Mine 100% looks like the BOSE sub. Definately twin speakered and black.
So, if that's the case.. Would this be my harness? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Audi-A2-A3-A4-A6-A8-TT-Amplified-Wiring-Harness-ISO-Lead-PC9-401-Bose-Symphony-/250650403794?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3a5beda3d2
So...
Quite a cool read, and good reading you starting with little knowledge. Then, as the thread goes on you can see you've learnt alot more just by the way you describe things.
Keep up the good work mate!
Ok,
So i have an X-Reg S3.
I have a Audi Concert CD/tape deck, the sub woofer in the boot etc.
Audi have told me it left the factory with FULLY AMPLIFIED BOSE. However, i have absolutely no BOSE branding on speaker or anywhere... So im leading to think they're talking nonsense?
Im trying...
Iv been watching it lately. As long as im in the car for 10+ minutes it will begin to rise, once at 90'c it sits there until i turn the engine off.
Returning to the warm S3 will allow the temperature gauage to work immediately again.
So i THINK i have narrowed it down to cold start, generally...
South Coast. Lovely and warm at the minute.
Its definately a gauge/sensor/wiring issue.
Second sensor and same results. Will be flushing coolant + changing stat as soon as i get a few hours this weekend hopefully.
Temperature cold start. Won't move, roughly 5/10 mins or 3-4 miles later it'll start moving up.
Will get to 90'c slowly and sit there quite happily for the rest of the time I'm driving. The odd occasion it'll lower below 90 slightly. Which I presume is the stat opening/closing.
Is there a...
Gave them a buzz.
They'll fully rebuild mine for £159.99. Which is good for me as the rev gauge is very laggy! So must need it!
Definately will be worth doing next month i think.
Ah, i see! Well. i'll pick-up a standard re-circ valve as soon as possible.
I serviced the whole car this weekend.
Engine Oil
Oil Filter
New Dipstick tube
New Temperature sensor
Car feels better for it, engine is even quieter than before. Puurs lovely!
Still having an issue with the...
Oh and welcome to the family :)
Ok, didn't know that. They're definitely separate as you mentioned. I'll have a longer gander at eBay over the weekend, to find some. Im not overly bothered at the minute as money is abit tight until payday. But, if a bargain crops up, who can say no?
Do you...
Thanks, i hope so too. Just want it to remain reliable, as these can be a massive pitta for throwing away money.
Any ideas on where to get replacement wings?!
Hello!
Bought myself my first Audi chassis last weekend.
An Audi S3 - Imola yellow (I believe that's the code)
Mileage - 159k (Allegedly on a lower mile APY engine, however nothing in the logbook/history to prove this)
I paid £1000 for her, which in my eyes was a good steal. Needs TLC on a...
Thanks guys, Euro had none in stock. Ordered a cheapy ebay special. Will have a go with that, if it doesnt work ill get another from Eurocarparts.
Thanks for the help! :)
Okay, I'll go to EuroCarParts today, I'll pay a little more but atleast I know it'll be OEM quality.
Is there a fitting guide anywhere for it? Don't wanna get it wrong!
So my S3's temperature gauge is extremely temperamental. 90% of the time it doesn't function, maybe after 30 mins of driving it'll kick into life.
I checked the sensor and it's green, so given mine is an APY engine it's had a new one. But, can I presume this isn't functioning?
EuroCarParts...
Picked up my S3 last night on the cheap.
It needs TLC galore.
One thing Iv noticed this morning, the temperature gauge is reluctant to work, and the fuel gauge seems stuck on just over a quarter tank.
Iv been driving around most the morning and the fuel gauge hasn't makes. I only threw £20 in...
It's an x reg. AMK engine? I used to be heavily into my vw's.
It definitely needs a full service. I would do this upon buying.
Something else to note. It currently doesn't start. We bumped it to get me a test drive. He's checked fuses, replaced the ignition, and the last thing he's doing...
