Thank you. One day somebody will bless you for that information.

Hi I got a bit muddled, main failure is EPC. If you just have ESP it's a fault with the traction control and ABS. If it ESP then it could be a sensor at the wheels but you have both lights on the dash, it could be a faulty brake light switch on the pedal.

Thanks Dan, You could be right that there are indeed two thermostats. Worth checking LLL Parts website? ‘…. as simple as chuck a new one in to fix it..’ If you are asking me to guarantee that replacing the thermostat would fix the problem, then the answer is No. Like every other forum we can only make sensible suggestions. Regards, Gareth.

Hi all, Just posting here to say Hi. Between the wife and I we have a A1 (21 plate) and have just purchased an A3 (07 plate). Not a huge car nut, but am looking for a group of people who can help/advise me when/where needed. In return I can talk video games or digital forensics (mobile phones mainly, but have dabbled in computers and Vehicles). 🙂 Thanks, Ricky

Welcome to the forum Ricky you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 Nice you've got a two car Audi family 🙂

Will do here's a couple of links for the 2 oil seals and the hall sender, the fibre washers I had and were m12 x 20m. Oil seal £2.51 https://simplybearings.co.uk/shop/p25677/12x19x5mm-Nitrile-Rubber-Double-Lip-Rotary-Shaft-Oil-Seal-with-Garter-Spring-R23-/-TC/product_info.html 'O' ring £4.13 https://simplybearings.co.uk/shop/Seals-O-Ring-Seals-NITRILE-O-Rings/c19_4501_4705/index.html?selection=Nitrile+Rubber+O-Rings Hall sender £35 https://www.ignitioncarparts.co.uk/PartDetails.aspx?s_pc=PPU2007

A vacuum reservoir of the size shown would be hard to miss. If you don't see one perhaps it's because you don't have one. I didn't on mine.

Hello Phil, If not the spring pan itself, are you talking the straight link arm, or the curved one. Although I keep pushing this with no personal connection:- Have a look at Parts in Motion website. They are very precise in their descriptions , and I’ve got the impression the straight arm is handed - from not very good memory! If in doubt just give them a ring. I’ve used Febi brand to good avail. Please let us know how you get on Phil. Regards, Gareth.

Darn. I'll take another look online to see what more I can find 🙂

Looks like you've lost a wheel, somewhere on your drive! 😁

Is it old fashioned enough to have points? If so, check the gap and ensure the contact faces are unburnt. The condensers in such systems were also prone to failure.

@wanleg They are under your glovebox. The recirculation flap motor (2) is on the left, the fresh air flap motor (3) is at the back; you can see some arms connected to this one. In my case, at least, it was (2). After removing the cover under the glovebox, the motor is fastened with 3x torx screws. You will however need someone with VCDS to run the basic settings after fitting the new motor. Unfortunately, the distance from Hartlepool to me probably doesn't make it very economical for my help with this 🙂
