Cargo Cover Noise Fix

Whoever designed (or approved the design of) the shelf cargo cover on the A3 really should have looked at the cover on the Mk. 4 Golf/GTI. The one on my old GTI made contact with the hatch when it was closed, so that the cover was held firmly in place and didnt move. On the A3, theres a gap between the cover and the hatch which allows the cover to move up slightly - not enough to have any actual purpose, just enough so that the cover will jump and bang when you go over a speed bump, for example. Also, on the GTI the strings that let the hatch pull up the cover had nice little spring retractors that sucked the excess string in when the hatch was closed or the strings unhooked from the hatch; the A3 has two weights that pull the strings down where they dangle in the cargo area. AND they bang around. This is really annoying lack of attention to detail in every way.

To solve the major problem, which is the cover jumping and making noise when you drive over anything rough, I simply used velcro. Velcro has two parts, the hook part and the loop part. I got some peel-and-stick adhesive velcro and took care of it in two steps:



  • Cut a 2" (5cm) square of the loop velcro about and apply it in the correct position on the hatch.

  • Cut another same-size square of the loop velcro and of the hook velcro, and stick the adhesive sides together back-to-back forming a pad with the hook on one side and the loop on the other. Stick this new pad onto the velcro square on the hatch, to make it thick enough to press against the cargo cover and hold it tightly in place.

Car Problems how to reduce fuel consumption

Car Problems gives advice - how to solve a fuel economy problem in your car. To think of fuel economy it is necessary to begin even before purchase car. What to avoid unnecessary problems with fuel economy, it is necessary to think over in advance - for what problems you buy the car and to choose the model corresponding to your way of life.
It is said that "on the tank to the next supermarket to go inconveniently".
Necessary to consider that each 500 kg of weight of the car manage in nearby 700 liters of fuel (at norm of run of 20 thousand in km in a year). It means that if your car weighs 1000 kg, you will burn for a year about 1400 liters of fuel if it weighs 1500 kg - 2100 liters.

Problem of high fuel consumption in yours car can create:
- Wrong resettings of the engine, wheels (+ 10 %);
- An underpressure in tires (+ 3 % on 0,5 kg/sm2 of pressure decrease);
- Superfluous cargo in the car (+ 2 % on each 50 kg of cargo);
- The engaged air conditioner (+ 10 %);
- Open windows at speed 50 km/hour there is more.
Also problems with increased use of fuel on your car can arise because of not correct control mode by the car. Frequent using brakes, sharp strong pressing an accelerator pedal, long work of the engine idling at warming up or car parking inevitably create a problem high fuel consumption.
Besides many failures of your car create a problem of the over-expenditure of fuel.


The failures causing the over-expenditure of fuel at cars with injection of fuel.
- Engine power is lowered for any reason.
- The gage of oxygen or its chain is faulty.
- It is faulty any of temperature detectors or their chain
- The engine doesnt get warm to a working temperature.
- The ignition advance system is faulty.
- The flow sensor of air or its chain is faulty.
- The gage of position of a throttle valve or its chain is faulty
- An afterdribble of any spray jet (more often spray jets cold start-up if it is).
- The air filter is choked up.
- A weak spark.
- The forced aspiration system is faulty.
- Labels of a drive gear of a gas distribution are incorrectly established.
- The pressure monitoring system in inlet a collector is faulty
- Wrong pressure of gasoline.
- Valve clearances arent adjusted.
- Bad free to slide (for example because of the lowered wheels).
- The hydraulic clutch (at cars with "automatic machine") is faulty.
- Automatic transmission misoperation.
- Nespraven the leading bridge.


The failures causing the over-expenditure of fuel at diesel cars.
- Engine power is lowered.
- Spray jets are faulty.
- A lack of air submitted to an intake manifold.
- A wrong advancing of injection.
- The engine doesnt get warm to a working temperature.
- Misoperation of systems of drop of toxicity.


Remember - in time service, repair and car resetting, observance of service regulations will relieve you of problems with over-expenditure fuel and economy of money.
