After being plagued by a number of problems with my beloved A3 I think I'm finally down to my last one. Under heavy acceleration I hear a very odd clicking/cracking noise, it almost sounds as if something is about to break and because of that I always feel the need to let off. Now the problem...

All I need to know is if the transfer box is a separate sealed unit to the gearbox on the manual Quattros? Does it require it's own oil or does it share the oil from the gearbox?

Another day, another noise on my car. Sometimes I wish it weren't my daily so I could park it up and deal with the problem when I have a bit more time but I really need to get to the bottom of this one as it's affecting my use of the car. Basically the problem came on very quickly. Under...

Wondering if anyone can help me, I jut had 2 new tyres on the front of my car and had the tracking done at the same time. All good but I drove down the road and noticed my traction control kicking in, it seems worse when taking a left hand bend. Tyres on the front of the car are the same width...

I've had a bit of a problem with my steering since my subframe was dropped whilst the steering u-joint was still connected. The subframe dropped enough for the u-joint to separate from the rack while the bolt was still holding it on to the rack. Since it was put back together the steering has...

I think my passenger side front hub may be bent after my car took a slip in the ice last winter. I need to replace it but which one will fit. As my car is a 1.9tdi quattro I'm assuming the only one that will fit is one from the same car or an S3, would anyone be able to confirm? Thanks in advance.

I recently did a gearbox fix on my car, the fork had snapped so all has been replaced and the gearbox works fine now. Only problem is during the repair the subframe was dropped and has been re-fitted. I've quickly given the car a run and whilst it all seemed good but there is an issue with the...

I recently did a little bit of work on my car, part of the work involved lowering the subframe. When it was dropped down a mate decided to move the steering wheel from outside the car, after the key was put in (no battery in the car) he tried to turn the steering wheel to knock off the steering...

Hi guys, I have a slightly odd query. I did a disk and pad change last night on my 03 A3 Quattro TDi, all seemed great, I finished up the job and thought I'd take the car round the block for a quick test to make sure the brakes were performing okay. I got it back to my house and went to...

Hi, I've just done a quick search of the forum and on Google with regards to this problem but I fail to get a definitive answer or something that seems remotely right. About 2 weeks ago I fitted a new steering rack to my A3 (Quattro TDi). It had failed and blown a seal leaving me with the...

Hi guys, I kind of skipped the introduction but I'm in serious need of some help. Firstly it's good to know there's such a good forum with a wealth of knowledge! But my search didn't return the results I was looking for. I have an 03 A3 TDi Quattro - it's a great car and does the job I got it...
