You're welcome. Might be worth you ringing the aa as they can often get doors open etc without causing damage.

You're welcome, glad I could help 🙂

How weird. Wondering if there's an issue with a coil pack or maf sensor? Cheers Steve

Sounds good 👍

My only other recommendation would be looking on eBay for used parts. Sorry if I'm telling you how to suck eggs as you work in the motor trade. Cheers Steve

Sorry to hear of your issues. This video might help regarding the boot: Cheers Steve

That's good then, keep us posted on how you get on 👍 Cheers Steve

Yea using it for a bike rack shouldnt be too bad but I wonder if you could get questioned at mot time or if you get pulled by the police how ever likely that would be. I have to say it to air on the side of caution. Here's a Towbar guide that might be useful: https://autoevoke.com/index.php?/forums/topic/8998-types-of-tow-bars/&tab=comments#comment-9088 Cheers Steve

I'd definitely be speaking to Audi regarding the engine issue to see if yours is affected before buying a turbo. I'd also recommend getting a second opinion from another garage for piece of mind before splashing out. Cheers Steve

You certain it's not a wiring issue, poor/corroded connectors etc? Unusual for both rear light units to fail together I'd say. Cheers Steve

Nice wheels on yours 👍 My dad did have a white a3 8v for a while too.

Hi Thomas, welcome to the forum. What engine is in your b7? If you can't find one that's specific to the b7 I bet you can fi d one that's been fitted to other VAG vehicles as most engines were shared across the VAG range. Also here's a guide to fitting an induction kit. The process is fairly straightforward 👍 https://autoevoke.com/index.php?/forums/topic/4181-fitting-an-induction-kit/&tab=comments#comment-4224 Cheers Steve

You're welcome 👍

Yea I've seen the s3 one with a Towbar fitted. I believe certain companies are being a little naughty. The s3 isn't rated for a Towbar due to the quattro system but obviously the bodyshell/chassis is the same. However the reason why I say manufacturers are being naughty is that they're fitting towbars when the cars aren't rated and getting owners to sign a disclaimer that it'll only be used for off road use.

You're welcome

You're welcome

If it were my car is be leaving it with Audi for a few days untill the fault is found. Cheers Steve

If it's not activated then it'll have to be plugged in at Audi to have it activated. Audi UK have to plug the car direct into a computer linked to Audi Germany. Be prepared it's not cheap!

Great pics 👍

Think you'd be ok to carry on with it. Have you decided if you're repairing the a3 turbo issue? Cheers Steve

I know various people who have had Powerflow exhausts my brother and a good friend included. They both rave about them, quality excellent etc. My brother paid £400 for his system. Cheers Steve
