to diagnose the ABS issue he's been having. Well recommended. Thanks Nigel!

    Wipers wipers wipers

    I eventually got my finger out and ordered a new rear wiper motor and blades for front & back while I was at it. The part that arrived was 8E9 955 711E as opposed to the ver. C that had clogged up with much from the leak inside it. Its the bottom one in the pic below I ended up using a ball...

    Original Audi number plate LED's that fit the A3 8P - plug & play!

    How about these bad boys ;) 18er SMD LED Platine, c5w, weiss I got these off them for the Yeti's DRLs which were a horrible faded yellow bulb, now they're a lovely white led drl. They throw up a canbus error so you need to link the resistor pack supplied with them in line. You could just buy...

    Original Audi number plate LED's that fit the A3 8P - plug & play!

    Am I getting confused or not? The 8P uses 2x C5W Festoon bulbs for the rear plate. I use the Philips Blue Vision LED C5W Festoon They work perfect without any CANBUS problems and are good for interior use too. Fairly bright too.......not as bright as the sun like the ones Paulie put up ;)

    A3 2.0TDi 140 Siren noise from turbo??

    Had the noise since I've owned my 2.0TDI 140 (for about 40,000 miles) and the turbo hasn't blown. I've driven a few of the VW Golf and A3 2.0TDI 140s we have in the company car pool and they all have the same noise to varying degrees from low to higher noises. None of them have ever had turbos...

Within the first 5 minutes of driving, at a set of lights and the idle goes rough and then it stalls. No intervention by the driver. Starts up no bother after and didn't happen...

    Sportback Upgrading

    Well I haven't had much of a chance to do anything on her in a while. The black grill surround is still to go on. I've ordered up 3 black s-line badges to replace the silver ones and the black audi logos but I'll see what it all looks like before I commit to the replacement :) Going to have a...

    Front parking sensors

    You can get them new on ebay and they'll colour them if you give them you're paint code. I got one a few months ago, just search ebay for your 4 character colour code and you'll find a parking sensor. Rear ones can be fitted without removing the bumper. All you need is a torch/mirror to get an...
