    That maybe so, but its not going to transform the unit to suddenly start playing mp3 usb sticks or have DAB. And I cenrtaily do not want to start bluetoothing stuff from my phone/other device....Not that this has bluetooth nether.

    Stereo upgrade plan/advice for Audi S3 8L 2002 BAM

    OK, so that's interesting with your replacement door speaker setup and amp to power them. So you have basically 50W per channel on each of your speakers with the rears able to take much more 220W, but feeding in only 50W. By chance did you have a bose setup in your car to begin with and did you...

    New A3 Air vents surrounds?

    Just got to try and replace one of my air vent from one I purchased from Ebay. Simple enough I thought, remove the old one unplug and replace with the other. Boy was I wrong as you try and pull out the old one your restricted as the wire does not seem long enough to make this job a simple one...

    New A3 Air vents surrounds?

    I know this is quite an old post I have come across whilst searching for "replacing side vents". Surely the TT vents are all circular, certainly not the same as the S3 8L, so not sure what they are on about in the original post. Anyone know? Plus I am guesing they simply pop out with a...

    goodwood green s3...probably my most favourite colour on the S3 ever since my first encounter with one. Apparently not a popular one by all accounts, but come sale time for one of those it would ceertainly poke my interest

    Reborn s3

    Wel it takes a brave man WITH MONEY & compentancy in most garage activities to rebuild that as no doubt this will end up costing a lot of time, effort & money.

    Snow Foam question....

    I was looking at purchasing and trying the Turtle Wax snow foam (shampoo). From reading its description & video it looks like you can spray it and give it the 10 minutes for the foam to work and then additionally go over it with a mitten before hosing down . Does that sounds right to you all...

    Newbie question on wash foam...

    fairly simple question, but if i used the Meguiars - hyper wash (or similar) , followed by a jet wash of pure clear water would I still need to use a sponge/bucket to go over the car? Sorry, just read previous posts and got my answer! Really?....surely simply jet spray the car once, give it a...

    Haldex system confusion

    Yep, the haldex is well known and documented problem on our cars. I am not surprised you happen to to get a 2nd hand one also with the same issue.
