A3 8V 2015 1.4tfsi turbo actuator bolts

Followers

June 21, 20241 yr

Hi,

I'm looking for some new bolts for my turbo actuator for my 2015 1.4 TFSI A3 8V. There looks to be three bolts but for various frustrating reasons I need to find replacements. They look to be M10 torq but I'm not sure of the length etc (as they are on a road somewhere...) TIA

Welcome Paul and thanks for joining.
No doubt you would know, or be able to find out if all three are identical or not.

If they are identical - option:-

Buy one from Audi, then buy 2 matched tensile strength ones from on-line suppliers such Kay’s.
Appreciating that buying from Audi will not be the most economical route, it will be the safest, and factoring in the labour-free DIY replacing, it’s always better to ‘invest’ in the known correct parts.
Kind regards,

Gareth.

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 · 23 hours ago23 hr

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?
