Ivan,
Just confirm with me exactly what you need to know out of the workshop
manual, and I'll get it to you somehow.
I don't think my scaanner works anymore, but I can take a photo of the
pages clear enough to email to you.
I take it your ivan.wells at symbol gmail dot com is your email addy?
Cheers,
Greg.

Re: 1999 A3 TS Mirror Vandalised
I'd really appreciate the info too; the Audi dealer seemed fairly
clueless but I'm fairly certain it's the bracket that attaches the
mirror to the car that's broken. If I was able to dissasemble it myself
before laying out for new parts though, would be excellent!

Re: 1999 A3 TS Mirror Vandalised
I'd really appreciate the info too; the Audi dealer seemed fairly
clueless but I'm fairly certain it's the bracket that attaches the

before laying out for new parts though, would be excellent!
