Hi David, welcome to the forum. You'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) 

sorry to hear of your issue. I've never experienced it with an Audi before but have experienced it with Fords and certain Japanese cars before. 

As your a3 is going in for a recall it might be worth you asking Audi to have a look got you. They'll also do a free health check on the car when it goes in. 

Sorry I can't help more.

Cheers :)

Hi Glyndon sorry to hear of your sat nav issue.  

I've found these couple of YouTube videos which may help.

Failure

Welcome to the forum Jason, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :)

As Paul has said, a diagnostic check would be a good idea. But to be fair it could be as simple as the battery on it's way out. It might be worth you getting your battery tested. When batteries start to fail they can cause all sorts of electrical issues including power steering issues. Has the car battery gone flat at all?

Hi Gary, sorry to hear about this. 

I've found this website which may help:

Audi USA seem more willing to help than the European counterparts! 

Hope I've helped

Cheers :)

Hi Ben, 

It might be worth.yku getting a diagnostic check carried out. But I'd guess it could be the turbo or leaking pipe. Leaking pipes are easy to fix however if it's the turbo then it'll be expensive. 

My sister had a similar issue on her golf mk4 1.9tdi 115bhp and some of the blades within the turbo had broken. This was preventing her having the acceleration when she needed it. After the new turbo was fitted the car has been fine ever since. 

Hope I've helped

Cheers :)

Hi Alan, 

Here are some pics I've found online, I appreciate they are not all your model but they'll give you an idea :)

Hope I've helped :)

Hi Steve, 

Sorry to hear about this. I've had a look online and haven't found a part number. Sorry. On looking on eBay there seem to be undertrays for sale in there. It might be worth you asking Audi for the part number. Sorry I can't help more. 

Cheers

And how do you go about coding it to the car? 

With vagcom or similar software :).

Hi David, 

Paul is right it could be the hoses. One other suggestion is that it could be the washer bottle at fault. I appreciate my a6 is a c5 but I've had the washer bottle split on me recently which had to be replaced. No reason as to why it split though.

Think black will.look.good :) the lower grey trim on the sills and bumper can be painted the same colour as the car to smarten it up :)

Would a straight up swap fit if I was to keep the buttons non-functioning?

Hey olly, hypothetically yes. It may still need coding to the car though.

Hey Andris, good wheel upgrade :) buy you've got you're work cut out.

What colour is your a4? Black wheels will go with nearly any colour except black or blue in my opinion. 

Cheers

Sounds to me like it's the motor or wiper linkage. Have you removed the trim panel to inspect?
