Audi A3 Auto Hold Retrofit Corrected in Shrewsbury for Enhanced Driving
James made the trip from Shrewsbury for an Audi A3 Auto Hold retrofit Shrewsbury — but let’s just say we hit a bit of a speed bump at the start 🤦♂️. We’d accidentally ordered the parts for a left-hand drive model, which, as you can imagine, wasn’t much use here in the UK. Thankfully, we caught the mistake early, sourced the correct parts the very next day, and got everything fitted up just as James expected—no further delays.
Ever turn up for a job expecting everything to go smoothly… and then realise your parts are for the wrong side of the car? Yep—that was us. James had booked in for a genuine Audi A3 Auto Hold retrofit Shrewsbury, but we’d been sent LHD components. Not ideal. That said, it’s how you recover that counts: within 24 hours, we had the correct setup delivered and professionally installed. Smooth sailing from there.
What Went Into the Retrofit
Auto Hold is one of those features you’ll wonder how you ever lived without. It keeps your car stationary when you stop—no need to keep your foot on the brake pedal. It’s especially handy in stop-start traffic, on steep hills, or for smooth getaways at junctions. For James’ Audi A3, this meant integrating a factory Auto Hold module, updated ABS controller, wiring loom, and new switchgear into the centre console.
Quick Fix, Full Functionality
Once we had the correct RHD-specific parts, the installation went exactly to plan. After fitting, we coded everything using ODIS and VCDS to ensure full factory-level integration. No warning lights. No glitches. Just a clean, OEM-style finish and a new brake assist feature that works exactly as it would from the factory.
One Last Bit on the Way
There’s just one small component still on backorder—a trim piece that finishes the centre console switch panel. But no problem there: as soon as it arrives, we’ll be shipping it straight to James’ door so he can clip it in and call the job 100% complete. No need to return to the workshop.
Why Auto Hold Is Worth It
Aside from the obvious driving comfort and convenience, Auto Hold is a big win for safety. It prevents unintentional rollbacks on hills, keeps the car steady in stop-and-go traffic, and reduces driver fatigue on longer journeys. If you’ve ever had your foot slip at a red light, you’ll appreciate the peace of mind this retrofit brings.
