I was reverse parking in a tight space and had to attempt it a few times to get it right. Suddenly, I noticed smoke coming from both sides of the bonnet. I quickly tried to...

    I can’t move gear lever into gear. Mechanic thinks mechatronic but it was changed last month. Battery doesn’t seem to charge above 80. I reset the codes but keep coming back. Also got gearbox malfunction as one of the codes but hasn’t come since.

    Audi engine rev limiter

    Had an issue with my a1 1.4 tfsi engine, when up to temperature it stops out at 4000rpm and wont rev past it, no check engine light, had a full service in december and was in good condition. Had a diagnostics test on it and nothing came up, anybody got any ideas

    Gearbox jumps slightly in reverse before reversing stronic.

    The mechanic said change the clutch in the steptronic gearbox or the whole gearbox. How much would cost by an indie and where could I and could they just change the clutch itself as one of the tooth in the clutch is a bit worn. Thanks Audi A3 2013

    Audi A3 1.4 TFSI COD Petrol Manual - pulling off and gear changes lol

    I had a test drive in this car, however I was a bit unsure how easy it is to change gears and pull off etc. I’m used to driving a 2003 VW Polo 1.2 where I have to use a bit of revs along with the biting point to pull off. Is it the same with this Audi, given it’s engine size and that it’s petrol?

    tfsi (all) intake leak fix, I thought should be shared

    Hi everyone, Just thought I’d share this with people in case it is not well known and stumbled across this by accident when trying to order a dipstick gasket at TPS yesterday. They sold me a yellow whole unit rather than just the o ring at top, as an inlet smoke test the other day showed smoke...

    Which engine do I have? CDNC, EA888 v1, v2??

    Soo, Turns out I don't have an EA113 as I though after the guy I bought it from told me it had a belt not a chain. I've only realised after I've gone to change my cam follower and noticed my HPFP doesn't look like it should! Seems odd though as the car came with a receipt at 50k odd miles for a...
