    Q5 Bang and Olufsen retrofit

    What is involved in retro fitting the B&O sound sytem, are the speakers different or is it just the amp and subwoofer? i really hope there isnt wiring changes as i dont fancy stripping the car. i really hope its just plug and play lol. Thanks

Ive checked the bonnet catch and appears to be fine, had the switch out and is working as it should and the car is seeing the bonnet open in the instrument cluster. I unplugged the bonnet...

    A3 2.0tdi 140 glowplug flashing and limp mode.

    I ended up just just mapping the EGR and DPF out and getting it gutted, was costing around the same and i wasn't paying all that money for it to do the same thing in a year or two. Cost me £450 in the end.

I went onto euro car parts to price one and it came up with 3 types. The long style one ive looked seems to be down the...
