In Europe vag get away with everything compared to the US.

It could be an issue with the hose itself letting additional air in where it joins. Under load the additional air could be being drawn through due to the pipe not being as tight due to age.

Think it will need coding I'd using the amp. The speakers should be just plug and play in theory

You could, contact an auto electrican to try and code it out.

Thanks for sharing this walkthrough 🙂

Wowzers. Sorry to hear of this situation. Glad Audi are fitting the highest bill. They should be covering that other bill too

Have you done a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up? Might be easier to source a second hand unit.

I'd definitely recommend changing the switch.

I'd speak to an auto electrican or Audi independent garage.

Great walkthrough so far 👍

I'd recommend looking on eBay including international sellers

Could always remove the central silencer and welding in a straight pipe.

I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. Could be an issue with the driver's door module

Glad you got sorted. That makes sense, you get the same when the car goes on a rolling road

Is it to do with the mechanism that controls the the window going up/down when opening/closing the door?

Definitely sounds like an abs sensor or wiring. I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up

I think dealer would say no, but I'd recommend you speak to autologics or Audi retrofits as members have used them for retrofits and been happy with the results

I'd say it wouldn't be worth the extra in my opinion. Let's be honest you could buy a cheap one, loose it or similar and replace it with the same one cheaper than an Audi one.

It might do but it might be better to get the noise checked by a garage.

Easiest option is to just replace it with stock. I know with the Bose system once it's messed about with the amp can decide not to allow speakers to work etc. Not sure if the b&o system is the same

No the motor shouldn't need coding I think.

Sounds like a good plan 🙂 glad it's mechanically sound. Definitely worth doing work on in my opinion
