Hi, I noticed lately, that if I turn on the rear window defroster, the defroster relay starts to continuously click(on-off-on...) until the engine gets warm. I also noticed that the heated seats don't heat up as much as they used to while the relay clicking happens. A couple of days ago, I...

Hi, I retrofitted a MIB2 High (8v1 035 035) unit into my PFL A3(factory fitted with MIB1 High, TSR, ACC with dome radar, Lane Assist,) , all works fine except some issue with Traffic Sign Recognition. Shortly after engine startup I get "Traffic Sign Recognition: Currently Restricted"-with the...

Hello, Any idea if the halogen low beam projector from a 2002 8L A3 is the same as the ones from a 2002-2004 A4 B6 headlight? I'm thinking of ordering this kit for my A3, and I was wondering if it was a straight fit on A3s as well.

Any idea if it would work? Both seem to have the same 3 connectors. Is the 1999-2000 S3 IMMO2 or IMMO3?

I have a 2002 A3 1.8T AUM and I noticed something a couple of days ago: after normal driving(cruising at 100km/h in 5th gear on relatively flat roads), the exhaust manifold was glowing red, but it was not a strong glow - maybe during the day would have been unnoticeable. Today, after a similar...

Hi, I replaced my original RNS-D with an aftermarket Kenwood unit, but I have very poor radio reception. Lately I think even the RNS-D had weaker reception, but with the new HU I barely get 2 station using the auto-store function, and even the rds signal is too weak(station names appear with...

Hello, I bought a cheap AUQ ECU from a Skoda Octavia VRS, the ECU is stock acording to the seller. I wanted to try it on my A3 1.8T AUM, but of course the new ECU must be paired with the instrument cluster. I managed to retrieve the login codes for both ECUs, and followed the steps from the...

I remapped my car last month and now I'm a bit paranoid of stuff blowing up:laugh:. A bit of history, not really relevant. The original map was sent to the guys at Viezu, but the first map they sent back was giving me the 17705 error. I searched for boost leaks and verified valves and stuff...

Hello, I replaced the camshaft chain tensioner, with a new one, 3weeks ago, because it was rattling and leaking oil. A couple of days ago I scanned my car for errors and I got this error: "16396/P0012/000018 - Bank 1: Camshaft A (Intake): Advance Setpoint not Reached (Over-Retarded) -...

I have a 2002 A3. Sometimes(randomly) the recirculation flap starts opening and closing continuously when I have my HVAC set on Auto. If I press the "Recirculation" button then the flap stays shut. Using VCDS I found no error in the system. I had a spare HVAC control unit that I tried and...

Hi, my car(a 2002 A3 1.8T) didn't had heated mirrors from the factory and from what I read it was just a plug and play job to upgrade to them. I checked to see if the wiring was present in the mirror casings and afterwards I ordered a pair of non-OEM heated glass, but after I installed them...

Hello, I have a problem with my fuel gauge indicator from my 2002 A3 1.8T. Since I bought the car, the fuel gauge was showing that I had more petrol in the tank than i actually had. When the tank is close to empty the fuel gauge indicator is close to the half-mark from the dial. It is definetly...

Hello, Are the climate control buttons from the facelifted A4 B5 and A3 8L the same(color, shape)? It is hard to tell from pics only. I want to replace the buttons from my A3 as they are in really bad shape. Thank you! To avoid confusion I'm talking about this type of climate control:

Hello, I want to upgrade from my Non-Bose RNS-D to a standard double-din aftermarket unit(I'm looking at some Pioneer units), but I can't find anywhere a 2-din fascia adapter plate for 8L A3. Does anyone know where could I find one for 8L A3? Is the fascia from a B6/7 A4 easily adaptable to fit...
