hello again, I have a hot start issue on my 130 PD, fine when cold, cranks for ages when hot internet searches suggested low cranking speed may be issue(needs to see 250 rpm when hot), battery was old anyway so fit new one and cleaned up all main earths, spins over a treat , but same hot...

hi all after not posting for a long time, work and life (or rather almost lack of life, a touch of cancer) I find myself requiring the vast knowledge that is audi-sport i'm doing a cam belt change on my TDi , its a PD engine and i'm slightly confused as to which bolts are TTY and hence require...

yep common fault, any of the instrument cluster repair sites will list this under the usual faults description m

darkside tend to supply stuff for diesels, the linked kit is for a 1.9 TDI, so not sure if it'll be ok for an S3?? It probably has same bolt patterns but may be wrong weight, power handling for an S3 give em a ring, they usually pretty helpful

did clutch kit include slave cylinder/release bearing? new flywheel bolts? i found that some "complete kits" were less complete than others not driven hard or slip clutch for first 1000 miles?, easy, just do as it says, relax and drive like an old man for a bit :)

could well be the gauge itself, I think its a known problem on older units. there are places that can fit new dials, but you have to send the instrument panel off to them, so no car for a week.

interesting stuff my reading of the wiring diagrams is that the HVAC unit gets its temperature reading not directly from the ECTS but from somewhere else, possibly the instrument panel. This because it does not show a temperature sensor input to the HVAC, but does show some links to the...

vcds lite will not exercise the flaps, but I think gives feedback on position the matrix can be reverse flushed in situ, there are some vids on you tube are you sure about the channel on the climate control unit, I found a few different listing for the channel definitions, is it always on...

I would have thought that this indicates an issue with the heater matrix " If I manually set it on HI and maximum volume, then I only get lukewarm air" what is the temperature of the feed and return pipes to the matrix? might be a blockage of some sort in the matrix? if the return pipe is...

dr S not done anything yet, ordered the die cast boxes, but been away a lot over crimble so not had much time to do anything I might throw them in just to see if there is any interference and check the beam pattern, then work on modifying the covers if its all good

well, the LED bulbs arrived last week, pretty quick service from china first issue is that there are two spade connectors, same size, but no indication as to which one is 12v or earth, quick email to seller got a response in one day, black lead is 12v, impressed with speed of response did a...

when I was refilling the coolant and accidently overfilled the expansion tank, the excess coolant ended up on the drive, by the wheel, so I would assume it just dumps it on the inner wing and gravity does its thing

ok, that's good to know. I have them on order so i'll have a little play when they arrive

good to know about the lack of noise, as one of the dips died over the weekend I think I'll order a set of the LED's needs a bit of work as the dust cover on the back of the headlight is pretty tight up the bulbs

thanks mr t, i'll have a look for some

has anybody found a decent substitute for this? I want to touch up the usual areas and it seems that its no longer available from the dealers cheers m

some of the cheaper LED drivers are cheap for a reason, they miss out internal components that filter out electrical noise from being injected onto the 12v supply, this can then affect other components, such as the radio, there is a thread on the 8L forum about this at the moment. its a similar...

hi did you get any radio interference with these LED's? there are a few other threads about LED headlights that had issues with the radio not working after fitting cheers m

cant help on the interference, apart from the noise suppressor, but have you got ant more details on the LED's, ie which kit, any good, easy to fit cheers

which bushes/wishbone? the front wishbone on A3 bushes are not that bad to change at home, cut the old ones out, install new ones with a bit of threaded rod and sockets or any decent auto repair shop should be able to press them in, its not difficult
