Hello, this is my first post so I hope I’m in the right place in the forums for this. Basically I’m going to be viewing a 2014 Audi s3 with 31k miles on the clock. It’s failed it’s last MOT due to having no catalytic converters, but I’m told a new one is being installed upon my arrival. What sort of issues/common problems should I be looking out for? What sort of questions should I be asking the dealer? (Dealer is independent). Should I be taking out warranty if I do purchase? thanks.

Hi all, hope you're all well and keeping safe! I would appreciate if someone could help me with this issue.. So, I went to refill my Air con and there was no any leaks or issues. The compressor works, blower works, fans are working and everything seems perfect. So far I have used the radiator heating and i had no problems, blowing and heating on any settings you like. However, I switched on the air con and still everything works except no air blowing at all, not on any setting - windscreen, legs, dashboard... Computer checked as well and no faults. Thank you in advance for your help!

Does anyone know how to change the stock front grille on an Audi A3 8P 3DR 11” Plate to an aftermarket S3/RS3 front grille. I’ve heard that it’s a right faff around so i’m deciding on whether it’s worth getting it done at a garage or doing it myself. Cheers in advance. -
window Audi A3 2008 8P Driver Side Window keeps clicking
Justin123 posted a topic in Audi A3 (8P) Forum
Hi new to this page, I've tried searching round but can't find any page with the same problem. I have a 2008 Audi A3 8P, When I put the window up on the driver side it will go all the way up and then stop because the glass has reached the top but the switch continues to make a clicking noise until i press the button for it to go down lightly. Has anyone fixed this issue before and what was the solution? I'm not sure how the regulator works -
Hey guys, I were driving home from work earlier on when I drove over a nasty hidden pot hole. It went with quite the bang. Just turned my headlights on now and the passengers side dipped beam seems to have dropped leaving a weird line of light in the road as i drive. any advice on how to fix? :) thanks. (I also tried manually adjusting the light with the screwdriver and that did nothing but move it up and down)

Hi guys, I have a 2003 facelift a3 8L with the ARY engine, the engine has been !Removed! since I've had it, got a print out from a rolling road that says 240bhp however it only just beat a 140bhp 2006 Honda civic type s so probably running tops 170bhp. I've got my hands on a BAM engine but I dont have the tools or time to replace it myself, how much roughly will it cost to get it changed at a garage? Obviously this wont be happening until lockdown is over but thought I could start saving now as I'm luckily still working. Thanks in advance.

Hi I've recently bought an a3 (2007) 2.0 TDI sline don't really have a great idea as to what I'm doing when It comes to this told it was best to use a forum and get some help I'm after some coilovers/lowering springs that fit but not a clue where to start looking as I don't want to be paying too much. I'm also unsure as to where would fit them if I did find some. Thanks for your help

Hey all, New to the forum, and new to Audi! Picked up a 14 plate A3 2.0 TDi S Line on Saturday in red. I've been eyeing them for a while so decided to take the leap and get one - It's sure a big step up from my 1.4 Corsa! I already know some mods I'd like to get. A certain name keeps popping up; Maxton Design. I saw them displaying at Autosport this year, impressive stand! I've read a lot of negative reviews about them though... Has anyone purchased anything from Maxton Design and had an issue, or no issues at all? I've also been looking at their spoiler extension, but can't tell if it'll 'stick out' too much - if anyone has purchased one of these I'd love to see what it looks like on the A3!

I’m planning to remap my Audi A3 2.0 TDI 8P and also at some point install a K&N Induction Kit. I was wondering if anybody could give me advice on whether there’s any benefits of installing these in a particular order? (i.e. remap then induction kit or induction kit then remap)? Or does it even matter at all? thanks in advance.

Hello everyone, I have Audi A3 8P 2003 1.6i 102hp, with engine code BGU. Since I've bought car, I've been struggling with some issues regarding car rpm vary while idling. What happens is sometimes, doesn't matter if engine is warm or cold, rpm starts to vary. I do have LPG in my car but everything is fine with LPG system because same thing happens even if car runs on petrol. Now, problem is next: Depending if i run it on LPG (idle is around 600-800 rpm) or petrol (around 800+- rpm), rpm may start to vary. It can happen from time to time in traffic also. If car runs on LPG, rpm can raise to 1000+ rpm and fall down back to 600 or so within a second. Same scenario with petrol, only a bit higher rpms (800 to like 1500+- variation). Worst thing that can happen is after few variations, car simply dies and after next car start, it seems to act "normal". What I've noticed is while idling, that plastic manifold pressure is raising drastically when rpm start to vary. Everything happens within second. I did not realize in what actual moment it happens.. This is video from youtube (not my video), and this person had same problem: AUDI A3 1.6 IDLE PROBLEM!!! REVVING ITSELF Difference between situation from video and my own is that he does have 1.6 FSI while I have more simple version 1.6i and my car does not show any errors codes (on diagnostics) or lights on dashboard (no engine light, epc...), everything seems fine. Cheapest things that I've done so far with no success: I tried to clean my EGR valve, I tried to clean MAP sensor, I tried to clean throttle body None of above helped. Now, before I waste 100 Euros +- on new EGR, I would like to try something else that is cheaper fix, because I'm not sure if it's actual EGR or MAP sensor or something else... Please if you have any suggestion for me what should I try or replace that is a bit cheaper (for start), let me know. I will start from more simple things, then if necessary I will buy more expensive stuff. Thank you for help in advance!

