Newbie with Audio issues 2001 1.8T Standard Concert Headunit

Hi,

I've just bought a lovely A3 which has unfortunately had a few issues and has gone back to the (non Audi) dealer where I bought her. They are sorting the mechanical side out but there is an annoying issue with the stereo...

When I first test drove, the stereo an Audi Concert, was dead. They claim a fuse change sorted this, but I've only got front channel speakers working. There is what looks like a plastic sub in the boot on the passenger side. The dealership claims there are only 2 wires from the head unit and therefore the stereo is only 2 channel. I can't see how a top of the range 5 door Audi would only have 2 speakers!!

Please can you suggest what might be wrong, as currently the car is with the dealer and I want them to get the thing working before I collect her...

Thanks in advance!!

Ben

Hi!

Thanks for the replies!

I got the dealership to follow your advice, all the connections were solid but they have found the sub/amp in the boot, which they were not aware existed! Anyway, they then said that the sub/amp smelled burnt, and have kindly offered to replace it for me. The funny this was, I was all ready to take the car away when I realised the stereo was the least of my worries... No speedo!

So I am still driving the hire car, a Subaru Legacy estate... I cant fault the dealer on service, even if thier techs lack a bit of initiative! Tileys of Bristol, excellent place to buy a car!

The issues are more annoying than scary. Speedo was fine, then they fixed an issue with the dash lighting but then seemingly forgot to reconnect the speedo!!
