    S3 4WD Fault, Haldex or MAF?

    I had the same symptom, light comes on after moving the car a few metres, turned out to the Haldex ECU. As soon as I fitted a new one the light didn't come on.

    Seat Seat

    Thanks Robin, it is pretty tidy, a few marks but good condition really. A couple issues I need to sort out (boost valve and Haldex problem) but won't cost me much really. Don't think I've seen your Scirocco around?

    2006 Bose Concert fitted into 2001 S3 - Problems.

    Oh ok thanks, I'll try that, was gonna go down the can-bus simulator route which will cost £50... Also have seen a method of taking the bottom plate off the head unit and soldering a wire to pin 8 on the circuit board...a little nervous about trying that though!

    Seat Seat

    That may be the case, and I know you have tried to help me with an issue a couple weeks ago which I was grateful for tuffty, but I'm pretty sure the issues I've posted about have been experienced by others. Maybe new members should be given more than a 'use the search function' answer as I've...

    There's Audi Forums, Audi World and Audi Owners Club. Not tried them but may be worth a shot.

    I've had no or little replies to various posts I've made for advice. Maybe it's time to try a different forum.

    2006 Bose Concert fitted into 2001 S3 - Problems.

    Since I've had zero replies to this, I've spent a while trying to find out for myself. My car is a 2001 but it does not have Can-Bus (I have both a red and white, and a red and yellow wire coming from the black power ISO). So, how do I get a stereo that came from a Can-Bus equipped car (2006 A4)...

    2006 Bose Concert fitted into 2001 S3 - Problems.

    I've just bought a second hand Audi Concert stereo, which came from a 2006 Audi A4, and have fitted it to my 2001 S3. The main functions all work fine, but the buttons don't light up when the car's lights are on, and the radio station/track number doesn't appear in the instrument cluster...

    Stealth Splitter Valve?

    I've just replaced a Forge Splitter valve that was on my car when I got it, with the correct recirculating one, and immediately the car ran better.

    Help - Stereo wiring problems

    I'm gonna jump in on this thread as Ash seems to know what he's talking about, I've just bought a second hand Audi Concert stereo, which came from a 2006 Audi A4, and have fitted it to my 2001 S3. The main functions all work fine, but the buttons don't light up when the car's lights are on, and...

    Fitted Concert Stereo, but not displaying info in instrument cluster.

    I've just bought an Audi Concert Stereo from ebay, from a 2005 A4. It all works fine, apart from the radio/cd track number isn't appearing in the square display between the rev counter and speedo. It doesn't bother me a huge amount but would like to try and get it right. Suggestions?

    Question on changing from Audi Cassette to Audi CD/Radio headunit in 2001 S3.

    Were the Bose ones called Symphony? Or was the Bose option the amp and sub with whatever head unit the buyer specified?

    Question on changing from Audi Cassette to Audi CD/Radio headunit in 2001 S3.

    Oh I see, thanks for the info. Although I don't have the Bose stuff in the car so think I'm just gonna look for a Concert head unit. A few on ebay.

    Haldex Control Unit probably needed, advice....

    Oooh that must have hurt the wallet! I should have answers by tomorrow evening so I'm intrigued now. But as far as I know the garage I first used only had a generic code read machine for all makes of car.

    Oh yeah, the last S3 I had was remapped there before I owned it.

    Changing from standard Audi Cassette/Radio to Audi CD/Radio (2001 S3)

    Oh I see, thanks for the info Mark. Yeah, some aftermarket stereos may suit some cars but I just think the Audi stuff matches the cars well, anything else would look a bit boy racer. Just my opinion though...

    Haldex Control Unit probably needed, advice....

    Update on the issue, I think tuffty may have been correct, as earlier I tried to launch the car with a lot of revs and dumped the clutch, and it seemed to just grip and go with no wheel spin. Seems my garage has mis-diagnosed the problem. Luckily a friend of mine's business has expanded since I...
