Mine also had some dust on the gel pad. When I looked in Elsawin at the installation manual, it says there's a specific product for cleaning the surface of the gel pad before installation. I couldn't find the right product to buy, and didn't want to risk trying something random, so I just very...

Yeah I started to live with it too, until I took out the courtesy car and realised how much quieter it is without the noise! It's a bit annoying that something like this should come up when it's only three years old. How old is yours? I wondered if it might be affected by using dynamic mode?

Thanks for the info. I had a look through the warranty and there is a huge list of things that aren't covered. I actually just got off the phone with them and because I've only had the car a month, they've agreed to do it for free.

I took my A3 8V in to the dealership hoping to get some bits sorted under the used warranty. The main thing is a creaking noise when turning the steering wheel. Dealer has come back and said it's the airbag squib (I guess they mean the slip ring?) and that because it's not a 'mechanical...

Ah that makes sense. Thanks. I couldn't find how to get into coding the sensor itself. Will look into it.

Yes will do when I get home this evening. Cheers.

I retrofitted the rain and light sensor and a new headlight switch (with auto position) on an Audi A3 8V. The sensor is working fine, as are the auto headlights and wipers. What I'm not sure about, is that the instrument lighting is now constantly on with full brightness (regardless of the...

I'm looking into fitting / having fitted some rear parking sensors for my A3 8V. Preferably I would like the distance shown on the MMI. I am a little confused about the options. I have seen sensors described as OPS, APS, PDC, etc... I also found the kit with part no. 8V0054630A - is this only...

@Rcord: thanks for the info - that's good news! I only ordered the sensor and switch, so all is good. I'm considering getting a VCDS cable, as there a few things I want to change anyway. I did message some people from the map, but haven't heard anything back yet.

Just a quick update on this. I found out by checking the PR codes that I actually have halogen headlights, so I will need the switch with the dip adjustment (8V0 941 531 AJ). Also, I took the mirror off, and found I already have a sensor there - 8UO 955 559 (humidity sensor). That must be...

Okay I see. I've been looking at buying the sensor and found some cheapish ones on ebay, but they don't come with the loom. But Kufatec has the loom for £24, so I would probably go for that. One more question - did you replace/install a gel pad when you fitted the sensor? If so, was it the...

@Rcord That's really helpful, thank you. Just to clarify, as you had the mount ready to accept the rain sensor, did you have to also replace the loom, or not? I looked into the switches more, and with the help of my handbook I figured out that I need the 8V0941531AE switch: That has both...

I was hoping to retrofit the light and rain sensor for my A3. I would just like to check first, do I just need the sensor and the headlight switch with auto position? And will it need re-coding with VCDS or similar to work properly? Also, I have seen various kits available for purchase...
