    Replaced head unit - Arial issue / Blown front Bose door speaker to replace (best way and part no?)

    Thanks for the reply :-) I don't have a vcds unfortunately :-( I thought it could be something like that. A power issue with the cables or the device itself you think? There's sometimes like a pop noise to when you first power it on and turn it off. I've been testing it leaving the face plate...

    Some more weirdness now. Units been fine but got in the car yesterday and it wouldn't power up? Checked the fuses under the steering wheel and they were fine. Tried it again after taking these out and it came back to life. Great I thought. Get in the car this morning though and it's dead again?

    Wrapped 'B' pillar

    Nice! Like the interior to. Considering doing something like this with mine as my rear door triangle is gone in a corner and this will be easier and cheaper to do than replacing it all. Can I ask where you got the film from please?

    Replaced head unit - Arial issue / Blown front Bose door speaker to replace (best way and part no?)

    So since getting the car one of the main things I wanted to sort was to swap out the Sympany unit with something I could bluetooth my music to and have Android Auto/Apple Car Play integration (I'm Android and the wifes Apple) So I found an ex-display Pioneer AVH-X8700BT for a good price...

    Is it possible to change the rear door triangles?

    One of mines gone bobbly to and has been to big of a faff to get round to sorting. Did think of trying to wrap them as could be alot quicker and easier. Just don't know if the bobbling would still show through unless I ground it down a bit?

    Hopefully I'll be OK as the previous owner before me had full audi service history and I just fall under the 8 years. Currently chasing them. Like trying to track down the scarlet pimpernel though to speak to them!

    2010 1.8TFSI Oil Consumption Test Failure, waiting on AUDI UK response

    Hi Not long after getting the car I had to report the high level of oil my car was getting through. After various tests Audi have confirmed its failed and have referred it to Audi UK to make a decision on the next cause of action etc. After doing some research I found that this has been a known...

    From reading on here you can retrofit cruise control relatively cheaply. Auto lights not so much and doesn't seem worth the cost and hassle to me. It's not the end of the world. Just have to remember to do it again now!

    Tea leaves robbed my cars

    Sorry to hear all the hassle you've had to go to. Insurance companies are almost a bigger crooks as the thieves themselves!

    Looks great :) I made this mistake though and wasn't until the day I came to collect and pay the balance for it I asked about the auto lights/wipers as like you I assumed my 2010 car would have them considering my 2003 206 gti did! But I'd already decided I wanted the car anyway but it is...
