3.2 overheating issue
Yes the original was plastic. I have fitted a metal replacement, they're not as efficient but will last forever now, easy job 1.5 to 2 hours.

Retrofit Cruise Control (A3 8P 2010)
You just swap the stalk retainer, I wanted to do this but couldn't find the cowl with the third opening, then code in the cruise control. There's a YouTube Matty Mcfetridge https://youtu.be/pc_9ovbA6Ug?si=7UVhxRk64tklYwYw

3.2 overheating issue
So I've been having some strange overheating issues, the engine and heating are absolutely fine, it's the dsg that was flashing the block of death every time the weather is hot. I drained the coolant, flushed out the dsg oil cooler refilled and it seemed better but still eventually flashed the block of death, so I had been driving around with the heaters on Hi. The electric pump runs when the cars turned off, and also works when it reaches high temperature, so it wasn't that. So today I decided to drop the coolant again and tackle the water pump. I found my issue.

Location of the headlight Range Control Module
I had a range error on my 3.2, also a 2004 anyway the module is not in the foot well it's to the left of the steering cowl bolted to the centre console, I disconnected it while waiting for a new one to turn up with no errors detected whilst not in circuit.

A3 v6 Manual / DSG Gearbox swap
A manual can be fitted to an auto, but as stated will need all the TCM and related wiring. Then will also need the inhibitor switch to be connected to tell the TCM it's either in park or neutral.

I’ve just brought some Le Mans 18” wheels for my a3
Mine had Le Mans, and I've lowered with just springs, I can't add spacers to the rear because I think it will rub but I've never tried to see if it will.
-
Wheel sizes
The TT offset is completely different, I love the TT speedline's but they just won't fit without spacers.

Raspy sound when let off throttle
Here is a naff vid of my Passat, it had just done a regen but the metallic turbo noise can be heard.

Raspy sound when let off throttle
This sounds like my 16 Passat 2.0 TDI, just normal sounding. Mine has a more metallic sound, I'll get a recording, but I think it's due to the rev limiter and the fact the car isn't moving.

Vr6 link pipe nut size
Did the job, long process and nothing broken. Surprised the bolts just wound off after 21yrs, there's no repairing the flexi without replacing, anyway it was cheaper to get a new pipe with all probes.

Vr6 link pipe nut size
It was just so I could replace if any needed splitting, I found the sizes on LLL parts, and bought 10 febi replacements. M10x1.5 if anyone needs it.
