Morning guys, I need to replace the sender unit in my fuel pump, and I've not been able to properly find out which part I need. Could anyone confirm for me that this is it? Thanks, dirtychinchilla

I've been wondering about the screen on my dash, which normally would show things like MPG etc. Mine has never actually done anything, and I believe it was an option that wasn't specified when the car was bought. I don't have the computer control buttons on the wiper stalk, so I'm wondering...

Hey guys, As the title states really, is there anything I should be aware of or doing for my automatic gear box as it's now approaching 100k, and I don't want it to suddenly explode or something... Thanks in advance, dirtychinchilla

Hey guys, Another novice post here. I need to change my top mounts and bushings, and I've got a friend who knows what he's doing so he's going to give me a hand. Can I just check that I've got the correct part numbers? I've been looking on here, and I think I need: Top Mount Bushing Are...

So I've just had my tyres changed and I need the tracking done. I've read that not all cars have adjustable rear wheels, in which case you only need the fronts aligned? Is this the case for an a3?

Hey guys, Any idea where this component is from? It appeared in my foot well and I've no idea what it is! Thanks!

Hey guys, Just looking at changing my wheels and tyres. My A3 came with non-standard rims, so I'm just wondering what the factory tyre size is? Thanks, dirtychinchilla

Hey guys, I very rarely fill my car to the brim. I think I've done it once since buying it about a year and a half ago. I absolutely brimmed the tank recently for quite a long journey, and as soon as I got back into the car I noticed that the fuel gauge was showing about 1/8th more fuel than...

Afternoon all, As the title states, my headlight switch is stuck on. Every time I get out of the car now, I have to unplug the electrical connection to the switch. I've replaced the switch but that's not helped at all...can anyone advise me about what I can do? Thanks in advance, Dirtychinchilla

Hey guys, Just reading in the Haynes manual about how to change the thermostat as mine is jamming. It says that I need to drain the cooling system. Is this necessary?? Thanks, dc

Hey guys, I need to take a 12V feed off somewhere other than the cigarette lighter in my car to rig up a USB port for my iPhone. I have it connected to the cigarette lighter currently, and because the lighter socket has a light connected to it, when you turn on the interior lights it turns off...

Evening, As the title states, has anyone installed a USB socket for their iphone 5 successfully in their car? I've tried a cigarette lighter adapter, and if you solder to it then the iphone won't charge. I'm thinking that installing a USB port would work, but it really needs to be 5V and 2A...

Hey guys, Anyone know where I can get, or might be able to give me, the cap that goes on the wiper to protect the nut? Both the but and the cap fell into the engine bay never to be seen again! Thanks Dirtychinchilla

Hey guys, I'm hoping to put a Sony head unit into my A3, and I've been doing a bit of research to do with the adapter that I need for the wiring harness. I've found this, but it seems rather expensive, so does anyone either know what it's called, or know where I can get one cheaper? SONY 16...

Evening all, I was just wondering if anyone knows of any impartial services where I can get my car serviced. I live near Staines in Surrey, if that's any help. I took my A3 to Audi last year for the fixed priced service, and afterwards the guy said I "needed" £1700 worth of repairs. BS...

Hi guys, Just a quick question, I'm looking at some A3 8P speakers on eBay, presumably from a 5 door. I have a 3 door A3 8L 2003 - will these speakers fit? I don't want to buy them and find they're wrong after taking the door cards off etc :D Edit: In fact, would this set up fit? *AUDI A3 MK1...

Morning all, I've had the faults, as per the thread title, of the glow plug system light flashing, and ESP light permanently on, in my car, which began on Saturday. This has happened before, but it went off after a couple of days. Also, this morning when I got in the car there were no warning...

Afternoon all, I have an A3 8l 3dr 2003 mk1 and I'm just looking at some seats for it. Quite urgently, would A3 8l Quattro sport seats fit?? Thanks, and haste is appreciated :D Dirtychinchilla

Morning all, I have a 2003 A3 8L MK1. It has the usual dash display, which shows when the service is due and does the oil check etc, but there's a screen above, which I thought would show MPG and various other bits. I did read in the manual that if I had the onboard computer I should have a...
