Hi everyone,
first post here having just picked up an '98 A3 1.8T yesterday and couldn't find the answer to any of these problems in other threads, so any idea of solutions and indication of rough costs to repair would be great.
1 - Standard Concert stereo has a problem with the volume control. Keeps going to MAX volume every time I try and change it, turn the knob only two or three steps to turn the volume down and it suddenly deafens me and is completely temperamental. Any ideas if this is common/fixable apart from replacing the whole head unit?
2 - Climate control doesn't work every time and when it does it sounds like it's struggling and not really blowing out anything. Guy I bought it off said that the MOT mechanic thought it could be simply a motor change needed, but anyone got an idea how much that costs?
3 - Computer display on dashboard (between revs and speedo) is only half working. Is this an easily fixable problem or is the LED part of it probably screwed permanently?
Thanks for any replies! :biggthump
