I bought myself 2003 Audi A3 8P a few months ago, and since then, my ESP light on the cluster has been staying a bit illuminated. Anyone know what the issue might be? Can it be a blown bulb?

Hi everyone, I recently bought an a3 8p 2.0tfsi quattro 56 plate. I serviced it and put new discs and pads on. When it came to putting on the front right the discs wouldn’t fit. The guy asked me to check breakers for a carrier and a wheel hub. I bought both but it didn’t fix the job. My front brakes should have 312mm discs. The left does but the right has 282mm discs. Any help? I can’t figure out why the standard 312mm discs don’t fit. Is it the wheel hub, carrier or something else? Any help will be very much appreciated. for reference my front brakes should be: 312mm by 25mm -
I've had my 2007 A3 for around 10 years. Around a year ago the remote central locking stopped working. Tried replacement batteries but no joy getting resolved. Decided not to fix it further as it still opened from inside once the ignition is switched on. More recently though, the front passenger door will not open with the rest of the doors and must be done manually from inside the car before it can be opened. The final straw is the boot. It became intermittent opening and as of the last week it has now just stopped entirely. Again, manual release does work. I tried an OBD scanner and there were no fault codes. Hope someone can offer some suggestions as I love the car but it won't pass MOT next year if I can't resolve this.

Hi guys, First gear will not engage in my 1.4tfsi 2009 A3 8P. All other gears work fine. Ive already tried the process of putting an alan key thru the holes under the gear boot, pulling the selector springs back etc and still no luck. have also tried clutch-less shifting to see if it was the clutch & still no luck. Any ideas ? Reece

Hi all I need some advice on the air con on a 2008 A3. When the car is started i get a bit of cold air for about ten minutes and then it goes warm, is this just a case of needing re-gassing or are there other things i need to check? I did read on another post about the red lights on the dash mine has the air con light on and the Econ light on is this correct? Not sure if it makes any difference. Thanks Duncan

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 -

So my car has been of the road now for so long! Nearly a year. All because the transfer box has broke (literally got a hole in it, can’t be fixed) now from what I’ve learnt, they don’t make the transfer box anymore (discontinued). Now this is the second time this has happened, and I’m not sure why! So the first time it happened, I got sent a part, by a Audi specific breakers, they confirmed it was the right one... now I’m thinking, maybe it wasn’t!? And I’ve tried and tried to find out the correct part number for the transfer box that should be in my car, but no luck. Does anyone know? It’s a Audi A3 3.2 v6 8p 2004, someone must use be able to help! Thank you

Hey guys, I've been looking for a honeycomb style grille for my 2007 A3 8P Sportback and I was wondering if the one I found on eBay fits mine. It's listed for the 2009-2013 models and I just want to know if anyone knows if it fits the older models such as my 2007. https://www.ebay.com/itm/RS-Style-Mesh-Front-Hood-Grille-Glossy-Black-With-PDC-Hole-For-Audi-A3-S3-8P/272687447578?hash=item3f7d703e1a:g:854AAOSwX61ZJ5mB&vxp=mtr

Hi all, New audi owner but having a bad experience. 2 weeks into ownership and the oil pressure light came on. Mechanic said leak in the crank seal and broken chain guides so advised to replace waterpump aswell and a few other bits. Turns out the cylinder head is knackerd too. Car has been in the garage for almost 2 months now. 😢 So i am now on the lookout for a cylinder head or even a whole engine. If any one can help or point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated. Thanks Nayan

Hi all, My name is Hasan and I have just purchased my first ever Audi. Always been a 'Golf' man but here we are. As the title explains its an Audi A3 1.6 TDI Sport (8P). Its a 3 door 2010 model finished off in Metallic Silver with only 59k on the clock. Full Audi Service History and came complete with a full years MOT - no advisories and 1 year warranty. Happy days! Wanted to introduce myself as I'm sure you will all be seeing me on here a lot over the next few months. Will get some pictures posted once I've finished work. Also if anyone has a 3 door 8P preferably around 2009/10 model, feel free to share any pics.

Hi all, my gearbox blew and now do not have 4th and 1st gear, it seems a replacement is needed. is anyone selling at all?

Hi Guys, First of all, I'm new here and completely blue to audi's, so go easy on me. I just have a few questions before finalising my decision on a purchase of an Audi A3 or A4. Coming from the golf, I knew everything about the cars, which engines to go for, what to look out for when purchasing and how much roughly a clean model is really worth. However being completely new to Audi's, always wanting one and being in a position to purchase one, I am looking to get some questions answered. I have looked through this forum, looked for buyers guides or pointers and couldnt find anything to answer my questions. So, first of all, how much are these cars really worth? I know this is subjective, however lets say a clean example, with fsh and not a crap ton of miles, how much am I looking to pay? I have a budget from 3,5 to 5,5k, and I am looking for a clean example, preferably 06 onward however an 08 would be the perfect spot. I'd like a diesel, fuel economy is important for me. I have already read into this whole 1.9 vs 2.0 tdi's and whats wrong with the 2.0 and how its not as reliable, however after gathering all that information i am still leaning towards the 2.0 tdi 140. What should I be looking for? What big parts need replacing after certain miles? I heard the turbo needs replacing around 150k miles, so I thought to look either for a low mileage example or one that already has the big jobs done. Any problematic parts on these cars that like to go, certain sound I should be looking for? I'd like to finally buy a car that will drive me for the next few years without headaches and constant worry and taking it to the garage all the time. Difference between the 8P and the B7? I like the size of the A4 B7, and i always loved something about an estate, avant in terms of audi talk (still confusing). It might seem like a family car but I love it haha, is there certain engine codes i should avoid or look to buy? I understand that the A4 and A3 is very similar platform running the same engines? I just have all these questions in my mind, hopefully this is in the right place and im not causing chaos. Thanks in Advance, Mac. :)

What lowering springs do people recommend for for an Audi A3 FSI 8P ( 55 plate ) ? Cheers,

Hello, New to the forum and new to Audi :) So I've had my A3 which is my first car for just over a year and now I'm looking to improve it. My A3 isn't the Bose version so the first thing I would like to do is completely replace the sound system. I have been looking at the Sony XAV-AX100 as a potential new head unit but apart from what I like I know nothing about the parts that I will need. My initial budget is around £900 but I could be convinced to up that if it'll be worth it. I had been looking at Sony speakers simply so that everything would match but I don't have a clue if they will be good. I also would like to avoid a massive sub woofer in the boot if possible. I prefer quality audio (Not a bass head) so if there is one hidden somewhere in the car that i can replace then great but I'm thinking the most likely thing for me is a sub under the passenger seat. I don't have much of a clue so any help is greatly appreciated :D Many Thanks, Tom

Ok, so, justbti clarify I'm new with all this car talk and stuff so if I don't quite understand a reply, I apologise, I've recently bought a 2010, Audi A3 s line. im basically wondering what i can do to my car to make it sound great? I've read a few posts regarding a BOV and it seems a 007p and a split r are quite a common purchase? Which one would be best for me to get the nicest sound (the whoosh when letting off the pedal) I can without affecting performance or buggering my turbo up all together?

Hi everyone, I've noticed a bit of a rattle when accelerating from low revs. it disappears when revs increase and I can only hear it when the window is down (but it is noticeable). The rattle isn't there when I'm in neutral - its only when accelerating. I'm no mechanic but I would guess its exhaust. has anyone had anything similar?
