Hi all, I have a 59 plate A3 sportback. Over the past year all the door except the drivers door have stopped unlocking. This problem was intermittent to start with. Now all the other doors seem dead. The button inside does not unlock them either. The only way to open them is to use the inside...

Hi all, I have an Audi A3 (8p1) with the Audi Concert stereo in. I have the 30 pin iPod docking thing in the glove box and the Aux connector near the arm rest. However, I want to know if there is a way to use a USB stick to play music? Any type of adapter or anything? Thanks Chris

Yes i think i am going to take it to them tomorrow. An auto electrician came out told me it could be the fuse box of the relay. Swapped both today and the problem is still there. He made me a cable so i can use the car if i need to. I have taken the below picture. Fuse one is powered by fuse...

So its not the battery i can rule that out. However, when i bypass the J682 Terminal 50 voltage supply relay in the fuse box under the bonnet it fires up straight away. Or if i connect a cable to the earth and give it a good earth it fires up but for some reason it stays energised. Anyone...

It was the right side (drivers side) and it was the full back light (not the one on the bootlid). Yes it's very simple to get out, the only tricky part was disconnecting the plug, that was fiddly. Once you get it out, there is another plastic casing to take off that holds the bulbs in. Take...

Hello, After everything I found the problem myself when parking my car up. I walked around the back and seen one of my rear lights was full of water. The water in the light must of been affecting the instrument cluster. It is all linked after all, as the instrument cluster tells you when a...

Hi all, I have had my car coming up to 2 years. Since getting the car the DPF light has come on about every 2 weeks. I don't do much motorway travelling so i thought this was right. I go on the motorway and keep the revs about 2000 until it clears. However I was recently out with my cousin in...
