When my key began to play up recently, sometimes failed to open/close the door I simply replaced the battery and it worked perfectly after that - without doing nothing else.

So for an update on what happenned next. please check my post in the I.C.E /Sat-Nav / In-Car Entertainment forum.

Just an update. Replaced the standard HU for the Pioneer DEH-S720DAB. Installed a very old Kenwood amp (15+ years old) that I had and an 8" sub tube - again that I already had. A heads up to Dynamic Sounds in Wandsworth who fitted it all for me and did a good job. The last time I used them was...

Thanks for that advice. You must be one of very few who has come accross this issue as no one else has mentioned any messiang around with a newly purchased one for it to fit. I dont have a vice or know anyone that can do this. Having called Audi parts apparently the item would have cost £39.60...

Looking at the pdf document , its not clear whether the rear ones are 470 or 500M, but you can clearly see upon close inspection the ball stud fitment on the 2 ends. The strut holes on either end would not be facing the say way in order to fit. Not sure how accurate the picture is, but it looks...

So found on ebay someone selling '8D9827552F'. Asked if he could send me a picture so i could see how the holes were facing at both ends and guess what? His ones look different to the otrher ones i had purchased also stated as being compatibles. These ones had the holes at both ends facing the...

you mean the bonnet and the rear bootlid ones are all the same?

Reserecing a bit of an old thread here, but I just purchased a a pair of new stabilus rear springs from Ebay (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/315281553267). The description fitted the bill, what I thought perfectly. Gone to fit today, every proportion of the length matches my original one BUT when...

I guess whether i get a mobile fitter to come out and upgrade my HU unit/speakers/amps or goto a store , costs will be very similar. Anyone have any recommendations for Surrey area (reigate/redhill/horley/crawley)? preferable one who knows there way around the car. I am looking at raising the...

Is it easy/straighforward to replace the head unit only with one of these blaupunkt ones? or will i need adpators and a bit of rewiring?

so you got me re-thinking.

For some reason I didnt think they still made Blaupunkt stereos anymore! is there a reason for this brand? There seems to be something for any budget range

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.

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...

I have the original HU (with old fashioned cassette!) , with Bose Speakers, a 6 cd multichanger and bose Sub hidden in the usual back quarter panel. I am after a good quality head unit replacement with my 2 simple requirements: play music from a USB and have DAB radio (dont care about bluetooth...

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...

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

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. I presume you are planning on keeping it for a very long time once complete. Me seeing that stood in a bush for 5/6 years unloved and...

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...
