    1.9TDI PD Actuator Noise

    I've just sold my A3 to my brother, but it's got a quirky noise that I want to make sure is not a major fault. When you let off the accelerator when there's peak boost there is a high pitched 'coooo' noise, as well as the high pressure air release noise. It sounds ridiculous but the car has...

    BOSE with Parrot Integration - A3 8P

    Dudes, Just sold my A3 to my brother, I've put the factory BOSE junk back in, which he's actually relatively happy with. He's got a Parrot CK3100 and wants that fitting, is there any issues fitting this to a BOSE system? Or because all the amplification happens in the boot, should it just be...

    A3 8P with Bose (Downgrade!) Best place for Headunit earth

    Getting a horrible amount of interferance from my aftermarket HU when the lights/indicators are on. This gradually increases with the revs of the engine. I've read that it's best to change the OE earth for a better location. The 8L being behind the glovebox. Does the same tactic work for the...

    Aftermarket Sub

    So i've got rid of the useless Bose sub, and upgraded with a rather lovely JL Audio W3. I bought this through the internet recently and the item was new. I've wired in an Apline amp, and obviously the whole lot is running through an aftermarket (Pioneer) headunit. Now the issues, i'm getting...
