Hi all I've just got my first Eva audi a3 but only the standed 1.8 for now but every time I start the car, the heater or water message thing keeps flashing on the dash if any 1 could help shed the light on this would be much appreciated cheers

Hi Bryan, what's the message you get?

Have you tried scanning for error codes?

Thanks for the quick response I will take a picture in 10 and post thanks

P0300 fault code

I think that code is often related to the coilpacks.

Also, the water thing I believe is just showing you that it's overheating - look at the temperature gauge. Should be about halfway.

Thank you the temperature gauge only goes half way but the guy I got it off said it has just had a new water pump and coil packs so wondering if it needs plugging in to reset everything
