    A3 3.2 8p1 - Sport Cats, Downpipes and flexis

    I don’t think my subframe came off. I can’t remember. If it does iirc specialist tools are needed to align it. I had new top mounts and lowering springs done at the same time so it may have been done. The danger is the bolts snapping when separating the downpipes from the manifold. If that...

    A3 3.2 8p1 - Sport Cats, Downpipes and flexis

    Just bolt on and away you go. No Mil light. That’s not saying you won’t have one. The danger is the removal of the old pipes. If they come off nicely all is good. If bolts start snapping that’s a totally different ball game.

    New Style Window Switches

    Do you mean the switches in every door, or the 4 switches in the drivers door? if it’s the latter then all 4 switches are in one module and can be changed independently of the switched in the other doors.

    What have you done to your A3 (8p) this week

    Sold it. It was just sat on the drive most of the time. Put some fuel in it yesterday and the filter started leaking. Had corroded underneath the lamp and had a pin ***** hole. Sad to see it go but it needs to be used.

    Fuel lines

    After a bit of research I think they are, but probably best not leaving them disconnected overnight.

    Fuel lines

    When you disconnect the fuel lines from the filter are they self sealing? my filter has a pin hole leak and the only way I can think to stop it until tomorrow when the new one arrives is to remove it.

    Audi A3 3.2 V6 2006 (8PA) recently using far too much water issue

    Ultraviolet dye. Glows under a black light so you can spot leaks. Think of paint in a cheesy night club

    Audi A3 3.2 V6 2006 (8PA) recently using far too much water issue

    Check for any signs of dampness in the carpet at the front. does the car steam excessively from exhaust when started? I have the same situation as you but a leak can’t be found anywhere. Car runs fine. The only suggestion my garage has is that there’s a pin hole leak somewhere and the coolant...

    They are blue/brown. Just look at the reverse bulb holder

    Reverse light

    You want to be picking up a supply from the reverse light so that when that activates it switches on the camera. You don’t want to be picking up feeds from the headlights.

    Waste of money. Just upgrade your discs and pads, perhaps fit braided lines.
