Hi Gareth. I had a look on eBay , and I wouldn't say them mad crazy expensive... One I had a look, was something 40 GBP delivered... Wouldn't considering use second hand door lock, as it probably won't last long... Sometimes could be lucky... But by my experience... Not .. had Passat before, couple times changed door locks with used ones, didn't las more than couple months... (Typical problem with microswitches).. tried fix myself... But never worked out right... After bought brand new locks, problems were solved.. Car just passed test (MOT), just didn't lock the car , left it unlocked , tester didn't notice that lock won't unlock , but still I'd love to get it fixed, as some times very inconvenient get open door from inside , driver side, once door is opened, if not locked, door lock operates normal .

Hi. Actually problem is with passenger door lock motor. 99% I'm alone in car in last 8years I own the car, going to work and back home. Very seldom opening passenger door . I'm more often opening boot than passenger door 😁 But thanks for advise. 👍

Hi guys , I have Audi A3 , 2008, 2.0 TDI. , with 3 door... 8P1 model. My passenger door lock actuator not really working as should.. started intermittently do not unlock, but now impossible unlock, just pull lever from inside to get open. Would it be same door lock as from 5 door car?

Hi folks, I have 3 door Audi A3 , 2008, bkd diesel engine, with 6 speed manual box. Lately I've found out that after unlocking car, front passenger door wouldn't unlock (but still can hear motor sound in lock), first few months that was intermittent, now it's getting permanent problem, and to get it open, I have to open door from inside. Would it be lock itself problem ? Or seized mechanisms in-between ? Maybe someone would have part number of that lock? Thanks.

Hi folks, just an update on this. The other day ive removed my front brake disks, and discovered that my left side brake disc have a crack , tiny black line acros friction surface, first i thought thats a dirt, tried wash it off, but it didnt go away, and it did look like crack... also my front left side hub was getting overheating thats why i removed brake disks, as it was getting worse to drive on motorway, as i could feel bad vibration... assumed front discs were warped... i had no really much choice , rang local motorfactors, and them suplied with Apec front disks and pads of same make, now driving couple days, no problem what so ever. . and braking performance is very good id say... strangely enough , as brake disks wasnt worn that bad, just tiny lip , also caliper pin guides was not seized or anything, was well functioning. while I was at the calipers, ive reconditioned them, as ive had recon kits, which i bought around half year ago, as i had in my mind, that front brake calipers will have to be reconditioned.

Thanks for your answer. I was thinking same, brakes are brakes, and well know , good reputable name to use. Kind of not in position test unknown brand... might it good , and no problem with it, maybe leave for youtube/instagram vlogers to test. .. I consider go known brand... Mintex, Bosh or Brembo . .. website where I am usually buying parts ( shop located in germany) offers number brake disks , bit confusing ... as there thickness and diameter are number variations for my car, is there find out right part numbers for my car ? factory s-line, 2008 audi a3, 2.0 16v tdi (pd engine) . thanks.

Good work. Went through your issues. Not only Audi, but the whole Vag group of cars suffers from bad/broken wires in door rubber gators. If on these cars door electrics start play their own life(also speakers may be affected), first thing is pull off wiring, check for wire damage.. I had number vag cars, all them had door wiring issues. Regarding your rear wiper, before you replace it, get checked if any power comes to plug. Could be broken wire in back door rubber gator. About fan motor, check outside if plastic tray under windscreen (with holes for front wipers) is fit tight in windscreen plastic groove... If it not clicked in, water drips on to fan motor.. On my audi also first it stopped, I've gave a good wd40 spray, and worked for few months, didn't had chance fix that plastic, and from water that motor died.. Then I bought second hand one, replaced, and spend half of day to clean that groove, as it was full of dirt from long time, after I've click that plastic in groove, now everything is fine. You've got lovely motor their, now I wish I had automatic one... If you get picture of big sticker wich is in boot where spare wheel is, we can figure out what engine you've got. Ta

Hi folks. Time to replace all brake disks and brake pads. I am considering go one make disks and brake pads.. As far as I know if you put different make brake disk and brake pads, often lead to different problems.. Squeaks.. Overheat... Warped brake disks.. Etc.. Is there brand that yous would recommend? Mintex.. Bosch.. Or others? Today got offered klaxcar brand.. Don't k know anything about it. Would that brand would be good enough to use on my car? I am not racing or participating of any type of races.. Just normal daily drive.. (100 miles a day) x 5 days a week. Picture attached.. Thanks.

Hi. There is no warnings on dash. Seller stated that is compatible with CAN system.

I would say difference is significant. Nobody flashed in journey home , so fitted correctly. One day will pop in in garage check lights on machine.

Yes. Regular h7. Ive got led lights yesterday evening. Unbranded. installed today, when im home after work, will put pictures to show differences.

Hi folks. Does anyone know what socket set have my audi for headlights(low beam). I am trying one company, them asking for socket type. Thanks.

Ok, just wondering is reflector in light getting bad over time? Would that be reflectors issue? However dipped lights are the most been used which is lenses, even through the day(I have coded Scandinavian lights in, as I do think cars should have light on all the time it moving). I've seen some LED bulbs for sale, promising easy installation. (I am handy with spanners, and electrics).. If Google up, first comes up number variations of Osram led kits, wonder anyone have used them, any improvements?

Hi folks by the time getting dark, headlights are kind of dull, i mean feels not that efficient as it should be . Any idea improve headlight performance? LED light bulbs, or have to replace whole headlights ? thanks.
