I'm afraid not , you would need to swap the gearbox for the DSG (if available, I dont think there is a DSG option) version and retro all the associated electronics.

Its an old mobile phone base , probably not at all useful , certainly wont work with a modern iphone/Android device.

You need an adapter , depending on what OEM head unit you have but will be similar to this https://www.dynamicsounds.co.uk/connects2-ct53-au03-audi-a2-a3-a4-tt-active-system-interface-amplified-adaptor-lead.html

Replace the wings - I have exactly the same issue , as has been said its a common thing. Both doors are shot as well - only option is to replace them. As an indicator to replace both front wings and colour match approx £500, Buy the doors only after viewing them but allow around £80 for a (good) door.

For me its just a tool , Audi is nothing special its just a car like any other.

What engine code and manual or DSG style gearbox ??, The transfer cases are different between gearbox type's and year model (apparently).

Whats the code its throwing up ?

Oil loss, coolant loss - that sounds like a head gasket to me. Do a quick check (if safe to do so) with the engine idling but not hot take the cap off the coolant bottle 1. check for bubbles 2. have a sniff. Also with engine switched off remove oil filler cap and check for white sludge on the cap and around the neck.

HID's are not legal in the UK (as a retrofit) unless you have self levelling headlights and headlight washers, and yes I know a few places that will turn a blind eye at testing time but I have also seen far too many installations that are not only wrong but also !Removed! dangerous and a hazard to other motorists. I have 2 sets of HID's and 1 of LED's but have taken them all out and gone back to halogen bulbs , I just drive a bit slower now.

So the bit I'm confused about is in the picture it shows phono style speaker connectors where as most cars use an iso adapter , unless there are speaker connections in what the call the power plug. Who makes the unit ?

So do you have a Bose system ?

The H7 is the correct fitment however the mass of the heatsink/driver unit wont allow the dust covers back on and I believe as they are a fitting that doesn't have a clip to secure it they will fall out due to vibration and weight. But the big issue is CANBUS , unless they are CANBUS compatible they may fail to light up and throw bulb out warnings, it maybe able to get CANBUS interfaces but you would need to check legality and comptibility.

Your'e looking at gearbox out time I'm afraid. It could be many thinkgs but the next most obvious is going to be clutch pressure plate/thrust bearing, after that its going to be bent or broken selector forks in the gearbox .

I would say not but jump onto some where like eurocarparts put your reg details in and see what it comes up with. There looks to be quite a range of fitting styles between models and engine types

I average around 1200 miles per month and use Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 , as the 3.2 Quattro is a heavy beast I wasn't expecting too much from them but i've been very pleasantly surprised. They are on the sporty side of a tyre choice but do very well in the wet, not too much road noise, braking performance is good and they are excellent in the dry.

You need an adaptor between the after market unit and your bose speakers. Something like this https://www.dynamicsounds.co.uk/autoleads-pc9-404-audi-a3-a4-a6-a8-tt-wiring-harness-adaptor-iso-lead.html

Sounds like they are no true canbus , there's not enough resistance to tell the lighting module that there are bulbs installed. You might be better off getting LED modules.

Just to throw my 2 pennies worth in (and add to the confusion maybe) I had both camshaft sensor and lambda sensor issue's as well as the lumpy idle, changing the camshaft sensors (2 in my case) did not fix the problem, however changing the lambda sensor cured all 3 issues - I understand that a lambda sensor isnt cheap (please do not get a pattern part go for a known brand) but it might just be worth it. I think I'm right in saying that the 8L and the 8P arn't true canbus but use a derivative called serial canbus so that if one thing fails those behind it will also show as failed. Check your earths very carefully as by now there maybe some corrosion around the earthing points this corrosion will increase not only resistance but heat and this can cause random issues. If you keep losing a plug to oiling the coil pack could be faulty , what sort of coil packs do you have ?

Have a look here, give them a call but its not a cheap fix - unfortunately http://www.sinspeed.co.uk/multitronic-dsg-cvt-transmission-controller-tcm-tcu-repairs/

Yup its bumper off time.

I had to supply a separate power feed to mine, I have an A3 (3 door 2004 - single DIN with BOSE speakers in the doors). I spoke to dynamic Sounds who told me I needed the below kit. Audi A3 (2002 - 2006) Full Bose Amplified Single Din Car CD Stereo Fascia Fitting Kit FKIT-AUDI-16 It didn't work out of the box, on speaking to them I had to supply a separate power feed to get it working. I may have some photo's if that helps ?.

What tyres have you got fitted and do you know how old they are ?

I had this problem or similar to it, car locks on key fob but wont unlock. Its definately the battery in the fob. It seems that the fob needs a decent battery (Duracell or Varta have always been good choices. As for the key not fitting, there's a little shutter that covers the key opening slot , squirt of wd40 and a small screw driver to prise it open soon fixed that.

From what I recall you need to remove the tray under the climate control unit , then trim the sides of the climate control unit so it will fit into the space left by the tray, then you can fit the double din cage and relevant mounting kit.
