Hi All, have gone back to the OEM stereo with my 2005 A3. Looking for a suitable iphone connector. i used to have a Dension Ice Link plus which worked great (through dock) but didn't charge. Also, when a call came in everything g went silent. can anyone recommend a connector that would do...

Sorry John, thought it was a cd model. Asked the missus there and she would prefer being able to swap kids CDs etc on the hop without going into boot! out of interest, is your A3 an 8L or 8P? I would have had to have checked if the radios were interchangeable. If you look into that JVC...

Hi Taff. I swapped per my Audi concert for a JVC KDR-821BT. you can customize the colours to match the interior red glow. bluetooth adaptor, ipod connector. Bought fascia plates and adaptors to connect to the audi system. since we had a new kid the missus is in my a3 and can't handle the...

I'll buy the single din concert unit off you if you're looking rid! (provided you have code!)

Cheers Mike! £950 from Audi? Sod that! I see new Sanden OEM ones for £385 online - even that's too steep. I might take my chances with a used one first - spy a decent one on e Bay for £75. You reckon the suffix don't matter then? Thanks again for the help bud - you're a star:salute:

As above - Air Con Compressor has finally given up. I *think* the part number is 1K0820803 but dunno if the suffix is S or Q or whatever. I'm looking to source a used/recon unit so would appreciate it of anyone could say what part nos would work with my car - a 2005 Sportback, 1.9tdi, climate...

Thanks Nige / Mike / Jimpa - yeah - decided to go for the genuine ones. Managed to get the Pulley / Belt and a spacer (apparently recommended) through a friend working at a VAG Trade specialist for £69 all in - all OEM genuine VW/Audi Parts. Hopefully that'll sort things!

Jimpa/Mike - thanks a lot for the help. Does it matter if I go OEM or not? I found this on ebay that says would suit my car: eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace Does this look like a go? Otherwise i'll just go to the Audi Parts dealer nearest to me. PS - 028903119AM / 028903119C - Why do...

Folks - I have a 2005 Sportback, 1.9tdi, BKC engine. I need a part no for an "alternator pulley" (dunno what this is, apparently seized up) and also a new belt (is this the poly v belt?) Approx prices too if available? Cheers!

Cheers - that answers my question! Now just off to code it up....

Hi folks In the process of changing my A3 2005 Concert II HU over for an aftermarket model. I have someone that wants to get their hands on it. Question is, are all models compatible with BOSE? I know that it will probably require VCDS, but are all Concert IIs BOSE compatible if a certain...

Would be a good idea. Check all grounds etc too. PM me if you want a few pics emailed detailing location - ill try to get them off elsawin. You will, however (IIRC) remove the oil filter housing. Even then it is a disaster to get it out!

I'm unsure of the 2.0tdi, but on the 1.9 it was a bugg er to get at. It's away in, next to flywheel. Even getting it out was a problem due to the way it was angled. What VCDS code are you getting? Symptoms?

Legend!

Update on this: Mike, cheers - that was indeed the part number, got the G28. After getting it, and with the car nigh on impossible to start, it threw a 16706 No Signal code. This was accompanied by serious power loss and revving. My brother in law went to fit it this weekend, thought it...
