    Question around A3 door card compatibility for 8V

    Thanks Gordon. I was hoping just the door handle part could be replaced rather than the whole door card. I wasnt sure if it can be broken down into smaller sections - it would be great to hear anyones experience with doing this. My car is going into a body shop in the next couple of weeks with...

    Question around A3 door card compatibility for 8V

    Hi all I recently damaged the interior door card of my A3. It has caused a tear which I tried to glue back but it hasn't helped much. I have realised you can buy a replacement door card for around £30-80 on eBay but just have some questions around compatibility. I've attached a photo with a red...

    If I do figure it out I'll be sure to come back and update you - but if I am to figure it out the chances are it will be from someone else on this forum telling me how :witless:

    Upgrade from Audi soundsystem?

    Update: I fitted the Audi OEM sub and its made everything sound much much better than it did before. I dont have the seperate sub control on the MMI so don't know what difference it would make, but just adding the sub has made the soundsystem sound 100 x better. I actually shouldn't have...

    Upgrade from Audi soundsystem?

    Thanks for the info. I've asked the dealer about this where I bought the car and they acknowledged that the subwoofer if missing and they will sort it out...

    Upgrade from Audi soundsystem?

    Ok I've ordered it so will find out next week if it works..!!!! Was £65 so not super expensive if it might make my sound system more balanced without forking out for a full upgrade... I have only got controls for left/right front/back as far as I have seen. I'll do some more looking though...

    Upgrade from Audi soundsystem?

    Me again...! Question for anyone with the Audi soundsystem inc subwoofer in their boot/spare wheel. Although I don't have the sub where the spare wheel is, I do have what looks like the cable with the same connector which seems to correspond to the OEM sub. My car boot: Looks like this...

    Upgrade from Audi soundsystem?

    Its definitely something I'll think more about. I do like the idea of having a sub inside the spare wheel. Either the OEM Audi sub or Pioneer - TS-WX610A / JBL BassPro Hub which seem to have pretty good reviews. I'm not sure if having an actual sub box in my boot would be necessary - although...

    Upgrade from Audi soundsystem?

    I'm going to try and find out more about what I have fitted on my car. As I thought the black edition does come with the 'Audi Sound System' https://ibb.co/Z633r5x https://ibb.co/9m0tWqT My spec sheet says 'Audi Sound System with 10 speakers' but it doesn't specify what speakers they are or if...

    Upgrade from Audi soundsystem?

    On the subject of speaker upgrades - does anyone bother with the rear 2 x speakers with upgrades? I went to an car audio shop and they basically said that they're not worth upgrading. Given that my system sounds pretty disappointing I seemed to make an improvement to the sound quality by...

    Upgrade from Audi soundsystem?

    Oh right sweet that sounds good. I'm actually in South Yorkshire (Barnsley) at the moment but am often in and around Leeds / Harrogate so would be up for checking it out. So do you have the OEM audi sound system / sub?

    Upgrade from Audi soundsystem?

    I'm not sure on budget yet - I can appreciate it might not be cheap if theres a lot of parts to fit etc. I am not sure if I can achieve what I want by connecting an active sub. I dont want a sub box in the boot though taking up space - i might prefer the idea of utilising the space inside the...

    Upgrade from Audi soundsystem?

    My understanding would be with a Black Edition I'd have an Audi Sound System unless I upgraded to the comfort and sound pack where I'd get a B&O sound system

    Upgrade from Audi soundsystem?

    This is weird as it seems I already have a working center speaker. I'll take another look at the spare wheel in the boot - I'm pretty sure theres not a sub in there, and if there is I cant hear it... I'm just not that impressed with the overall quality of the sound system. I've got a Sonos sound...

    Upgrade from Audi soundsystem?

    I thought that the S-line Black edition included the Audi Sound System as one of the extras vs the regular S-line

    Upgrade from Audi soundsystem?

    Hi everyone I've recently bought a 2018 A3 Sportback s-line black edition. I made the mistake of not testing the sound system before buying the car - I wrongly assumed it included a sub. Slo I'm quite disappointed with the overall depth / sound quality in my car so think it would be worth...

    Newbie :)

    I called up a local garage about a 2003 A3 FSI 2.0 I was interested in buying which had clocked up 39,000 miles. When asked if at any point the cambelt had been changed I was told that it didnt need to be changed until the car had done 80,000 miles. That is fair enough, but I told the guy that I...

    Looking to buy an A3

    I think I would want something pretty immaculate for £7500. I will keep a look out for good deals. I cant believe you paid £3750.. it wasnt stolen was it? :happy: If I buy private then I would expect to see something a lot cheaper, but I wouldnt have expected to see something that cheap. But I...
