Steve Q

Have you had a diagnostic check carried out? If so what fault codes flagged up?

Is this happening at certain revs? Certain road conditions? Driving or stationary? It could be a loose heatshield or underbody protector but could also be an engine mount antiroll bar links, ball joint on the steering rack.

Audi rear wipers are famous for failing and it is due to corrosion through washer fluid leaking into the motor. I would say gears are blocked, because grease has mixed with washer fluid. Remove trim, remove motor, open motor housing, clean, install additional o-ring (so it never mixes again), use new grease (water resistant), close housing, test. If motor circuit is wet, maybe it is broken. The two wires you measured always have 12V, the other two are trigger from control unit, you cannot measure it with multimeter.

Glad you got sorted 🙂 great advice for others in a similar situation. Cheers Steve

Wondering if this is a sensor or wiring issue. I'd be taking it to an Audi specialist if it were mine.

Think it's the same as the saloon and estate. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/264747192819

You sure it's a lever abd not a bracket? If it is a lever then I suspect it'll be mentioned in the hand book. Cheers Steve

Please keep us posted on how you get on 👍 Cheers Steve

Hi Dennis, I'm assuming the bushes and bolts were fitted at a different garage to the one trying to do the tracking? From what the tyre garage have said I'd be taking it back to the garage who did the bush abd bolt change to make sure the correct parts were fitted etc. Cheers Steve

Hi Kris, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 The 8p is generally ba good car but good service history is key. As you've read the horror stories then it sounds like you've done a good portion of your research. This YouTube video might help: Cheers Steve

Hi Carl I don't believe it needs coding to the car but it will have a 4 digit code that needs to be inputted before it'll work. Cheers Steve

You're welcome 😊

Sorry to hear of your saga glad the garage handled it well 👍 This video might help: Cheers Steve

As it's a private seller there's no come back unfortunately. And yes they could have just cleared the codes. But you'd have to prove it abd take them thorough small claims court. I'd be taking your mechanics advise on this, as no amount of cleaning will fix a failing turbo. Cheers Steve

This is an example of a big brake kit: https://www.killerbrakes.com/product/audi-rsq3-big-brake-upgrade-brembo-8pot-calipers-365mm-wave-brake-discs-new/ S3 brakes bolt straight on as long as you get all the bits. Here's the full list: You can install the S3 brakes on your car but you have to get all the parts, not just disks and pads. You need the calipers, the carriers and a few other bits.
