Can we have a picture of the full car please? I love satin bronze on a black car. It’s what would i would choose (if I didn’t care) but wouldn’t want the attention it might bring to my car ☺️

Don’t need to. I can open the glove box and put pressure on the open lid at the side and it stops. pretty sure the noise comes from the “hinge” or what ever the lid swivels on at the rear. but everything appears to be covered by trim. Just searched and theres a YouTube video showing how to remove the glovebox lid which looks a bit of a gaff. Was hoping somebody might have an easy fix.

Gone from none existent when I got the car 6 months ago to mind blowingly annoying now. I think I’ve traced the noise to the right hand side of the glove box possibly where the box hinges at the rear !? I’d like to try and get some lube to it but everything appears to be covered by trim. Any ideas other A3 or Audi owners experienced this ? I’ll put up a video clip later

Nice’ how much is it lowered and how does it ride on the new springs?

Gearbox in my A3 had been notchey since purchase. Dawned on me today this is no longer the case. I may still carry out a gear oil change. Shouldn’t temp fate but I do like a free fix 🤔😁

Heres how I did mine on my previous car. The sensor was just over a tenner on eBay. You’ll need to scroll about halfway down the page when it opens. https://www.detailingworld.co.uk/threads/project-audi.348112/page-9

This is something Ive been looking at doing. Also the chrome window surrounds. wrapping looks a bit of a pain for a beginner like myself so I’m looking at plasti coat.

A couple of things to bear in mind …if there’s no exhaust parts hanging down /loose, Maybe a stone trapped between brake disc and backing plate ! It happened to me once! Maybe a damaged backing plate making contact with a brake disc? I noticed a squealing sound at one point … maybe a sticking brake calliper? Are any of your brake disc getting exceptionally hot?

Hello 😁

Hmmm… that’s what I did with my last A3. Might resort to doing it here 🤔
-
I plan to hardwire my dashcam. wondering how the A pillar trim panel is removed?
-
Like nothing ever happened. Great job there.

I was hoping somebody might have an excel spreadsheet they could share 🤣

Hi all, newbie alert! Decent workshop manual
enc replied to stchris356's topic in Audi A3 (8V) Forum
I’m not sure such a thing exist. though they were slagged off at the time (by some) back in the day PRINTED Haynes manuals were invaluable. I believe there are too just too many various types in any particular model range to make a comprehensive Haynes manual feasible today. There appears to be a HAYNES online manual.. don’t know how comprehensive that would be.
