| Description Detailed description of removal, installation, adjustments, repair, overhaul and servicing of all the major vehicle parts (excluding body) including engine, CDI diesel and fuel injection system, clutch, brakes, steering, front and rear suspension, transmission, engine electrics with wiring diagrams, exploded views, complete technical data and a troubleshooting section.
Small though this Workshop Manual is in size, it lacks no detail in covering the whole of the servicing and repair of the Audi A3 models from summer 2000, ie. from model year 2001 with TDI diesel engine with a capacity of 1.9 litres. The first engine fitted to the new series is an engine with a performance of 130 B.H.P. (96 kW) at 4000 rpm with the engine identification “ASZ”. Also covered is the 100 B.H.P. (74 kW) engine, already fitted during 2002, but built in two versions, depending on the emission control identified with “ATD” or AXR”. All engines have in common four cylinders and 8 valves.
For model year 2003 two 16 valve engines were introduced. The capacity of 1.9 litres was retained, but the engine now has a performance of 105 B.H.P. (77 kW) at 4000 rpm. The other engine is a 2.0 litre engine with a performance of 140 B.H.P. (103 kW) at 4000 rpm. This engine is not covered in this manual.
Brief, easy-to-follow instructions are given, free from all necessary complications and repetitions, yet containing all the required technical detail and information, and many diagrams and illustrations.
Compiled and illustrated by experts, this manual provides a concise source of helpful Information, all of which has been cross-checked for accuracy to the manufacturer’s official service and repair procedures, but many instructions have derived from actual practice to facilitate your work. Where special tools are required, these are identified in the text if absolutely necessary and the authors do not hesitate to advise you if it is felt that the operation cannot be properly undertaken without the use of such tools.
The manual is called “Pocket Mechanic” and produced in a handy glove-pocket size with the aim that it should be kept in the vehicle whilst you are travelling. Many garage mechanics themselves use these publications in their work and if you have the manual with you in the car you will have an invaluable source of reference which will quickly repay its modest initial cost.
