AUDI announced a problem with the A3 affecting a total of 8,586 vehicles.
The two mass flywheel can become damaged because of a non-optimally designed through-flow restrictor in the clutch pressure pipe. This can lead to a total failure of the flywheel and under unfavourable circumstances to a vehicle fire. Vehicles built from 12/01/2003 to 06/30/2005 are at risk.
The following remedial action is necessary to address this problem. Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and establish the manufacturer of the two mass flywheel. Where necessary replace the flywheel and the breather of the clutch pressure pipe.
Vehicles with the following identification numbers are affected:
WAUZZZ8P369020490 to WAUZZZ8P369020490 WAUZZZ8P*5A000164 to WAUZZZ8P*5A176719 WAUZZZ8P*6A000109 to WAUZZZ8P*6A024252 WAUZZZ8P*4A064592 to WAUZZZ8P*4A181532 WAUZZZ8P*6B000004 to WAUZZZ8P*6B003832 WAUZZZ8P*5B000002 to WAUZZZ8P*5B017348
