All fixed, new turbo and egr 😒

So I have just bought an A1 1.6tdi 2014 for my daughter. When shutting the engine off sometimes theres a burning smell and the fan runs fir a minute or so. ( temp gauge always says 90 °. I assumed it was the dpf doi g its thing so I've downloaded vag dpf and got the following. Could anyone explain the figures to me and let me know if I'm doomed ? Oh the car has no fault codes and drives lovely. Thanks

I bought this in error for my 2014 but unfortunately it didnt fit. I believe it's from the newer model. Price £80

Please can anyone confirm or deny if the parcel shelfs from a 2010 to 2015 a1 8x would be the same wether 3 door or 5 door. I have a sportback and need a parcel shelf.

I have a 2014 a1 1.6tdi suffering coolant loss. It's also smoking sometimes quite alot ( clouds in rear veiw mirror ) drives fine and starts perfect. Am I right in thinking this is probably the egr cooler? Do these suffer from head gasket problems ? What tests can I do to rule out one or the other on the 1.6tdi. I'm hoping it's the cooler leaking coolant into the intake or exhaust. Car has done about 70k Thanks

I had a similar problem on our a5 and bought a sump plug valve. http://www.stahlbus.com/products/en/oil-drain-valve/index.php we fitted this with threadlock to seal any leak, this cured the problem and the plug will never need to be removed again, also makes for easy oil changes in the future.

Are you sure they are the correct struts?

New struts needed.

That’s not quite true, a lot of Audi’s have accessories like Bluetooth fitted but not turned on unless it’s paid for. Recently in my wife’s A5 cab I activated Bluetooth hands free and voice control for sat nav etc that was already there.

Armrest is pretty easy. Took me about half an hour. You have to cut a hole in the center to take the bracket. Its not a great design though as it fowls the handbrake

Have you tried the a8partsforum it seemscto be more active with a8 and s8 owners

I would deffinately say get a new battery first. Newer cars computers like good voltage or they shut certain modules down to save power

My Dad had an auto locksmith out to his lexus with similar and he stripped the barrel and rebuilt it for about £60 -

2006 A3 1.6. No oil pressure warning light.
Audiman1 replied to Magnet's topic in Audi A3 (8P) Forum
A scan with vcds should show whats wrong if you test outputs. I purchased OBDeleven recently, this does similar to vcds but os only 45 quid. -
Personally after having it in my a8 i wouldn't bother

Mine is now completed. Cruise and dis stalks and also fitted control buttons to the steering wheel then coded with OBDeleven 😊 its nice not having a blank screen in the center now. Im struggling coding the dash to display outside temperature though.

Today I have fitted a mfsw and new wiper stalk with dis, after many hours coding ( first day with obdeleven ) I have them working 😁 Now i I would like the temperature display on dash, please can you help ? The car has a sensor because I can get it in live readings but can't code to display it. I have tried google with no luck.

So I've done lots of research but I am getting different information. My A3 is a 2009 facelift 2.0tdi dsg. I want to add cruise and dis. I don't have any buttons on steering wheel but have the white computer screen and a washer bottle warning. Please can can anyone confirm if I need to change the steering ecu or if the one I have will support the cruise with coding obviously. thanks
