My drivers sore has dropped about 15-20mm and have to **** about shutting the door, has anyone changed they door hinges any special tools needed? I’m not sure if the wing has to come off to get access?
The hinge access is from the intehttps://audi.7zap.com/en/rdw/audi+a3+s3+sportb+lim+qu/a3/1997-201/8/831-831010/rior by removing the lower panels and fuses I believe.https://audi.7zap.com/en/rdw/audi+a3+s3+sportb+lim+qu/a3/1997-201/8/831-831010/My drivers sore has dropped about 15-20mm and have to **** about shutting the door, has anyone changed they door hinges any special tools needed?

didn’t think they would be I thinkDon't think they are adjustable mine was bent in a garage reversing incident by the previous owner only top needed replacement
Makes sense in for a penny in for a pound...I’m not sure which has worn the bottom is £100 and top is £25 which I’m guessing because the bottom has all the weight on it is most likely to have worn so whilst it’s off might aswell do the top
That's the one also check the striker plate let me know how you get on.I’m going to have a proper luck tomorrow hopefully il Figure it out if there’s no play in the hinges il buy the alignment tool and try that before I replace the hingesView attachment 208679
How much is the tool?Had a look today at the door and there seems to be noun/down movement in the door at all so I’m hoping the hinges are ok they just moved, so will order the alignment tool and see how that goes
Not as much as I thought my bottom drivers door hingeThe one in pic above is around £40 there’s a cheaper one at 32

How did you get on with the door issue TJ?The one in pic above is around £40 there’s a cheaper one at 32
Many thanks for the reply and the info I'm going to look at the door shims on the door subframe when the weather improves.Hi, I adjusted the striker (this is the bit on the B piller, correct?) . Maybe I can attempt to adjust the catch...
In relation to the issue, the drivers door sits in an almost twisted position, the top of the door sits further in while the bottom sits proud of the quarter panel.
As I said, some brute force twisting of the door improved the situation but my door blade is a bit loose so I can't apply much pressure at the bottom, with that removed I could get a good grab of the door and apply some force.
At least the catch is working and my doors don't randomly open (for now )
