Get yourself a pair of jack stands. Hydraulic jacks can fail which is likely deadly.
Alright guys had my a3 tfsi 8p1 for a fair few months now just had new engine fitted as my old one blew up, now begins the modification process and do you know what, this video legit has been proper decent you showed everything that needed doing and how to do it defo carry on doing that for the a3 ill continue watching.
Proper decent
Alright mate it was my car but its sold now so wont be much more about the a3 now but stay tuned there might be another a3 coming again soon 😊
@@jasonclews3738 decent man well I'm doing the coilovers tomorrow so hopefully goes ok, just decent too see everything done so yeah ill have the video playing in the background when I'm doing it😅👊
Glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful👌🏻 and jase Why did you not tell me this????
Be aware the top mount bolts will spin if the nuts come lose I had to cut them off with a grinder
Exactly what I needed
Great guide! :)
Great video, will use your training for my wife's 2012 a3 that needs springs! Please invest in a good set of jack stands. I've worked in the industry a long time on the commercial side and jacks fail more than you think.
Nice video..same color A3 but not a square back ...🤙🏿coilovers is the next project ..already did the intake ,now coilovers then onto headers ,full exhaust..father and son projects on my sons audi 🤣🤙🏿Aloha! From Hawaii
I’m looking at getting some coil overs for my A3 sportback.Why didn’t you not just take the bolt out of the bottom control arm on the rear axle to get the spring back in. You might need to check the trailing arm bush to see if it’s damaged.
Would mk4 golf coilivers fit Audi A3 8P? 2008 1.9
Shouldn't you have put the metal adjustment for the spring at the top? The way it is now, the adjustment screw is set into the axle where you can't even use the adjuster tool. If you flip it so it's on top, it gives you easy access to adjust without having to take everything apart. Both sets of coilovers I've installed for my A3 8v recommend you install it this way from the manufacturer installation directions
If I remember correctly, this was a while ago now they didn’t fit properly at the top, they were moving and weren’t a snug fit but was on the bottom
Hey mate really useful video, thanks. Was interested in how you got your engine cover blue and wanted to do something similar to mine was it just spray paint?
All the difficulty in this job ,is at front strut ,at the point to take out the shock from strut ,and after at assembly.
The key,is to succeed to opening very very well the strut.But this It is not feasible always...
There are a specific tool for this (to avoid chisel in the slot)with name "Suspension Strut Spreader Socket "
but-is-not-so effective" especially when the strut material is made from aluminum(see.S3 8p).
In my opinion the manufacturers are a bit silly in this point.
It could ,the one side of the hole was threaded(in aluminium strut,with steel sleeve).
When you wanted to open the strut ,very simple put a small piece of sheet metal,or a washer (2-3mm)on the slot-to tap the another hole-and after with the same bolt at opposite direction ,simply screw the screw, and the strut opening very easy and "healthly".
Ive got blue line jom coilovers on mine n makes a clunking noise when going over bumps and that, had new anti roll bar links bottem ball joints and new top mounts, however you did mention about the arrows on the top mounts why is that?
The top mounts are meant to go on a certain way they’re probably tilted slightly for the geometry of the suspension
why didn't you take out the bolt at the rear you could do it alone hihi it would fold right open!
Youve done it the way id expect to do it. All thr other ways ive seen it doen, thry take the axle out of the hub. No idea why...
hello, do you have good feedback on these coilovers? I'm thinking of putting mine on. is the car too hard?
They’re good for the price
Nice a3 man. What wheels are you running?
Think they were BBS LM replicas mate
just took me 10 hours to get my old spring off of the front and called it a day 👍 fuck doing this again
Salut à mettre des amortisseur et au vues de l etat des amortisseur arrière j aurais fait les coupelles
Do they use oval or round rear shock mounta
Not too sure on what you mean mate, are you on about the top mount or the bottom bush
Do you mean the bump-stops mounts? If so, oval for models 2003-2008, round for 2009-2013 models.. (made the mistake of picking up ovals recently..)
Hello I just found this video looking around for A3 vloggers I seen you have the honey comb grille, does jase remember how much it was and where he got it if he did buy that. They are heavily expensive and I suppose I tend to be late when there are 100$ deals for honeycombs, Now I see $200+ grilles on eBay
Hi dom i brought it second hand but you can get them from xenon uk but they aint cheap! 😩
@@jasonclews3738 £100 Ali express mate
What year is that a3? And the size of the wheels.. car looks nice
It was a 2010 and I think they were 18”
How long does it take you to destroy the last set of shocks?
Lasted about 2 years mate
What’s your wheel width?
I think they were 8.5j
Oh mein Gott was für ein Pfusch 😂 Ihr müsst neue Schrauben hernehmen. Der neue hintere stosdämpfer habt ihr vor dem Einbau geschrottet 😂😂 man müsste mit einer H6 innensechskant gegenhalten 🤦 In Deutschland würdet ihr keinen Meter mehr fahren.
