    Help Please Power tailgate not working

    So I took it back. Said i wasn’t happy and it was working before. They said they’d get their diagnostic fella to take a look since they aren’t a vag specialist. Turned out to have water corrosion on the unlocking latch causing the motors to sit and wait for a signal that never came. So purely...

    Help buying 2009 3.0 TDI Quattro

    Mine has 220k on it currently and drives lovely. It’s just the bodywork and alloys that need love. Interior is damage free and freaky hides it’s age. I just had a clutch and dmf done that wasn’t cheap but hey ho. I guess I’ll keep it now

    Electronic handbrake should it auto release

    What did you do to your audi today

    Finally repaired my power boot! It has been a bit intermittent to close on the first press of the button and when it finally stopped I bought a new button. Only this didn’t fix it. The only way to shut it was to pull it down a bit until the motors took over. couldn’t find any info on the...

    Power boot not shutting

    2008 avant my power boot hasn’t been closing off the switch for a while and I knew there was corrosion on the switch from a previously leaky wiper so I popped a replacement switch on. Only that hasn’t changed a thing... switch still lights up. Looks like someone has replaced it in the past as...

    Belly Pan / Under engine cover

    Remember to remove the rear bit if you have one else it vibrates really bad and would end up ripping off shortly after anyway

    Wheel wobble

    I have the same thing on mine but slightly fastest. Usually at 70. I had a bent wheel which I paid to have fixed. It still wobbled/vibrated adterwards so I put it on the balancer as it was mega obvious before that it was bent. The bend was gone but not the vibration... Both fronts were a few...

    Footwell lights on full brightness all the time

    Yeah just wondered if there was a vcds tweak that can set them to minimum by default instead of maximum. Every time I turn them down it’s back on max the next time I drive the car.

    Footwell lights on full brightness all the time

    i retro fitted footwell lights a few weeks ago and all works good but the background lighting settings always revert back to max when I turn it off and leave it a day. This means the footwell lights stay on while driving. If I turned them down to minimum they only light up when you open the door...

    Seat Cloth Upholstery Cleaner

    I used autoglym interior shampoo with good results on my half leather seats. I use their leather cleaner too as the S3 has full leather so keeping on top of keeping that clean too. This was the water afterwards!

    Convenience windows no longer working

    My S3 forgot how to do one-touch and down on the key. I went into measuring blocks on VCDS and saw the bits saying up, down, end point learnt. Did it for both doors and the key remote worked again. one-touch worked again afterwards. If that's the reprogramming method in VCDS I found it by...
