Afternoon All, Noticed a bit of an oil leak the other day (left the under tray for a day). On further inspection it is coming from the oil return pipe at the engine end between the pipe and the block, so not the pipe its self. I am going to be doing an oil change at the weekend, but just...

New clocks fitted, sorted !!

If i am right handheld vag is only for fault codes, you need vcds to get into the cars brain (ecu), mine stood for 8months and the condensation from the windscreen got in behind the clocks and gave me the same problems you have, when the clocks sometimes display random lights (mine had the bulb...

Ignore this, do not take it to the stealers the will want around £600 including clocks!!

yes a used one will work but will need to programmed to your ecu, someone with vcds can do this very easily and takes about 20min including fitting the clocks, i bought mine from ebay £20 and my mate had the car running in less than half hour. if you are going this route then see if you can...

I know you have already said, but this seems very much like a immo problem, see the problems i had http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/a3-s3-forum-8l-chassis/150502-2000-sport-tdi-non-starter-please-help-before-burns.html The immo light does not have to be on for there to be a fault, mine turned out to...

Start here and let us know bud the thread is really good

Really glad to hear you got it sorted bud, a bit random how the actuator had moved on its own, but knew you would get there in the end, nice 1

All depends on mechanically minded you are really. This could be the biggest or the worst mistake ever. I buy and sell a lot of childs mx bikes which i always buy as non runners or spares & repair, but this is something i have done for a while so not problem is a big one. How mechanically...

The best way to produce live data is, get a nice flat road, 3rd gear, about 1100revs, then floor it, this should produce something like this; http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/a3-s3-forum-8l-chassis/165459-limp-mode-17965-charge-pressure-control-positive-deviation-live-data.html There is also this...

Not sure it is the same as the 8L A3 but i had this and it turned out to be broken clocks / instrument cluster, you can turn the immo off with vag-com but not idle as it will start with ANY key

Ya could be on the money there, whilst i was adjusting my actuator i noticed mine was no where near the arm. Adjusted it and hay presto not had limp home for a while now. Hope this sorts it i know how much this can get to you

I would get a vac tester on your pump, it sounds like you have fixed the leak now the pump cant keep up. Adjusted the actuator on mine at the weekend, so close to been a flying machine, just needs maybe one more turn at least

Hi, A while ago my key fob stopped working whilst doing the auto closure of the windows and sunroof. Now the key will only open the drivers door and the central locking will not open the rest until the ignition is on. I have noticed the pump does make a lot of noise when locking the car...

Adjusted the actuator today and it will run alot higher revs before limpmode kicks in, think half or one more turn may cure it. Cheers Guys

Going to adjust the actuator to make the rod longer as on live data this is miles to high, then check the lower inter cooler pipe as i have heard these rub on the drive shaft if they become slightly loose or soft. More updates on monday guys, if i dont fix it sooner, fingers crossed:p
