  1. Just an update. One of the garages who were looking to do the work ha e informed me that getting internal parts are proving hard to source. I believe this to be true and not being fobbed off as the garage is run by the son of a good colleague of mine. So I may have to look at a totally different engine after all.
  2. My friend has used stance + on his A3 8v. You could always look at a bilstein kit.
  3. I'm always sceptical of cheap Chinese parts. Can't go wrong with bosh.
  4. How very strange! Could it be water leaking nout.of the battery?
  5. I fitted one to a ford escort back in the day and it did make a slight difference.
  6. I don't think the tyre pressure warning light is a failure but happily proven otherwise. Yep it can be done by a retrofitter such as Audi retrofits or autologics. Or try a local vag retrofitter local to you.
  7. Thank you. One garage said they've been struggling to source the parts. So might do a proper engine swap. You've made a great job with yours 🙂
  8. Simply Audi 2022 Once again it was a cracking show with a great selection of audis. Weather was good. It's such a good value ticket price of £16 as you gain access to the show, museum and manor house. Thanks to everyone who attended, it was great to meet friends both old and new and im looking forward to next year's show. Here's a few pics:
  9. Yep a second hand unit can be coded to the car. Alternatively you could look at an aftermarket apple car play/android auto unit.
  10. My advice would be to use a vin decoder which you can find free online. As your vin will store of the information. On top of that there should be a sticker in the boot well which will have various option codes too.
  11. Now that I'm not sure. You could always get an aftermarket amp fitted. I'd recommend getting an auto electrican to do it as the current amp will be coded to the car
  12. I'd definitely look at the wiring first especially where it connects to the window
  13. My crank has gone on my 2.5tdi c5. So gotta decide whether I'm rebuilding the current engine or engine swap
  14. First thing I'd do Is check the speaker size then see what type of speakers you want. Pioneer are a good brand. The optional extra sound system on these was Bose.
  15. Hate to rain on your parade but when I looked at induction kits for my A6 it transpired they were worse due to the heat soak and the stock airbox system was better. You might be better off with the upgraded panel filter instead of you're looking for slightly more hp. Heat soak will reduce hp.
  16. Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 looks a lovely looking A3 👍
  17. Very nice. I've got a 21 year old A6 which unfortunately needs an engine rebuild or replace
