I think it might be slightly louder when steering right , so im thinking left hand bearing , only very slightly louder , to be honest if the radio is on you'd hardly hear it , so im thinking its only getting rough rather than gone . Its booked in for a service in 3 weeks so im hoping it should last until then . At least now I know its not the tyres , the tyre shop gave the 2 that were on the car a good check and confirmed that the tyres weren't the problem, so my garage wants to check it tomorrow to confirm but won't be able to do the job until 3 weeks time . To be honest I've had bearings in the past that would drown out the radio . The noise stays while coasting so it shouldn't be a gearbox bearing as its there with no load and the gearbox is acting very normal , so im thinking for sure wheel bearing .

so turns out the starter motor wire was fried because (and in the best way i can explain)- the previous owners added the wrong starter motor that was generating too much power/ voltage which then led to the cable becomming coroded.

Hi. I’ve just bought a pre registered A3 Black edition (74 plate). There is a compressor and tyre puncture kit in the boot in a polystyrene holder on the bottom right hand side of the boot. I kept my previous A3’s space saver wheel (2018 plate) and it doesn’t fit because of the polystyrene foam insert. Is there an easy way to get this insert out as the tyre should fit if it was moved. There seems to be a plastic button like thing holding it to the boot but don’t want to wreck it if there’s a way of removing it without damage. Any help greatly appreciated

Heated Seats. Installation of S line Heated Seats
Steve Q replied to papa yankee's topic in Audi A3 (8V) Forum
Unfortunately you'll find you'll need the heated seats Wiring harness. Not only that you might find the airbag connector might be different. And you can't just cut off the old connector and solder on a different one as this will throw the airbag warning lights. As such the best way is to remove the airbag from your current seats and put them in the new seats if that makes sense. -
Have the engine mounts and gearbox mounts been checked? As the movement could cause noise. Could it be something to do with liquid sloshing when I get loads and it throwing off the sensors? For example when I had an issue with my A6 washer bottle leaking it wouldn't always tell me it was low unless the washer fluid moved away from the sensor if that makes sense.

Hi Gareth, Thanks for the feedback, I think you are right too! -
I'd definitely recommend speaking to the company that sold you it. Just in case they sold you the wrong parts to make it fit your dash.

Paul would you care to edit your last message. I think you omitted your own text as it contains nothing but quotations of the two previous messages.

Engine scammers when selling your car
Steve Q replied to Miss Teacher's topic in Audi Club Lounge / General Chat
Seen loads of these stories. If selling a car make sure you're not alone. Make sure they either come alone or with one other person. Anymore people refuse to see them. -
strange noise when accelerating, what could it be, video attached.

Hello David, This thread originated 4 years ago, so could you start a new thread and clearly outline your symptoms -as you would if starting from scratch. Many thanks, Gareth -
You need to get a pry-bar on the suspension. Arms are usually good for around 80k miles. Upper arms possibly. An inspection of the engine and transmission mount would be worthwhile as suggested. If you are changing arms, Meyle HD or Lemforder only.

The clusters can't be swapped out easily as they have the imobiliser built in.

Hello Andrew, You seemed to have joined and posted at the same time, and not returned since to read and acknowledge the advice you asked for. Any particular reason?

I ask, since you joined and posted on the same day, and are yet to read the advice you asked for. Please read the initial pre - posting request referring to just that situation.

Thanks Cliff. Yeah I wouldn't expect it to be cheap tbh.🙂 Having to just put up with it for now until it can be seen, so will just be pleased to get it sorted.

Thank you Richard. I very much did have DAB for three years then it just dropped off suddenly in March or April. All of my saved DAB Radio stations still exists in my 'Memory'. The coincidence of me losing my DAB when everyone else did is too great to ignore, but perhaps it IS the DAB antenna ???? So that may be Audi Barnstaple and a large bill then ! Your help is much appreciated, thank you.

I'm after a PFL B5 A4/S4 drivers wing, preferably in noggy blue, but will take any colour if the sing is solid with no bad rust issues.
