Hey All, [2011 AudiA3 Sportback 1.6 Tdi Attraction Hatchback] Around the start of April all the bulbs on my passenger side failed, after attempting to change the bulbs to no avail I did some reading on this site and found it was a melted F16 30A fuse which is apparently a common issue. After fixing that, about a month later the car went into limp mode an hour and a half away from home, and I took it to the nearest mechanic who said it was an injector problem and the injector number 3 needed to be replaced. That was replaced but then a week after that, the car went into limp mode again, I re ..read more

Just purchased a 2015 A3 Premium S-Line 2.0 with the 6 speed DSG today. First time DSG owner, multiple German car owner. I purchased knowing the transmission had some issues. It is throwing a P2711 code. We hooked into HP Tuners and got a quick glimpse of what is going on. The transmission will go from 1st gear to 3rd and will not go any further from there. Remains in 3rd until slowing down. It also locks reverse gear out until you shut the car off and turn it back on. I’ve done plenty of research so far but nobody ever returns to their forums to tell people how they solved their issue!! I’ve ..read more

Hello everyone, A week ago, I bought an Audi A3 Sportback 1.4 TFSI with 183,000 kilometres. In the week that I've had it, it drives great, with no issues with the clutch or engine power. However, I keep hearing a strange noise that shouldn't be there. At first, I thought it was the exhaust, but when I put it in neutral and revved the engine, it sounded normal (without the strange noise). But when I start accelerating, it sounds like a tractor or something similar. The closest sound I can compare it to is a video where there's a problem with the timing chain, and I only hear this rattling nois ..read more

I have an A3 S-Line TDI and I am trying to order front struts for it. There is the option for Sport or Standard. I have been searching for hours trying to find something that will tell me if it is a sport suspension or not, and have came up with nothing but frustration. I am content with the stance and ride, so not looking to change anything. The struts that are in there now are black, but of course don't know if they are original or not. I seem to recall that I saw Sachs on them when I was replacing a wheel bearing. Would it be safe to say that standard and sport are dimensionally the same an ..read more

Hello, I'm new to Audi S3. I purchased a 2015 S3 and turned out it doesn't have a backup camera. no backup sensors. I have decided to add a backup camera to it. To do that, the first step is removing MMI module. However, the tool came with the module doesn't work. It goes in and I can hear the click sound. But, it doesn't come out. This is what I have. Any suggestions? Thanks ..read more
