Evening, Just been out in my b6 and now have an amber warning it’s a image of an oil can with sensor. A quick Google suggests a faulty oil level sensor, wiring or fuse. I’m not going to have chance to check too much other than the fuse and oil level until the weekend, I assume it’s fine to...

Has anyone gone down this route? Only asking as I've had my 2011 2.0tdi a3 for a couple of years now & it had the recall applied prior to my ownership. It also had a new EGR a while after (2019 i think) I don't drive the car much (mrs uses it) but when I do, it just doesn't feel 'right' but...

I've currently got 2 Bulb warnings that are a bit intermittent. One is the rear right brake light, which looks like a bit of corrosion. But the other is the Rear LEFT fog light bulb?... there isn't a rear left bulb. When the warning is lit the rear RIGHT fog bulb (bottom one in the holder) isn't...

Hi All, Does anyone happen to know the part number for the Rubber O-ring for the egr valve connection? It's for a 2004 1.9 tdi (AVF) Had a bit of oil leaking from the egr for a while now, so I am going to remove the egr in the next few weeks & give it a clean up & as the oil appears to be coming...

Just when i thought I'd had enough bad luck with my A3, the Mrs comes in tonight saying there is a light on the dash.. Turns out it's a very faint amber steering wheel light, so it's not 'on' but slightly glowing. I've just gone out & scanned the car for faults & other than the usual 2 (No.3...

For quite a while now I've been getting intermittent Limp mode, normally when taking it to higher revs and up hill. I've had a look at the actuator in the past & that has been pretty stiff to move so am assuming it's the usual sticky vanes, I've tried the turbo cleaner fuel additive that...

Hi All, I've noticed this for a while now.. When I use the 'single wipe', normally on first sweep the wipers go up, then down (out of view when driving) pause for a second & the wipers then move up a little bit so i can see the passenger side wiper arm at the side of the windscreen, if i then...

The latest Woe with my b6. Recently I've noticed the steering is creaking when making big turns/parking etc.. don't really notice when just turning a little. Anyone got any simple suggests to cheer me up as I'm feeling front suspension top mounts/arms... which will be an expensive job no doubt...

MOT approaching fast & i've had the ABS & ESP lights coming on intermittently for a while now. Originally my amazon special code reader did pick up a code relating to the rear right wheel speed sensor (think it was code 287), however this past week the lights have been on constantly, I put the...

Just wondering if any of you have any knowledge of this, I've had my 2011 A3 tdi for about a year & initially the stop start was working (so I kept turning it off lol!) but over the past year it's stopped working. Now, I've just had the clutch/dmf replaced after it died on me last week, and now...

Evening all, as my luck would always have it. I'm 200+ miles from home on a bank holiday weekend and my car has decided to play up. The clutch pedal has gone odd, the bite point is right on the floor and it's more of an on off switch than a clutch! It still drove ok. I did pump the pedal a few...

Yesterday my b6 brought up the esp & abs warning lights intermittently. So couldn't get a code. Today the lights seem to be on all the time now so scanned it and got code 00287 which seems to relate to rear right abs sensor. I take it that it the driver's side rear then? When I was...

Hi All, From a previous thread, it would seem i have a faulty Alarm Siren so will need to replace this at some point. So my question is, would there be any problems in pulling the fuse for the alarm to disable it for the time being to stop it going off at random? (need to see what fuse this is...

Got another potential issue with my A3. In the middle of the night last night the alarm went off on my car. I turned it off, had a look around and saw nothing to concern me. Then today I was packing the car to go away, I locked it and went in the house and the alarm went off again? I've now...

Hi All, I have a bit of an odd very intermittent issue with my 2011 2.0tdi A3 (think cffb engine code) Every now and again, the car will feel like it's almost pulling back/feel very hesitant for a second. You put your foot down and it picks up & is fine. This normally happens when coasting/ at a...

Hi All, The other half came home from work yesterday (in the heat!.. typical) and was complaining that the internal heater/ac fans weren't blowing. I had a look & the control panel part is working fine, can turn the fan up & down, click the auto, move the vents & you can hear the flaps moving...

Hi all, In my quest to solve this intermittent abs/esp/god knows what issue with my b6, i'm suspecting it may be an abs sensor issue.. (among potentially other things) Now my question, do any of you know if there is a free/cheap way to monitor the wheel speed via the sensors to give me...

Hi all, After a bit of info regarding the impact of having a dead/dying steering angle sensor. I've had intermittent esp light for a couple of years now. And this gave a error for the sensor. But not caused me an issue. Then a couple of times in the last year or so I have had the traction...

Hi All, For the 3rd time now over the years a front window regulator is playing up. In the past I've paid around the £50 mark for eurocarparts regulators & they've lasted a few years. However I've now noticed some on ebay for £15! I know it's probably a case of you get what you pay for but...

Hi All, Driving home yesterday, pulled away and the car as good as died!.. the esp light was flashing & the power just kept coming & going just as when the esp kicks in. Then after a few seconds it was back to normal. I pulled over, stopped the car & restarted it & all was fine? then drive home...
