A3car19tdi

2008 1.9tdie A3 She taking too long to warm up these days. I'm thinking the thermostat has died. Is it a whole housing needs changing or can I just get a new stat ? Easy to get to?

I had similar. And also side impact crash sensor fault issue. Turned out to be the loom wires broken in the door jam. Poor quality wires. Whip off the door card and test the speaker with some old radio ?

I have an A3 1900tdie 2009. There is clicking behind the dash board and down in the passenger foot well area. It must be the fans or vents or actuators. It carries on even if I shut off the fans. Just clicks ever 5 seconds or so both of them. Anyone else have it ?

Thanks man

Nearside Front Lower Suspension arm pin or bush worn but not resulting in excessive movement. That means this doesn't it ?

Hello. Yes it appears the alloy bracket bushes are £25 a pair to buy. I think the bushes I could get for about £14 a pair from gsf. So yes I suppose it's hardly worth it for tenner if they are a nuisance to squeeze in

Hi, I need to replace the from control arm bushes in my A3 2009 TDI.. They appear to come in alloy mounting brackets. But I thought I would see if I could buy the rubber bush on it's own. I think I can as here - https://ebay.us/m/iSBYoF But are these pressed in hard at factory or can I just cut the old one out and push the new one in ? Thanks

Going back to this then, if I was traveling along a flat motorway at a steady 60 for a while , would that causing the vanes an issue and make the light come on? It happened the other night. Would they have been going wrong?

Where's it Steve ?

Where abouts is the boost pressure sensor location on the 09 tdie ? I might swap that out before pulling off the turbo .

Is the turbo easy to remove without stripping half the engine on the A3 1.9tdie. ? 2009 Is it easy enough to open it up and clean it if necessary without damaging it ? ? And put it back on? Never touched a turbo before, stripped a few non TC engine though. . Is there any cleaner worth wile spraying in to it if it's possible ?

Hello. I've had this code pop up the other day on my 120k 1.9tdie A3. 2008 I turned the car off as was in limp and it was went. I was giving it a bit of a shoeing to be fair. Wondered if anything needs a clean out or obvious things to check on it ? Thanks

Following on from this, the next day I went to drive and the brake pedal was solid. Further inspection revealed the vacuum hose had split and come completely off from the vacuum causing loss of brake. Would this had started to cause or have anything to do with the Turbo over boost issue somehow ?

Just following on from this... Later this evening my brake padal has just really got really stiff to press. Are these two this possibly linked ??

Hello all. I have a little Audi A3 8p 2009. 125k or so. 19tdie This morning I had a orange light start flashing and I have scanned and it says p0234 over boost. Any thoughts on what to check, clean in the first instance? I stopped the car and then it disappeared. No other issues at the moment. Any common faults ? Thanks for your help .
