Hi All yet another gremlin my central locking will every minute or so lock the doors even with the key in ignition will carry on doing this until battery is flat. So far been lucky as two keys Would flat fob batteries be a cause??? Very greatful for any input please.

I see you have the A3 Its the A2 that runs hotter I dont think the A3's and Golfs ect suffer the same

No nobody famous I can drive a tractor though. The death pipe as many call it due to it killing the engine when it fails is a plastic pipe that runs from the back of the water pump up to the thermostat. The FSI runs hotter than other vw/audi with same pipe I have seen in the past people have upgraded it to one made of stainless steel just struggling to find one

Hi I want to go through this new fsi upgrade / replace common weak items. One item I have seen is a death pipe that's either stainless or alloy Does anyone know where I can get one of is it a case of getting one made. Greatful for any help😁👍

Hi all new to club I would like to share my findings with you all on what has happened with my Fsi so far. I bought it cheap as it has/had a misfire and lack of power. I found the inlet flap actuator was missing (GREAT) I thought 😭 Previous owner drove it for 18 months like this until misfire started. Anyway I started of with plugs and coils and injection cleaner still had a miss. Now the interesting bit it never had the start up clatter that 90% of fsi owners report until yesterday after a short drive I started it again to drive it into the garage I was met with quite a clatter for a couple of seconds or so it settled into a nice idle strange I thought it even reved nicely so I take it for another short drive it went like a rocket all the lack of power and missing had gone😃😃 I am a bit stumped as the only codes I had were for the inlet flaps and multiple misfires Now I am thinking was the cam variator stuck and then freed itself any thoughts on this???
