    ABS Warning Light

    Hi all Just nipped to the shops and the ABS warning light has lit up on my 53 plate 2.0 TDI. Had a quick read of some other threads on here relating to this and I understand it could be due to various things. However, last month I took my car back to a garage that fitted me two CV boots which...

    CV boot failed within 10 months

    Hi all My 53 plate 2.0 TDI failed its MOT last year due to split CV boots on both sides. I had them repaired last November, cost me circa £45 each iirc. I've just recently had new tyres fitted and, to my surprise, the chap mentioned I needed new CV boots. I'm not sure about the driver's side...

    What the hell just happened to my car?!

    Hi all I've got a 2003 2.0 TDI Sport, just put my foot down on a slip road and there was a loud pop sound accompanied by a large plume of smoke out of the exhaust and massive loss of power.

    Replacement lower front grill on 53 plate

    Hi I've mysteriously lost a chunk out of one of the horizontal bars in the lower front grille on my 53 plate TDI Sport. Does anyone know if I can get a replacement lower grille and if so whether it's easy to fit or can this only be replaced with a whole new bumper? I can see replacement upper...

    A3 2.0 TDI Sport 140 (53 plate) - Engine Idle Judder

    Hi all I've just bought my first German car in the form of an A3 2.0 TDI Sport 140 (53 plate). I bought the car off a close friend so whilst it's done just short of 150k miles, I know the car well and it's been diligently serviced and cared for. The problem I have, which I was aware of before...
