Problems with lights front and rear
Has to be a connection issue, and with fuse boxes, many will have contact issues if moiture gets into fuse box. Look for fuse connector corrosion for your fuse for lights, which usually are marked in your fuse box cover or manual. Once you know which fuse is for your headlights and tailights, look for a white residue on connector, sure sign of corrosion, then simply clean with contact cleaner, or take small brush or tooth brush and clean contacts, then scratch surface with small screw driver and plug back fuse, of course, assuming fuse is not broken or defective. It is rare to have fuses be the problem with intermitent connection problems, but not impossible.
Good luck,

Back wheel sqeaking and getting hot
The following asumes only one wheel is hot and the e-brake is not engaged or possibly hung up from having been left on while the car was not driven for a while. Up north, BMW (Audi ?) brake disks tend to start rusting after about a week of inactivity. For a hung up e-brake, it is sometimes necessary to go back and forth to break the corrosion.
A hot wheel usually indicates that the brake pad is dragging (i.e. the brake caliper piston is not returning into the brake caliper bore).
A couple of checks: measure the brake disk temperature with a temperature gun on both brake disks of the same axle. If one is much higher, the caliper piston is probably sticking. Can also check for relatively large temperature difference with your hand-just do not touch the metal or you will get burned. Look at the brake disk for evidence of the outline of the brake pad that may have transferred to it indicating a very hot brake disk. Chock the car well, put into neutral with e-brake off, jack up "hot wheel" side and try to spin the tire. If a lot of drag, sticking caliper piston. Caliper replacement or disassembly for a thorough cleaning will probably be required. If this is necessary, you should do both brake disks and pads and consider doing both calipers on that axle depending on age and corrosion condition.
2.0 FSI. What is causing it to cut out repeatedly?
If you have replaced 4 sensors the problem must be somewhere else in the system. Exactly which sensor is it as there are many sensors built into an engine and transmission? You could get a Good Auto electrician to check the vehicle to see if there is another cause of the problem.
Hi I have a Audi A3 20 fsi 2004 when I turn the
I recently tried the DIY service and repair manuals from a website and it actually helped me repair transmission problem in my jcb 3cx site-master. It would'nt move forward or reverse, engine was good both solenoids for forward and reverse worked, but still couldn't diagnose the problem.
I don't have much technical knowledge but I just followed it step-wise, and now it works perfect! covers wiring, codes, diagrams, torque specs, PCV, everything
