Hi....welcome to the Forum My first thoughts are if something has changed dramatically over time then it is quite possibly the tyres. Check the pressures and also check to see if the geometry has changed (damage to the wheel(s) Let us know what you find Cheers Trevor

Hi John...welcome to the Forum It sounds like the phone(s) have set up for your mates car and overridden the settings from your car. Maybe cancel out all Bluetooth pairings and resync with your car again. Let us know what you find out Cheers Trevor

Hi Dan....welcome to the Forum It sounds like a compromise of having the seat positioned so that you can comfortably reach the pedals with no discomfort in your right leg. The footrest is not a major issue regarding driving the vehicle (unlike the pedals) however, you might be able to fit some sort of block to raise/extend this further? I'm sure it's just a case of getting used to it as well, these things take a bit of time. Let us know how it progresses Cheers Trevor

Sorry to hear you're having problems already...although very handy having the warranty Keep us updated on how it all goes

Keep us updated on how you get on with this...be curious to know what the cause is

Hi....and welcome to the Forum What Audi have you got? Cheers Trevor

HI Darren Hard to tell with the sound of the Diesel engine running but if it was DMF I don't think you would hear it on idle, only when accelerating/decelerating and on startup/shutdown. I would have a look at the clutch release bearing....does the noise disappear when you press the clutch in? Cheers Trevor

Hi Dan...welcome to the Forum It's always a lovely feeling when you know you've got the right car....I always believe that you should try your hardest to find the best you can for your money but are allowed a couple of compromises (mine is usually interior colour, not too worried about that really). Good to have you onboard! Cheers Trevor

definitely sounds like CV joint but I would get it checked and replaced before it lets go...(loss of drive, potential of digging into the floor, etc)

Hi Darren....welcome to the Forum I'm not sure of where else apart from eBay for a secondhand one that one would be available http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/272299411506?clk_rvr_id=1183846714725&vectorid=229508&lgeo=1&item=272299411506&rmvSB=true Could you see if you can break into it and replace the faulty LED? Cheers Trevor

I would definitely check the driveshaft first as this would defintely be the cheaper option.

Good to hear you've got some jobs sorted on the car...just a case of keeping on top of the other bits and pieces. You off to Le Mans this year Chris?

Hi Aidan...welcome to the Forum Feel free to post up any questions and I'm sure someone will be able to answer it. Cheers Trevor

That certainly sounds like it's a heavy clunking noise and does sound like transmission/final drive lash. One area it may be is Constant Velocity Joint...worth checking this first
-
Hi Chris Do you have another remote or is that the only one? Possibly needs another battery or the buttons are worn? Let us know what you find Cheers Trevor

Hi Simon Yep, that looks like it could be the cause. It is a oil breather hose which will go into the inlet somewhere along the line to be burnt in combustion. Once fixed/replaced, that should sort the error Cheers Trevor

Here is a link to some images for possible location of the sensor https://uk.images.search.yahoo.com/search/images;_ylt=AwrBTvpcF8lY5RYABKtLBQx.;_ylu=X3oDMTEydnFtbDFsBGNvbG8DYmYxBHBvcwMxBHZ0aWQDQjM0NThfMQRzZWMDc2M-?p=audi+a3+crash+sensor+location&fr=mcafee Also, I have seen some references to it being behind the headlamp in the engine bay...which would give you the right location for side/frontal impact sensing.

It could be turbo related as this is around the rev range that it should go onto boost. Maybe run some cleaning additives through the fuel and also through the turbo to eliminate it
-
Hi...welcome to the Forum Sometimes the error can come up if the system registers a different resistance so maybe the LED lamps need different resistors/resistor pack to cure this. Let us know what you find Cheers Trevor

Hi .... welcome to the Forum Firstly, it does sound like the working clearance has been reduced over time (usually pressure of a foot resting on the clutch pedal) which has destroyed the release bearing and this is why it is screaming/rattling. The clunking could also be the flywheel on its way out but you won't know until you get in there. Rule of thumb is as everything sounds like it's worn/damaged, it is advisable to replace it all while you're in there as it is a false economy not to. Let us know how you get on with it Cheers Trevor
