  1. Hello, any help and advice is greatly appreciated please. My partners A3 heating completely stopped working a few weeks back. Fuses checked but display in car for heating still lights up. I have removed the glove box and removed the heater motor. The motor felt damaged, rusty and didn't spin easily whats so ever. We found a replacement at a local car parts dealership but upon receiving it. Annoyingly the original plug coming from car is a gold coloured chunky plug with four separate wires connected. The slot for the new part only has one for a much thinner plug very similar to the one disconnected from the glove box. Is there any adapter available to make this possible to utilise this new part? Hope the above makes sense and thank you for any advice in advance 😊 please see attached images of said adapters.
  2. Hello, I have put down the money towards one of these cars, but mostly based on my previously rented A3 Sportbacks. Any links to reviews or videos, as much as I searched I have not found videos related to this model? Though it was listed as a 2020, it does not look like the ones that show up in car reviews when you search for a 2020. Any thing I may need to be aware of? Not the latest model, but one that looks like this (but in white):
  3. Hi all, I've recently purchased a 2010 Audi A3 sport tdi. It has the audi concert system, how easy is it to install the Audi navigation plus, is it an easy plug in or would I need it coded. Also on th navigation plus, it has Tel button, does this have a built in mic and Bluetooth I've attached a photo of the original system and the one I'm looking at Thanks
  4. Hi guys, Recently purchased an Audi A3 1.6 TDI 2013 (has the built in infotainment system) I know the car also has an MMI port, I was just wonder what the cheapest option is in regards to flashing in Apple CarPlay? Or if this is possible at all? Thanks guys
  5. Hello all, I'm pleased to be part of the community I have recently purchased an AUDI A3 8V se Ultra its the 1.4 TFSI 6 speed manual with 150BHP. It has an very rough gear shift going into 1 can be an issues and also from 4 over to 5 or 6 requires a fair bit of force to push into gear same with going into reverse. It seems like a gear selector issue (worn bushes or work shifter would have been my guess) However when i purchased the car from Arnold clark it shows its recently as 4,800 miles ago had a gear box recondition and repair for over £1200 pound. I could take the car back to Clarkes and see if there warranty covers the work but honestly round here they are useless and I'm not sure if I would trust them to fix the issue without causing 3 more. The car is drivable and still very enjoyable it just seems wrong that the "premium" vag group model has a worse gear action that my previous Seat Ibiza. Have any of you experienced similar Ive seen this was a common issue on the 8P keen to hear thoughts and if anyone has any links to replacement shifters I can only find short shifters that appear to be better quality but no uprated versions of the OEM part.
  6. I changed coil packs and spark plugs but still there is misfire. Esp light came and parking brake fault but gone. Audi A3 2013 1.4tfsi 65k miles
  7. Changed spark plugs 2 coil packs. Could it be the camshaft sensor ? P0301 code as well
  8. The mechatronic has been changed and now yesterday I got the same error that is gearbox malfunction. The car is in gear but does not move. I have to turn car off to get it working again. Engine light is there on dash. Audi A3 2013 stronic
  9. The car revs but struggles when in drive or reverse but doesn’t go anywhere. there was a loud knock and then the warning light came on. RAC came and they saw some filter has the seal not put properly and oil was leaking out. Could this be gearbox oil? 63k miles
  10. Hi all, I hope this is ok to ask as this is my first post. First of all, I cannot drive so have very little experience of cars apart from things my dad taught me and through ex's who drove. Unfortunately my Dad passed away suddenly last year (he was only 59), and I've ended up with his car. The car is beautiful and really well maintained, but as I'm not yet driving, and it has an engine size of 1968cc (a bit much as a beginner car), I really need to sell it. I have checked around online and the prices really seem to vary, so as Audi owners I was hoping some of you would be able to give me some advice as to a good price to sell it for. I currently have it on a SORN, and the MOT runs out in Dec. I plan on putting it through another MOT early in November to help with the sale. It shouldn't have any problems as it's hardly been driven since my Dad passed, apart from to keep the battery topped up. Also as a non driver, I don't yet have insurance on the car. When people come to test drive it, I'll obviously have it tax and tested, but do I need insurance or will the test drivers have the necessary cover? Thanks in advance 😊
  11. Hi, I’m new to this, never posted so hope this is in the right section. So lately I’ve been having issues, once I get into my car and turn it on, the little screen in the cluster area turns on and then randomly restarts itself and sometimes doesn’t even come back on. All while the car is on. i have attached a video. IMG_9624.MP4 any idea on what this could be? thanks Naj!
  12. Seen so many forums for this but none of them give a straight answer, I cannot find the location of the module anywhere?? Car is a 2008 Audi A3 1.9TDI SE Carista showing error 00003 Locking Module and 01038 Central locking thermal protection Any ideas? Thanks
  13. Hello everyone I'm new to all this forums thing and thought I would give it a go. Hope you are all well with these unusual situations. Now down to business I'm a kia ceed(2007) 1.4P owner and very happy with it but decided to look into buying an Audi A3 or A4 (2010-2013)and wanted to read your opinions on them. The engines of topic is 1.2-2.0 Tfsi engines. Which is more reliable? Which has better fuel consumption? What things should I be looking at when viewing them any common issues? I read that oil consumption on some of these engines are high. Anyone able to give me a hand and clear some of these things. I'm mainly interested in reliability and to reduce maintenance costs and which model is better. Thanks Akim Kuzmichev
  14. Hey Audi peeps, I hope you are all well? I made a video on the 2018 A3 saloon TDI black edition if any fellow Audi fans wish to see it?
