Hi, I hunted around for the exact one that I had, I asked around if they were interchangeable, but nobody seemed to know or confirm so I thought it safest to get the same. As I said finally found one shipped in from Germany. Audi wanted £500+!! Steve.

My experience was similar, the Bose amp on my 04 Tdi 3 dr was hidden away behind the rear offside 1/4 panel above the parcel shelf, not to bad to find if you take it easy. On mine and I believe on many others the rear wash wipe water tube has been brilliantly placed just above the amp, and at...

Hi, I searched high and low for a replacement Bose amp for my 04 2.0 Tdi and came across the same problem, nobody could/would confirm that a similar Bose amp from and A4/A6 with a similar number would be interchangeable. I rang Audi and spoke with an 'expert', he stated that you had to have the...

Guys, I have a 2004 (54) plate A3 3 door 2.0Tdi which has a Bose Audi Concert (II) head unit which has the dodgy volume control problem. I have researched and researched again and again and there does not seem to be a definitive happy ending to the problem, if I buy a second hand Concert II off...

Mine suffers from this, took a look at the seal that goes right around the door itself and it looks split, its not the window on mine, definitely the door seal where it cushions against the door frame!!

Jon, Thanks, Managed to source one through a breakers and hopefully it should be here tomorrow. Steve

Mike, Cheers for all your help, rang Audi to confirm any flexibility in which amp will fit my car but the only one that is compatible is the 8P3 035 223 or the 8p3 035 223A so searching the country and breakers yards and Ebay for one, but seems to be a bit of a shortage in the country at the...

Mike, taking liberties here but are you able to check ETKA again and see if8E5 035 223C is compatible with my car, for me, this one is on ebay, looks very similar and seller states it fits A3/A4 and A6, thanks again, Steve

Mike, Roof panel off today after bravely forcing the clips from the panel and traced the washer pipe immediately and as you said it had become disconnected, cleaned up and forced it back in finished with a tie wrap, happy days on that front, cant believe the designer had the great idea of...

Cheers Mike, Surprisingly the rear washer works, it looks like the 'drip' has been dripping for some time, I have only just got the car and the damage to the amp and connector has obviously been going on for some time and finally caused the damage to the amp. The area around the amp was...

The item I mentioned which has got flooded IS the Bose amp situated behind the panel on the drivers side rear panel by the parcel shelf, or put another way inside the car roughly adjacent to the petrol flap on the outside of my 3dr A3, I had to remove the offside panel in the boot to trace it...

Hello, Just noticed this post and looks like I have been the subject of a similar problem on my 54 A3, the amp just stopped and after ferreting around the rear drivers quarter found the amp had been soaked and the amp was beyond repair, the whole area around was damp. Interested to see if you...

Finally got at the amp and it appears that water has somehow got into the amp via the power lead into it, but cant work out how? Rear door hinge gaskets look ok, under the wheel arch looks free of holes. The wet area appears very localised to around the area of the rear seat belt mechanism and...

Your right, typo error it is an S3, I can live with the volume button problem, but I do need to sort out the Bose amp problem, all I need to know is is the Amp repairable or is it a new/second hand one?

Guys/Gals, A quick intro having just ventured into Audi ownership after years of Vauxhalls. I am based in North Wales and have this week bought a 2004 S3 3 door 2.0 Tdi, 8P I believe? I bought the car for the umph it gives and the fuel economy, and so far am very impressed with both. My first...
