    Reverse light on when in or passing neutral

    Hi all, Just need a quick bit of advice. Discovered this morning that the reverse light is on when in neutral or passing neutral. So every gear change is causing it to come on momentarily. The reverse switch seems to function OK by providing a short circuit when pressed. So what could it be...

    Just been driving a Tdi 75 which feels like it has a very minor boost leak. None of the usual culprits at fault hear but at the bottom of the intercooler where there is that additional vacuum hose connection (small perhaps 5mm) I have air leaking out. I assumed these were blanked off. Is this...

    Im going to look at an A3 8V tomorrow with the 1.6tdi engine. Anybody here have any experience with these? or the engine? Not sure if its worth getting the 2 litre. In the family we've had the 8L and 8P previously with the 1.9 Diesel and they have been flawless.

    Evening. I'm trying to purchase some roof bars which are genuine Audi and look to be correct for the a2. However the bloke claims to have fitted them to his Passat previously. The part number for the A2 is 8Z0071126 but where would you find that written/stamped on the bars? Cheers.
