How did you resolve the problem? Were you able to save the old battery?

Nah I don’t think so I put some jump leads on it 

left the leads on for 10 mins the clocks & ignition lights came back on but it wouldn’t start.

I’m leaving it as it is for another 4/5 weeks by then my foot should be better I’ll buy a new battery & get it running again.

Starter motors take 200-300 amps so you have been reducing battery capacity each time you started the engine. You should have left the car unused and just run a trickle charge once or twice per month.

Ohh ok thanks for the info appreciate it 👍

The battery is clapped out. Running the engine for ten minutes a few times per week will not compensate for the heavy drain by the starter motor each time it is started. Try a mains powered charger over night, but don't be surprised if it can not restore battery capacity.

Really wow I thought by starting it up I was helping it lol

Hi guys.

Iv got a 2009 A3 2.0TDi 170 Black Edition.

I haven’t been driving it for 2 months now due to a foot injury.

It’s parked on my drive I do start it every few days so the battery doesn’t die out.

I started it on Tuesday & it fired up fine I let it run 10 mins & switched it off.

Yesterday I went to start it & it wouldn’t start.

I realised the clocks won’t light up & non of the ignition lights will come on.

Its starts up for a second then goes off again.

Any ideas why it’s doing this it was fine.

Cheers.

That's odd as it should sit level. You've not had a spring snap on the rest have you? 

No springs & shocks are fine

hi guys so i brought a audi a3 04  and it has a flat bottom streeing wheel but the controls dont work after weeks of looking i think i found out why i need the module out of a 2006 s3 but my question is does it have to be 2006 s3.

Hi mate 

If your cars factory steering wheel wasn’t a multifunctional steering wheel then the controls won’t work

Sounds like an antenna issue. Not 💯 sure but I've looked at getting the similar head unit to my a6 c5 abd think I need a different antenna. 

Cheers

Hi mate 

iv sorted it. I thought it was the antenna but mine has a full pan roof so their is no antenna on the roof.

After close examination I didn’t push the radio plug in properly 😂 

After a little push it’s fine now 👍

In that case you should have done form of lowered suspension as standard. My advice if you're changing springs then get the matching shocks for the lowered springs. 

Yea the back is low it the front is sitting a iv higher 

If it was the other way round front low & back higher it wouldn’t have bothered me

Depending on your model of Audi, you could fit s line springs and shocks which would lower it 30mm. 

Don't forget to get your tracking down after you fit any lowing kit.

Hi mate 

My car is a 2010 A3 170BHP Black Edition

A cautionary bit of advice if lowering 40 mm I would suggest you get as high quality springs as possible. I lowered mine on 40mm springs it dropped way more like 60mm. Just be careful and stick with H&R or the like. 

Hi mate 

Thanks for the reply I use to love my car sat low to ground but I think I’m a bit over that now lol.

Do you have any pics of your car lowers 40mm please 

Hi guys.

Does anyone have any pics of their A3 lowered 40mm ? 
Want to see how low a 40mm drop is.

Thank you. 

Yea are your plus & negative connected the right way round on the rear speakers some times a little mistake can cause big issues 

You got a bad earth some where. 
get an earth grounding kit & wire it up.

i had this issue a few years back on my Evo.

got an aftermarket ground wiring kit & it sorted out about 95% of the issue.

Hi guys.

Ive fitted my RNS-E to my A3 but the radio is not clear at all.

I pulled the head unit out & checked the connection that’s fine.

Its clear whilst the unit is out as soon as I push it back into its place it’s not clear.

Any ideas why ???  🤷‍♂️ 

Hi guys 

Iv bought an RNS-E for my A3 

It came with the picture below Bluetooth adapter it’s a 32 pin adapter.

Im not good when it comes to wires I know where it plugs into but can anyone help me with where the black & red wires go please .

Cheers 

Hi guys...

I’ll be replacing my standard Audi CD player to the RNS-E Sat Nav next week.

Does anyone know if it’s a straight swap or would I need an Adapter ??

Cheers. 

Ok cheers mate I’ll get it looked at

Hi & thanks for the reply.

If the rings/ bore was worn wouldn’t it smoke all the time. ?

It only smokes now & then & some times it’s fine.

when I put foot down it does let a cloud of black smoke but that’s due to the EGR delete 

Cheers 

Hi guys im new on here so firstly Hi 🙋‍♂️ 

Ive bought an Audi A3 2.0TDi Black Edition a few days ago.

Its had the DPF removed & a re map done by the previous owner.

But on idle some times it’s smoking blue & shakes a little bit.

Is this smoke & shaking normal after the DPF & Re map...??

A few years back my Golf 170 did the same.

Cheers.
