    Have you looked online how much a used one would be, this would be used to just check basic functions as would be coded to different vehicle but should still get high beam function with the stork

    You can jump the electrical side of the valve to see if your aircon pump clutch engages which would confirm what your suspectin. to change the sensor without degassing is usually possible as it should screw into a valve that will stop the gas escaping

    This is the Amazon seller I bought mine from and appears to be manufactured on same line as the Audi sold ones. materials and markings matched up and even just had the Audi logo marking scratched off. The One on the listing photo looks like cheap rubbish but that’s not what they sent

    Pretty sure it’s the same part number across most the range so will affect all models

    Believe it’s a multifunctional relay for main and dipped beam, I would look behind the fuse box on drivers side as relays hidden back there

    If you get your slave cyclinder from Audi double check that it comes fitted with the seals, I’ve had to order them seperate for B9’s, also didnt come with the elbow that has the bleed nipple on it. the LUK slave that comes in the clutch kit comes with the seals and elbow already fitted. Il attach a picture of the fax that Audi use for the slave Incase it helps

    That’s how Tesla’s work, very impressive when you drive off the ferry

    If you have your own diagnostic I would just unplug one at a time and check for codes each time to pin point which is 1 and 2, Should just give a open circuit fault code that clears when reconnected, replace these a lot from rear collision damage and never have a problem afterwards

    Should be fakra connectors, give them a spray of wd40 and wait 10 minutes. Use a small pick to help release the tab

    Not sure about the A3 but my understanding is antenna 1 is in the roof fin and antenna 2 is behind rear bumper bolted to the rear panel, typically on left hand side

    Any reputable brand should be fine, Audi don’t make these parts themselves anyway so possible you get the exact same item but in a different box. Active grills are visible looking thru the front grilles of the car.

    Headlight

    It was always in the mmi under car settings. Might have only Been on projector lens headlamps not sure about LED lights. It flattened the beam rather then full LHD conversion but was all that was required

    I would check all coding that you have done as if your sure the new door modules are the correct version then can’t see what else it could be

    Stevie Q is bang on with a diagnostic scan. If you don’t have a scanner With a helper you can rest a finger tip on each sensor one at a time and you feel a very gently ticking, a sensor that doesn’t tick or ticks a lot slower and weaker then the rest could be failing/failed. The system will time out after a 1 second or 2 so will need to keep cycling the ignition and system to check them all, that’s why you need a helper.

    Hill hold uses your abs system so you will need a diagnostic check on this system. one quick thing to look for is does your instrument cluster still know what gear your in, if a sensor has failed and it can’t detect you in gear then it also will not function as hill hold does not work in neutral

    Turning cabin heater on full speed on max temp was trick used years ago when the thermostats stuck shut and used the heater matrix to cool the engine instead of your radiator. If doing this prevents your over heating then you may have found your problem. Also worth checking is active grilles, does your car have them and are they working. Should get a fault if they fail but have seen it before. They usually cycle when the car is switched on if fitted but you would need someone to watch for you.

    I fit a lot of Windscreens due to crash damage or passenger airbags deploying and breaking them. The glass layers on a windscreen have become a lot thinner over the years relying on the strength of the Perspex core.

    Wheel bearing whine can be hard to pinpoint sometimes, Jack up each side of the car and hold the coil spring tight with one hand and rotate the wheel, you might be able to feel a roughness. i know this sounds strange but the spring is under a lot of tension so works like a amplifier making it easier to detect wheel bearing defects

    When I replaced a B9 tdi clutch 2 years ago all parts were dealer only but 3 months ago I got a clutch kit for the same engine from a motor factors but they did say it had only just became available
  20. Sid2020
    Usually when the part is out of stock everywhere like that it’s because it’s still under license to the car manufacture. So LUK can’t not supply it to third parties or even sell it themselves. LUK supply Audi so if Audi have stock then this will be the issue you will be having which is strange since the cars been on the market since 2017. Slave cyclinders are the same in all b9’s are far as I’ve came across and been available thru motor factors for a couple years

    Aircon gas needs replaced/recycled every couple of years to work at its best. Over time the amount in the system reduces and loses its efficiency as it absorbs moisture. I’ve found The newer 1234yf gas used doesn’t supply the same chilling effect in cars as the older r134a but is used because a change in law as its a lot more environmentally friendly.
  22. Sid2020
    So my car has suffered the same fate, servo sensor from Amazon for £13, looked 100% identical to the removed one, same plastics and markings except the Audi logo had been scratched off which is quite common on aftermarket parts if there made by the same supplier Audi use. Bargain
  23. Sid2020
    Your best to pop into a local motor factors. They don’t usually have websites that are much help as deal with trade customers over the phone mainly. I got my LUK clutch kit from Dingbro but I’m based in Scotland and mine is a diesel B9. Clutch kit for mine consisted of pressure plate, clutch plate and slave cyclinder. My dual mass fly wheel was fine and that’s after 120k. Dual mass fly wheels on these cars are off a new design so they rattle when rotated or shaken as is perfectly normal.

    Il post a picture to help explain what I mean about the airbag part that you shouldn’t have anything in, all wires should go above the Jesus handle fixings and secure to either the bodywork or be above the roof lining about 6inchs inwards like other manufactures do
  25. Sid2020
    To lower the roof cloth enough to install the wiring further enough inwards as not to interfere with the curtain airbag clearance section of the roof cloth you would still need to remove B pillar trims, Jesus handles and sun visors, personally I would always rather work along the floor trims then roof trims. If you do go down the roof cloth route be very careful when applying pressure as it’s only thin cardboard with a sponge fabric glued onto it and it kinks very easily and can remain visible afterwards
