    Audi A3 Service milage not resetting on VAGCOM

    Just for info (and to remind me in a years' time !!): I had an absolute nightmare resetting my 2009 2L Tdi Quattro, with and without VAGCOM. Tried the "pull the right knob on the display" thing and that didn't work. Researched on here and the internet and it said you couldn't do it that way...

    2009 A3 Tdi Sportback Quattro - auxiliary water pump problems.

    Hi, Just reading back through how I did it, there's nothing really to add. It is an electrically powered water pump though, so no need for a water pump wrench. Might be a different matter if it's your main water pump ?? As it says in my post, two of the little torx bolts are accessable and...

    2009 A3 Tdi Sportback Quattro - auxiliary water pump problems.

    Just an update to this thread: I fitted the new aux water pump today, and it would have been an almost impossible task to do it the way Audi advise in Elsawin. They say you should take the plastic air hose off that goes from the intercooler to turbo (I think ??), so you can get to the aux water...

    2009 A3 Tdi Sportback Quattro - auxiliary water pump problems.

    Hi Marshy, Thanks for the info. I think the one on mine is a bit longer and skinnier, but at least I know which bit of the engine bay to look in, lol !! It's gonna be a ****** to get to. Looks like an inlet manifold off job :-(

    2009 A3 Tdi Sportback Quattro - auxiliary water pump problems.

    Hi, I've got a fault code for my auxiliary water pump and would like to change it myself as I'm a pretty competent mechanic. Problem is I can't find any info on how to do it on the internet. Bought a copy of Elsawin thinking that would help, but I can't find the "how to" on there either ...

    A3 170 quattro - flat as a fart !!

    Hi chaps, I've just bought a 2009 A3 170 quattro sportback sport 5 door and had the chance to give it it's first proper thrashing today. Although the handling was great, and comfort levels and "poshness" are new to me, I couldn't believe the fact that it was as flat as a fart !! My second last...

    Which A3 for me ??

    Hi, I'm looking to buy a new (to me) A3 and I've got about £15,000 to play with. I'm struggling to find out the differences in the A3 range that I've got in mind. I'm going to get one of the 170hp diesels but I'm not sure which one to go for. Preferably I would like the Quattro, but I'm not...
