Audi A3 (8V) Air Vent Trim

Followers

January 20, 20215 yr

The silver trim piece around the finger grip of the front air vent has fallen off. Has this happened to anyone, and if so is it possible to buy a replacement ? Thanks 🙂

Hello pal these little silver bits aren't held in by anything they just pop out, you could maybe try and glue it back in place. I have removed all my silver trim inside my car and sprayed them that's how I know they all pop out.

unfortunately my car (bought used) came without one of the silver bits and I can’t find any replacement to buy

3.0tdi injector coding

Bobby Dazzler · just now1 min

Hi all, can anyone tell me how to code Lithuanian Injectors to a UK car. Stupidly it seems, I bought a complete fuel system fromLithuania. When trying to code using the 7 digit code from the injector VCDS tells me it the wrong country code and I know have FFFFFFF. Is there a possible workaround. I jad just replaced the HP fuel pump. Easy enough but a lot of work as im sure many of you are aware. Any advice even telling me ive wasted £900 buying the complete fuel system. Thanks in advance

A% front suspension groan

IainH · Thursday at 04:30 PM2 days

Last summer while in the heat of southern France, my A5 (Dec-2017, 40,000 mile) developed a front suspension creak. It was always at low speed and particularly when turning left. The car was completely checked on my return, 'shaked, rattled and rolled', but steadfastly refused to creak once, however, everything was checked, levered, put in a shaking plate, and no creaks or movement in joints found, and so while noisy, the car was declared 'good' (safe). The sound is very like the creak heard her

I’ve had these wheels since I sold my old 2004 Allroad many years ago & now they’re just in the way, so if anyone wants them, they’re available in Weston-super-Mare! they were refurbished after I bought them, I used them as my summer wheels. I know 1 wheel had a chip in the lacquer, but that was it, they’ve been undercover in the garage ever since I Sold the car, So should be pretty much the same. free to collector if no takers I’ll have to scrap them.

Window Regulator - easy fix?

DavideNUFC86 · January 27Jan 27

Hi all, Has anyone tackled replacing the window regulator on their car? I've watched a couple of You Tube videos and it seems a manageable task ( reasonable level of DIY skills and tools required ) Recently spent just over £1K on repairs at the garage and I don't think my marriage would survive another trip there for this work. Secondary point - the window is 99% shut and doesn't let any rain water in but I can hear there is a slight gap ( i think the size of when the win

Head gasket?

Duane1611 · 21 hours ago21 hr

My coolant expansion bottle keeps emptying after about 6/7 miles, I suspected a leaky bottle cos I'd had that problem before but I changed it and it's still happening. Now I'm looking at the oil and it's not good, can someone confirm head gasket failure? Or another explanation for what's happening? Cheers Duane

Alternator failure related to mild hybrid system?

I've been seeing more and more posts across FB and multiple forums about people having the alternator failure related to the 48v mild hybrid system and wanted to see if anyone has had this issue and how their experience has been. I know in USA they have announced a TSB with an extended warranty for 7 years but I am trying to get more info from Audi UK but not getting anywhere. Has anyone had this issue and if so has Audi fixed it (if out of warranty)? It seems to be tha

Battery replacement

LucyB · yesterday at 10:08 AM1 day

Hello All - My battery has died and I'm all set to replace it myself. We jumpstarted the car last week and despite it initially sending me a lot of mad messages about nothing working, once I got it going and drove a mile, it was all fine. 2 days later, battery flat again. Mu question is, if I disconnect the old battery and replace it, will all my computer settings be lost?
