Did you check fuses?

So, another update. The OEM crankshaft sensor arrived today and it has not fixed the problem. I am at wits end as to what this could be at this point. Something has gone wrong when I replaced the fuel rail, because since then it doesn't start at all, even when I put the old rail back in. I...

So, to update on this. I have taken the front end off again, and took out the new crankshaft sensor back out. I've now contacted a friend to get me an OEM part, maybe its the sensor after all. Also checked the lambda sensor, thinking the engine might have trouble starting because the exhaust...

Can't see any chaffing on it. There are a few places where the cable is exposed but the wires don't look damaged. Namely at the junction to the ECU and the harness from glow plugs, from which I am attaching a picture. I've now patched those up. I also tried running the car with no fuel filter...

The injectors are definitely getting fuel, as to whether they are firing properly I don't know as I haven't taken them out yet, really worried about that part so wanted to eliminate everything else beforehand. I checked the fuel return valve and it is functioning as expected, fuel is definitely...

Hello. I am posting here in hopes someone might have an idea of what is going on with my car. It currently cranks but doesn't start. I've been fighting with it since the start of April to get it off the driveway. It is an 1.6TDI with 161k miles done. It started at the beginning of April when...

Looks like that is only specific to the 2.0TDI? Could be wrong. I have a 2010 1.6TDI. Looked on KMB site and they only provide these replacements for the 2.0TDI engine hence my thinking. Thanks though. If I find out that after all the **** I've been through with this car it gets killed by an oil...

So a development has ocurred. On a drive during new years eve to see the fireworks the error came on and stayed on. Switched off the engine, turned it back on. Error came up within 3 minutes and its now staying like that. Put the car up on the ramps today and I have started to take it apart with...

On a drive in the North Pennines.

Don't have either of those manuals at the moment. Will look to pick one up and look into it a bit more. Probably going to give myself a break for the remainder of this year though. As I said, its been happening for 2 years and the engine has been fine driving across Europe 2 times and generally...

No, the oil pump is the last thing I have not checked now that I think about it. But considering that this error has been happening to me for nearly 2 years, throughout the whole length of the ownership I can't imagine that its something that is actually mechanical in nature, as the engine...

So it has been a long *** while but I want to give an update nonetheless. So as I said above, the cable of the oil pressure switch on the engine block was frayed. I initially tried to put some isolation tape on it and see if that fixed it. It did not. I've recently drove to Poland and while...

Hey everyone. I apologise for the silence, I wanted to do a quick update on this. I've been busy with some family business and also the gearbox in my car is now acting up. I hooked the car up to a laptop and drove around. Tried to see if it could tell me anything more about the oil pressure...

Sorry for the late reply. I've ordered a new pickup pipe, once it arrives I am hoping to get on it quickly and sort it out once & for all. Also, I am seeing that the car has an oil pressure switch somewhere, do any of you guys know where that is located? Struggling to find anything about it...

Hello everyone, I have a problem that is not perhaps common but certainly happens to various Audi / VAG owners. A red blinking oil can comes on, blinks 3 times with a terrifying and loud noise and says: OIL PRESSURE IS TOO LOW! SWITCH OFF ENGINE! Initially, this was very scary, but now, a year...

Looks great, also as a side comment I really love the colour of your ride too.

I've found the part number for 2004-2008 Audi A3 bonnet I believe - 8P4823029B Looking at the various pictures on google. I'd say its that, judging mainly by the metal perpendicular edge around the edge of the hood that, as I said, isn't present on my 2010 bonnet.

Okay yeah. I can't provide that photo atm, sorry. I think so too, and yeah, he should, but he doesn't want to and at this point its more trouble than its worth. Thank you for the reply.

Hey. Long story short I bought a bonnet from a scrapper for my 2010 S-Line 5 door A3 and it doesn't fit, and even though we had a deal that we could return it they didn't want it back. So now I am trying to sell it. The problem is, I am confused as to what year this bonnet is from, the only...

Thank you so much mate.
