But as a side note (sorry haha) the fogs and fog surrounds will be different on the S-Line than standard won't they

Sounds promising. Might look into S-Line then since I'm back to square one haha. S-Line would be better :yes:

Yeah, just as an idea so I know it's the right "parts" but will likely get OEM for peace of mind. Wasn't going to do S-Line as was told the bar behind the bumper would need changing if I did S-Line bumper instead of standard, is this right? I've arranged to send fog surrounds back for a start...

So will need this bumper: AUDI A3 2003 2008 Front Bumper Primed 3/5 Door Models Not S Line Models App Tuv | eBay And this grill: AUDI A3 2004 -2008 FRONT BUMPER RADIATOR GRILLE TOP A4C1712510 | eBay ? I think this is right? Fogs and fog surrounds from existing bumper will go into this.

Just my luck this. Bought the bumper, fogs, fog surrounds and grill. All of which aren't actually any good. Unless by a miracle the grill will be good to go into the 2006 bumper. Looks like a different fixing though.

I have clearly been misadvised. Can the 2009 - grill be put into a 2006 bumper? I know probably not..

Bumper I've bought: Genuine Audi A3 8P Facelift Front Bumper Grey 2009- [24] | eBay From various people's advice I am told the only thing needs changing is bonnet, fog lights, fog surrounds. When I looked on Euro Car Parts, same part number for 2009 or 2006 bonnet - am also told that any post...

Nah I ended up getting just a sportback one, still got to change the fog lamps and fog surrounds though as it's a 2008 bumper and from looking around I think this is when the fogs and fog surrounds changed. Bonnet arriving today from Euro Car parts so just need to get them both sprayed now...

Yeah they're different after looking properly. Ones on the new bumper are round whereas mine are round with a 'flat bit' at the top, surrounds are different too. Hoping it will be the same electrical connector though otherwise will need joining

Yeah I got one for a 2006. Found out that the bumper I got I need the fogs and fog surrounds so got them too. Stands me at £300 bang on at the mo. Just the spraying to do now and I can fit myself

Got the bumper, grill and bonnet. Just really wanting to know if the fog lights & fog light grill surrounds will fit into the new bumper? So I don't have to buy any. Then it's just a case of waiting for it all to arrive :)

Excellent, thank you. Well I've just ordered a bonnet from carparts4less and with a voucher I found it came to £119.40 - not too bad! Used ones on eBay are more. Need this and the bumper painting though. And just to check, will my current fog lights be okay? Literally just bumper, grill and...

Cheers, so I'd be looking at buying the bumper with grill. And also a bonnet from a 2005 or so? Lights are good to stay? Am told I may need some fog light surrounds but would Imagine these will be nice and cheap. Don't need to change the crash bar? Thanks!

Hi all, I have a 54 reg A3 with the split grill bumper. I am wanting to change to the next generation bumper, ie: AUDI A3 FRONT BUMPER NEW PAINTED ANY COLOUR INSURANCE APPROVED 2005-2008 | eBay Would this be a straight swap? Getting conflicting information from people - some say just the...

I'm useless with anything like that- is there anything obvious I can look for when looking at this? Sorry never touched stuff like this before. :)

Yeah I've replaced Throttle Body and about to change EGR anyway but not holding out much hope this will cure it. Car idle is terrible sometimes - bouncing up and down, getting sick of it doing my head in lol. People say I worry too much about little things, but it's little things that wind me up...

*Bump* :)

Boost pipes going into the intercooler are good. I was going to look into the sticky vane issue - this is the actuator rod isn't it? I was advised that it shouldn't be this, and that only overboost is down to the sticky vane? Correct me if I'm wrong though as I of course want to sort this out...

Anyone got any ideas at all? From what I've read the juddering on idle is pretty common on these so someone must have successfully sorted it out? Cheers in advance :)

Hey guys, Been having serious rough idle issues with my A3 and also a 'lack of boost' - starts to boost then stops then carries on a few seconds later. Anyways - after reading plenty of threads I decided to take off the EGR valve and give that a thorough clean - wouldn't believe how much soot...
