I have checked on eBay and it is the correct one for my car the owners manual is 210 x 60mm Yes as far as I can tell

Yes as far as I can tell

I know it’s a bit mad not even close to fitting in the glove box I just assumed that the wallet would have a dedicated space but it doesn’t appear to

Hi all 3 door 2009 facelift 1.4tfsi This may be a silly question but is there a specific place to store the owners manual service record wallet in the car? As it doesn’t fit in the glovebox or the under seat storage I know on an 2005 A4 it’s under the steering wheel Many thanks all Dave

Hi Rybrook thanks for the info

Yes that makes sense thanks Stock height stings etc

Hi one and all im after a set of 18 inch wheels fo my A3 8P im already running 18 inch wheels Ive seen some AUDI TT TTS TTRS 18” alloy wheels in great condition with good Michelin tyres my only concern is the size of the tyres at 245 x 40 x 18 my existing wheels are 225 x 40 x 18 would that be an issue with rubbing etc? many thx in advance

Hi All does anyone have a cross section of the inner door rubber seal (weatherstrip) mine is pretty worn out but looking at prices online for a new one (around £100) I’m looking for alternatives has anyone used anything aftermarket with any success? Many thanks in advance

Smiles your not wrong it already looks so much better happy days

Hi guys I found a reversing bulb that doesn’t throw up a fault code on my dash on my 2010 A3 8p it’s made by Aslent (China) it’s a P21W fitting

Thx for your quick response I will have a look

Hi All my car is a 2010 1.4 tfsi 3 door has anyone successfully used a led for rear reverse light ie no warning on dash (canbus error) if so what bulb did you use? many thx in advance Dave

Hi all just a quick update i have solved the rattling sunroof heres how I did it unfortunately no pics tilt the sunroof look inside there should be 2 black plastic pieces either side of the sunroof in the runners (track) about 3/4 of the way to the front of the car i only had one on the passenger side of sunroof i could just get my hand inside the gap (at the back of sunroof) found the missing black piece pulled it back so it was level with the existing piece opposite and bingo rattling has stopped completely this was 4 days ago so fingers crossed hope this helps

Hello All i have a rattle coming from my 2009 A3 (factory fitted) sunroof and if i say its driving me mad that would be a understatement the rattle is coming from bottom trim panel if i push the trim panel up it stops i can recreate the rattle by pushing up the trim pane so it’s definitely coming from there Any fixes for this? (as a temporary measure i put a piece of rubber so the trim panel cant move and that works like a charm) thanks in advance

Hi all A quick update remanufactured gearbox in working a treat 3 weeks in used Luk clutch kit no unusual noises so fingers crossed thx all

Hi Gareth i agree with your logic as for finding a replacement gearbox i have now found one and its local to me the guy i was messaging was a complete waste of time and had little to no knowledge of the type of box i needed hopefully my car will be back on the road sometime next week oh the joys of Audi ownership thanks again all

Agrees Cliff i may have found a replacement remanufactured box checked part numbers stamped on housing its 0AJ 301 103 only difference is the final letter on his is an A mine is a B do you know if there compatible thanks again

Hi Cliff just to let you know on my car it’s not a dual mass flywheel it’s a single solid flywheel regards

Hello all A quick update on my clattering sound when taking foot off clutch taken the gearbox out my mechanic and i checked the clutch release bearing etc all of them in good working order Spinning the gearbox shaft and there was the noise i experienced when taking my foot off the clutch oh dear my mechanic/friend said i need a new gearbox i know the part number etc for my gearbox is 0AJ 301 103 B code LNY (see pic please to make sure ive read it right) so my next question is does anyone know of a good place to get a replacement gearbox from? Thanks in advance

Hi Gareth Thanks for your reply while gearbox is out may as well do everything I’m really surprised i didnt get any warning signs whatsoever it pulled well in all gears, gear change was always smooth and quiet still it is what it is just got to get on with it now

Hi All So this morning got into my 2009 A3 1.4tfsi started as normal foot depressing clutch as i was getting to the biting point the car started making a horrendous clattering sound which immediately went away when i depressed the clutch pedal I’m thinking its the flywheel and/or clutch Any ideas how i can narrow down the fault?

just to let you know i now have a reversing light!!! Was a bad connection at the bulb holder for the reversing bulb a little bending of the metal strips and all good Many thx again for your help much appreciated

I dont have a multimeter as i have no idea how to use it im a mechanical engineer by trade, electrics are not my thing

Hello Gareth i have checked and double checked the wires gave each of thema good pull with the ignition on and in reverse hoping id see at least a flicker from the reversing light but nothing unfortunately doing the new plug repair has got rid of all the previous errors except the reversing light (see below) 2 Faults Found: 01134 - Alarm Horn (H12) 000 - - Freeze Frame: Fault Status: 01100000 Fault Priority: 4 Fault Frequency: 1 Reset counter: 153 Mileage: 169737 km Time Indication: 0 Date: 2024.04.12 Time: 12:30:19 Freeze Frame: Term 15 On Voltage: 14.30 V ON ON Term 50 On OFF OFF 01518 - Bulb for Back-Up Lights; Left (M16) 010 - Open or Short to Plus Freeze Frame: Fault Status: 01101010 Fault Priority: 2 Fault Frequency: 1 Reset counter: 153 Mileage: 169737 km Time Indication: 0 Date: 2024.04.12 Time: 12:33:55 Freeze Frame: Term 15 On Voltage: 14.50 V ON ON Term 50 On OFF OFF I know the alarm horn issue wll fix that in due course as its the internal rechargeable batteries no longer holding a charge im at a complete loss now Gareth and hate to be beaten any ideas?
