I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. Could be an issue with the maf sensor.

From what I've read from people who have done this on older a3s, you're best getting a golf dash from a car the exact build year as your A3. Then In theory it'll fit as mounting points should be the same, not sure how it'll work with the door cards though? Ie any protrusions from one or the other that'd stop the door closing. Don't forget that the instrument cluster is coded to your car with the imobiliser so ideally you need to keep the same cluster.

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂

Looks lovely with those wheels 🙂👍

Thanks kev, I've contacted two of them previously and couldn't tell me the history of the engines. I've contacted the middle one though as I'd not seen that one on eBay, so thank you 🙂

I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. Does the engine get up to temperature and stay there? If not then the thermostat could be faulty. In failing that it could be an issue with the heater matrix and heater control unit.

My great aunts Toyota Corolla ended up in Kenya. That was exported legitimately though

Very nice motors.

I had realised euro 7 was coming. I've heard next year even electric cars have to pay ulez!

Could it also be an issue with the turbo if it's not kicking in?

Did you transfer the door modules from the old doors to the new doors? As this could be the issue

The certificate of conformity has to be requested by the owner to the manufacturer. It baffles me it doesn't just come with the car. I'm assuming this is for London ulez? If so you should be able to check a card conformity by the reg on the TFL site.

The modern line of performance vehicles makes them popular on the drag strip too with the likes of the BMW M series, Audi RS series, VW R and GTI series or even Mercedes AMG series all capable of recording some mightily impressive ¼ mile times.

Camping available onsite so come for the weekend. https://santapod.co.uk/das-gti-show.php

Wowzers! That's very expensive. Fingers crossed the second hand unit works 🤞

I'd definitely recommend a second opinion on this. Alternatively contact Audi customer services

I think if the cars a keeper then you've gone for a great spec 🙂 especially if it'll be rare.

For what model of audi?

Think replacing the antenna is your first port of call. You could do a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up

Glad we could help 🙂

Battery suggestion was me 😉 you've taught me well Gareth🙂

Fair doos, the Merc sounds nice!

Keep us posted on how you get on