  15. Hi, just bought an Audi A3 Sport 1.6TDI (66 plate) - but its the new shape. My question is, when I put it in sport mode it sounds very loud and revs go up into the red before it changes gear. On top of that, even though its a lot louder in sport mode and a bit faster on the acceleration, it's still lacking quite a bit on torque. Is this normal? Thanks Biggsy
  16. Good morning, I have had an issue with my A3's air conditioning for about a year now.. i've just never needed to really get it sorted because.. well it's England, how often do you use Aircon haha. The Audi A3 I have is the SE TDI 1.6l 2013 model. Basically, it was working fine - air blowers normal and then the air flow turned ice cold when I turned A/C on. On a road trip to Newcastle last April I turned the A/C on and.. nothing. The blowers were fine but everytime I pressed the A/C button, the red LED came on as I pressed down on the button but the second I took my finger off the red LED went off. So, I thought I would take it to Halfords for a quick regas.. they regassed it and kept the thermometer in the vents to check the temp. It filled it and in doing so it meant that the red LED stayed lit after I had taken my finger off which lead me to think that it had simply ran out of "gas" in the A/C. But, it still wasn't going cold. Fast forward a year and I am still in the same predicament - Red light comes on and stays on but the blowers don't change air temperature at all.. not fun in this recent hot spell that we have had. And with two roadtrips coming up (one from Manchester to Newquay in August) I am looking ahead to trying to get this sorted in advance. Had a quick check around the car last night - now I must admit I am a complete novice when it comes to anything mechanical like this but I am pretty good at learning stuff and being able to fix simple things myself - I know where the fuses are and all that sort of stuff so I am not completely useless but definitely no expert. I identified what I am pretty certain is the compressor in the engine, driven by a belt at the front left of the engine. This belt is constantly running when the engine is on - not sure if that should be the case (i'd presume it should only be on when the A/C button is on?) but there is definitely a high pitched whirring sound added to the engine noise when the A/C button is pressed and i am 99% certain it is coming from what I think is the compressor so... in my eyes I am pretty sure the compressor is working as it should. My original diagnosis is that there could be a leak where the "gas" (sorry I don't know the name for it atm) in the A/C is just completely leaking out when filled. This is backed up by the fact that I think the compressor works as it should when it is pressed and having it refilled enabled the red LED light to stay toggled on when pressed as opposed to going straight out when you take your finger off the button. Audi want £60 just to look at the car and that's before they quote me a ridiculous price to change something that's probably quite rudimental. Any ideas? I looked at the fuses last night but I couldn't get the aircon one out (need some needle nose pliers) but with it sounding like the compressor is activating when the button is pressed I can't see it being an issue with the fuse or else nothing would happen, would it? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Lee
  17. I need advice please! I have a audi a3 57plate 1.6 petrol 77k on the clock has a timing chain. For the past 6 month every now and then when the car is warm around 1000 to 2000 revs I can hear a tapping noise it seems like it comes from the left side of the engine, I've checked my oil and all seems ok. Wondering if anyone has had a similar problem.

  21. Dear Audi Forum Members; Thank you for reading my post. I am a complete beginner, I barely know the layman version of what I need to buy and take to the garage to fix. Please be kind to my description of the symptoms of my vehicle. I have an Audi A3, 2005/2006 Model. Initially, when I use the key fob to unlock the vehicle, my right passenger side door did not open. For some reason, I would use the key fob a number of times and it was jammed. Then after a few weeks, when I use the fob, the same door won't lock. I can hear a whirring noise but every door beside this one would lock. I have to press the button a good 10x and hope it made a sudden locking noise and then I would check if it had locked. If this fails, then I would have to wait in the car, turn the car on, wait 5 minutes and rinse and repeat for the door to lock. A new symptom is when I am in the vehicle, and I press the fob to lock when I am inside, pressing it a number of times, turns the light off and also the actual switch for locking all the doors on my driver's side of the door. Hoping someone could advise, what it could be. I have already called an electrician, and they said its £50 just to look at the car without even diagnosing the problem. Please Help. Thank you Bengalisama
  22. Dear Audi A3 8P owners and fans, I recently purchased an Audi A3 . I am a in doubt about the model and year of my car due to different websites are showing different results for number plate and VIN number. I was unable to identify the same trim and engine seize (1.6 petrol) on other similar cars. Can you please help me identify more details(HP, year model, level of trim) for my car? Please find attached a photo with all the car details from the trunk. Thank you! Regards, Mario
  23. Hello, I am an owner of an audi a3 1.6 2007 for 5 years now and I have been very happy about how reliable and durable this car is. Right now I am thinking to make an upgrade to an audi a3 again with the 1.8 or 2.0 tfsi engine from 2009-2011. Are these engine reliable and durable enough? will I have any major problems with them?
