    Disconnecting Bose

    I have all these 7 settings in my Concert HU - Setup - Gala (Off, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and Auto) Though, when I select Auto, the sound experience gets bad, I guess it is due to the fact that auto tries to compensate for the noise inside the car using the available sound from the HU. If you make some...

    Thoughts on Bose?

    I ordered my 2008 2.0 tdi s-line new with Concert 6cd changer and Bose, and at first it sounded great. Somewhere, and at some time, the sound experience was not as good as new anymore; stereo channel separation was suddenly rubbish (tested with radio, CD and external source), humble bass and a...

    TDI Engine gets cold again when idling

    The audi axillary heater is definitely not standard equipment, it did cost 15000 kr when I ordered the car new. Retrofit is around 25000 kr (webasto). I love it as it has 3 timers controllable from the dashboard cluster, and you can also turn it on/off using its own remote control. It can even...

    TDI Engine gets cold again when idling

    Regarding engine temperature I can report the exact same thing happening here in Oslo, I have the same engine as you, and if I'm not using the Auxiliary Heater (audi original dieselheater) my engine never reaches 90 degrees when -20 outside unless traveling on highways. At slower speeds, for...

    1.8T (160) v's 2.0 TDI (143)

    As i drive the older 2.0 tdi (140) today I cannot comment on the newer CR 2.0 tdi, but I guess it's better than the older one. The 1.8T (160) is a wonderful engine, very responsive and rev-happy, at least in an A3 cab, that's where I tested it this summer. And, it also had an impressive sound...

    Retrofitted cupholder

    My guess it's the other way around - The US versions are as yours, all others gets the standard layout with cupholders under the armrest and the power outlets is next to the handbrake, where the US cupholder is. Here's an example...

    Seat wont remember its last position.

    Like others said, if you follow the instruction manual every time you shouldn't have this problem. I thought I had this problem, only to find out I was doing it wrong, the click is the important thing. Otherwise, leave it to Audi to sort it out - this should not be a problem.

    The 09' s3 headlamps on the 09' A3?

    I don't think there is a thing called the "S3 lights". I guess what you want is the Xenon's and the DRL LED's? Xenon plus option should be the logic pick yes, but someone has to confirm.

    Take off the A-pillar.

    Hi, I've wondered about this myself as I suspect my left side tweeter is toast (but only some days...?). From what I can figure out from Elsawin, you (might) need a special tool (removal lever -80-200- ) to help you not damage the first top clip, then when thats done, the next 2 ones should be...

    I'm wondering if it is safe an OBD tuning for my DSG gear box

    I think the 6 speed S-tronic has a factory limit of 350NM. As i have the S-tronic myself I'm not going to risk it :sadlike: A quick search for "dsg 350nm limit" on google gets you lots of info.

    Golf GTI mk5 vs A3 2.0T FSI vs A3 2.0 TDI 170

    IMHO Audi TDI's are not possible to compare with Volvo's D5 - I have driven their XC70 with the D5 engine, and my 2.0 TDI 140 feels like a rocket compared to that Swedish battleship :-) On the other hand, Volvo's 1.6 diesel is a cracking revvy engine, real fun to drive in the Volvo C30. But...

    Car Stolen/ Recovered. Help!

    But what it the dealers then claim "you have trashed it sir" or the gearbox/engine has been treated very bad - we will not cover this without any charge... then you get stuck with the repairbill. You cannot blame it on car thieves. Remember there's a computer inside our cars, and where there is...

    DPF issues following recent service?

    Right, so that's why my 2.0 140 DPF has acted up recently. I have noticed that more than before after the cars first service the engines RPM is keep at a higher level for a shorter period of time. I have the S-tronic so in "D" the engine is adjusting RPM itself, I have never seen the dashbord...

    When hot starting taking 8 sec+

    How's that pressure test of your engine worked out? I'm not saying it's related but it can be - I once a had a lancia delta hf integrale, I blew the head gasket on that engine 3 times. Every single time before it happened I got coolant or/and oilproblems and then problems staring the engine...

    Would i suit an S line A3

    Not quite certain on the model range of A3's in the UK, but over here there are 3 different suspensions to choose from on the A3; Standard, Sport and S-line (plus the new magnetic ride stuff). I tested the Standard vs S-line; the Standard felt like riding a sofa on wheels, S-line suspension it...
