  1. Running it with barely any oil will more than likely knackered it. Have you checked for leaks? As it shouldn't be low unless there's a leak.
  2. I wouldn't be surprised if it's not done with it. A lot of Audi's have been arriving without correct specs since COVID claiming issues with supplies, chip shortages etc. Q7s have been coming without matrix headlights too.
  3. I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. The carpets haven't got wet at all have they? I ask as the comfort control module sits under the passenger footwells and controls windows etc. When it gets wet it can become damaged.
  4. The only thing I can think of is that the cars had a replacement head unit at some point
  5. Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂
  6. I'd recommend to look on eBay including international sellers.
  7. I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up as the issue could be with the module or wiring harness etc.

    Looks like the code is a fault for the engine mounts. You need to check the wiring to the mounts as they are prone to breaking quite near to where they plug in. If wiring is ok then it could be the sensor for the mounts or the mount(s) themselves.
  9. I'd definitely recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. If you're experiencing multiple electrical issues then it might be worth looking at the comfort control module which is situated under the passenger front footwells carpet. If this is got wet at all from any water ingress then this could be damaged. If it is this then you'll need to get one with the exact same part number. Alternatively electric windows and other door electrical issues can be attributed to broken wires in the door harness in the flexible rubber but which joins door to the a pillar.
  10. I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. Could be an issue with the maf sensor.
  11. From what I've read from people who have done this on older a3s, you're best getting a golf dash from a car the exact build year as your A3. Then In theory it'll fit as mounting points should be the same, not sure how it'll work with the door cards though? Ie any protrusions from one or the other that'd stop the door closing. Don't forget that the instrument cluster is coded to your car with the imobiliser so ideally you need to keep the same cluster.

  13. Looks lovely with those wheels 🙂👍
  14. Thanks kev, I've contacted two of them previously and couldn't tell me the history of the engines. I've contacted the middle one though as I'd not seen that one on eBay, so thank you 🙂
  15. I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. Does the engine get up to temperature and stay there? If not then the thermostat could be faulty. In failing that it could be an issue with the heater matrix and heater control unit.
  16. My great aunts Toyota Corolla ended up in Kenya. That was exported legitimately though
  17. I had realised euro 7 was coming. I've heard next year even electric cars have to pay ulez!
  18. Could it also be an issue with the turbo if it's not kicking in?
  19. Did you transfer the door modules from the old doors to the new doors? As this could be the issue
  20. The certificate of conformity has to be requested by the owner to the manufacturer. It baffles me it doesn't just come with the car. I'm assuming this is for London ulez? If so you should be able to check a card conformity by the reg on the TFL site.
