i just recently bought a 3.2 quattro mk2 with same radio as you with bose amp and my passenger front speaker crackles with or without music playing. Noticed the side panel in boot wasnt clipped back in place properly and believe water from the boot lid and rain has gotten inside to the amp and damaged it. I hope i can get it replaced under the warranty with rac along with the warped brakes and steering knock :(
Thanks for posting Andrew - has your repair continued to work ok? I just had mine repaired (probably the same team you used!). Just wondering if it's worth trying keep water and salt off the amp somehow (will discuss with Audi). Cheers, Mark
Hi Mark, yes the repair is still holding up well, I haven't had to add any additional protection to the amp, but I think it may be a good idea.. I have seen some threads regarding this on the TTForum.
My son's Mazda 6 has a Bose system that failed. When I started looking deeper, I saw "Made in USA" - well there's the problem right there; no wonder they drop their cookies within a year or two of manufacture :-X
Was this the Bose set up? My head unit works but with only the centre dash speaker, all other 7 speakers don't appear to be working and also thinking it's the amp.???
@@andrewkitchen2723 Mines has been like that since I got the car, the sound is shit. Did your sound Come at go at time's as well? So sound better on some day's?
@@rossmurray3168 mine was just muffled sound from the rear speakers like they were under water almost kind of sound but the fronts were OK.. I took the amp out of the boot well area and posted it off to bose repair experts they are called in Scotland.. was about £180 for the repair and returned via special delivery ..put in back in the car and the sound was perfect.. all the base returned and have never had a problem since give them a try mate 👍
@@rossmurray3168 no worries mate, once you get it fixed it will be like night and day in terms of how much better is sounds... Best money I have spent to date on the car getting the amp sorted 👌 👍
Yes you can change the stereo head unit and full set up if you want, but changing the head unit will not fix the problem with the Bose amp located in the boot well of the car.

Solved the problem... it was the amp.. sent it for repair and all is good now 😁
Hi andrew kitchen. Repair the amp or setting the amp. Mine back speaker sound zzzzzzzz... n bass /woofer not sound clearly.
Repair is like what £120-£180? it's a 360 watt amp. Much better off getting a brand new much better one for like £70
Did you use the repair centre in Edinburgh? I'm looking to get mine repaired as only my tweeters work 😂
How is the sound now it's repaired?
@@yusmizanmdyusof4551 repaired the amp and all is well now .. Still working perfectly today 👌
@@liketrumpets07 hi James, yes thats the place and it is still working great today ... sounds spot on

Can you not just change the stereo
