Hi all A quick update remanufactured gearbox in working a treat 3 weeks in used Luk clutch kit no unusual noises so fingers crossed thx all

Hi Gareth i agree with your logic as for finding a replacement gearbox i have now found one and its local to me the guy i was messaging was a complete waste of time and had little to no knowledge of the type of box i needed hopefully my car will be back on the road sometime next week oh the joys of Audi ownership thanks again all

Agrees Cliff i may have found a replacement remanufactured box checked part numbers stamped on housing its 0AJ 301 103 only difference is the final letter on his is an A mine is a B do you know if there compatible thanks again

Hi Cliff just to let you know on my car it’s not a dual mass flywheel it’s a single solid flywheel regards

Hello all A quick update on my clattering sound when taking foot off clutch taken the gearbox out my mechanic and i checked the clutch release bearing etc all of them in good working order Spinning the gearbox shaft and there was the noise i experienced when taking my foot off the clutch oh dear my mechanic/friend said i need a new gearbox i know the part number etc for my gearbox is 0AJ 301 103 B code LNY (see pic please to make sure ive read it right) so my next question is does anyone know of a good place to get a replacement gearbox from? Thanks in advance

Hi Gareth Thanks for your reply while gearbox is out may as well do everything I’m really surprised i didnt get any warning signs whatsoever it pulled well in all gears, gear change was always smooth and quiet still it is what it is just got to get on with it now

Hi All So this morning got into my 2009 A3 1.4tfsi started as normal foot depressing clutch as i was getting to the biting point the car started making a horrendous clattering sound which immediately went away when i depressed the clutch pedal I’m thinking its the flywheel and/or clutch Any ideas how i can narrow down the fault?

just to let you know i now have a reversing light!!! Was a bad connection at the bulb holder for the reversing bulb a little bending of the metal strips and all good Many thx again for your help much appreciated

I dont have a multimeter as i have no idea how to use it im a mechanical engineer by trade, electrics are not my thing

Hello Gareth i have checked and double checked the wires gave each of thema good pull with the ignition on and in reverse hoping id see at least a flicker from the reversing light but nothing unfortunately doing the new plug repair has got rid of all the previous errors except the reversing light (see below) 2 Faults Found: 01134 - Alarm Horn (H12) 000 - - Freeze Frame: Fault Status: 01100000 Fault Priority: 4 Fault Frequency: 1 Reset counter: 153 Mileage: 169737 km Time Indication: 0 Date: 2024.04.12 Time: 12:30:19 Freeze Frame: Term 15 On Voltage: 14.30 V ON ON Term 50 On OFF OFF 01518 - Bulb for Back-Up Lights; Left (M16) 010 - Open or Short to Plus Freeze Frame: Fault Status: 01101010 Fault Priority: 2 Fault Frequency: 1 Reset counter: 153 Mileage: 169737 km Time Indication: 0 Date: 2024.04.12 Time: 12:33:55 Freeze Frame: Term 15 On Voltage: 14.50 V ON ON Term 50 On OFF OFF I know the alarm horn issue wll fix that in due course as its the internal rechargeable batteries no longer holding a charge im at a complete loss now Gareth and hate to be beaten any ideas?

Thought id post a pic of it as well does anyone know if you can buy the dark grey cloth that covers the spare wheel cover and if so where would i buy some many thx again

Hello all im in the process of making adjustments to the boot of my 3 door A3 to accept a full size spare wheel it’s been quite a challenge but im nearly there just have a quick question about the screw down clamp that used to hold the space saver wheel how is the fixed part of the clamp assembly attached to the floor of the boot I cant see how it’s attached as i want to remove it and get a clamp to secure the full size spare wheel any help much appreciated

I’m a little confused as to there being no fuses in the engine compartment fuse box that you told me to check

Hi Jason I’m pretty sure this is the reversing switch all looks good inside no noticeable damage or anything once id removed the plug Im at a complete loss now i dont have an multimeter unfortunately