Hi, I've changed my Audi A3 (2013 1.4 TFSI 8V) steering wheel. My issue is that my buttons aren't working. I'm just wondering, is this something I can fix or does it have to be like this? The steering wheel was changed from the Audi A3 normal steering wheel with shield air bag, and all MMI buttons (star, navigation, music up and down, phone) to the 2018 MF flat line S-Line steering wheel. Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi guys recently brought a stage 1 1.9tdi, Having an issue with the steering pulling to the left, so the steering wheel needs to be about 10 degrees to the right to drive straight. Also when I'm driving straight and hit a pot hole the steering wheel remains still but the car pulls to the left and then to the right like the front wheels aren't going in the same direction basically trying to pull me all over the shop, just wondered if anyone has had a similar issue? I was thinking it could be the track rod ends or ball joint but I'm just guessing, any advice would be appreciated as im a first time owner of an A3 8L. Thanks in advance if any of you beautiful people could help

Im looking to replace both lower control arms and ball joints on my a3. Does anyone know the part numbers or have a link to buy them. Recently bought it and the the arms are different on the front causing it to pull to the right. Is there two types?

Hello people im not new to Audi, but I’m new to the forum. I’ve recently part ex’ed my 59 sline A6 for a 66 A3 saloon, sline Quattro 2.0 tdi 184bhp. It has the stronic box on it. I’m looking to get the chip remapped. Several vendors have said they can add launch control on the remap. I was under the impression that launch control needed dedicated hardware that you find on S and RS models??? Or is it simply an upgrade to the software ??? Any ideas?? Thanks

Hello – I am hoping for some help as I am new to Audis and I’ve recently purchased an automatic 2004 A3 S-Line 2.0 diesel with 150,000 miles. The main issue I have when the car is in automatic mode and I am trying to accelerate when I’m already going fairly fast. To add some context to that. I drive on the motorway to get to work and I only really notice the issue during this time. Generally it’ll happen if I’m already in the highest gear and need to overtake or attempt to change lane which requires some level of acceleration. Instead of accelerating, the car just revs but there’s no power. The car does feel like it’s changing gear but it sounds very sporadic. I’m no expert but I understand the kickdown should ensure that the car is in the correct gear to cope with the sudden acceleration? Whatever speed I’m doing at the time doesn’t increase and if I don’t keep my foot flat on the accelerator the car starts to lose power. But by doing so the car is then at maximum revs. Worryingly, it’s not temporary either. I need to stop the car and switch off the engine before it seems to stop. I’ve tried switching the car to manual and using the paddles to change down a gear or 2 but this does nothing. The display shows the gears going down but the engine doesn’t behave in a way that would suggest it’s actually doing anything, it just keeps revving excessively. As I’ve mentioned. The only way to stop it happening is to stop the car completely and turn the engine off. This doesn’t happen every time (thankfully) but as you can imagine, once is enough during rush hour on the M3! I plan to take it to a garage but I wondered if anyone has experience anything like this before and what the potential cause could be. It would be helpful to be armed with some knowledge ahead of any trip the mechanic. This is my first time posting so I hope I've given enough detail on the issue Thanks in advance. -
I find the ride quite hard on my a3 8p 2.0 tdi, anyone managed to find replacement dampers and spring that softens the ride? -
Just collected my 2007 A3 2.0 TFSI DSG. Loving it so far but have yet to put it on the motorway for any real distance. Will be adding a new head unit for android auto next week!

Hi All, I am new to the forum, so apologies if this is in the wrong section. Also new to Audi ownership, love the car but one of the first issues I had was finding a phone mount suitable for the car. Especially since I did not like those that obstruct the windscreen! Came across one specially designed for Audi's. Variants are made for the A3, TT and Q2. https://www.audiphoneholder.com/ Purchased this product myself and very happy so wanted to raise awareness to anyone who may be in the market for one.
