Definitely 🙁 I do miss the old girl on the road

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 When did you work as a master tech at Audi? Cheers Steve

Nope, not even anywhere close to being ready.

Keep us posted on how you get on

It's all personal preference from powerflow. So up to you which you choose. You can get runner mounts which are made from the same material used in poly bushes. Lambda sensor should just unscrew from the exhaust. Then just screw back into the new exhaust.
-
In theory all the 1.5 petrols fitted to the q2 or cars based on it such as the A3 or golf should fit. I'd recommend ringing your local motor factors, if it's a large one it could have one in stock.

I think ibis white might have a cream tint but could be wrong. I know my dad's 2013 A3 8v had the free colour white which had the cream tint and think it could have been ibis white. I think the metallic white is glacier white.

I think you'll have to solder them to make a circuit. You can't disable it via vcds etc. This video might help:

I thought ibis white was also a solid colour? The best thing would be to visit the local dealer to see the colour chart or cars in the flesh.

I'd recommend ringing your local motor factors. The 1.5 engine is fitted to various models including the A3 so finding one shouldn't be too hard.

There could be a lambda sensor. Fitting the rubber mounts are fairly straightforward. It's joining all the exhaust sections together which can be the most complex to get a tight seal. Have you looked at powerflow exhausts? My brother and a friend used them and wre happy with the exhausts.

Glad it's all sorted and new engine is settled in nicely 🙂

That's 3 of us then. The meet point is: Tesco Esso Express Hythe Esso Express Beaulieu Rd SO45 4JH

Chrome trims replaced for black trims exterior.

I'd recommend looking on eBay. -
Looks lovely. If you bought it from a dealer then the faults you've highlighted are their responsibility to repair FOC within the first 30 days.
-
They've been struggling to get certain kit. For example I know some q7 cars haven't been fitted with matrix headlights when they should have been fitted.
-
What's the spec difference? As your old one was clearly a higher spec.

HELP!!! Audi A3 purchasing assistance required
Steve Q replied to ErenJaeger's topic in Audi A3 (8Y) Forum
You could wait, but current trends show that petrol and diesel cars are holding their values more than they used to as people don't want electric but they'll still depreciate a little. Plus once April comes the new reg comes out so it'll reduce in price then in theory. -
Hi all, newbie alert! Decent workshop manual
Steve Q replied to stchris356's topic in Audi A3 (8V) Forum
Bentley manuals might do one but they're not cheap -
The VIP event might have been a way to try and get older models sold in prep for the new model.

Please keep us posted on how you get on 🙂

Might be worth speaking to retrofitters such as autologics or Audi retrofits as members have used them in the past and they have been happy with the results. Might be able to activate them via vcds or obd11 etc.

First thing to check is the battery tray housing as the drains in the bottom of the tray can clog with foliage then water gets into the cabin via the bulkhead. Other locations could be water getting in via the boot seal near to wear the roof meets the boot.

I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up
