Audi A4 2.0 Multitronic (2001)

Shez1878 · 01-06-2006, 04:08 AM

Further to my mission to make my Audi A4 look brand new, can anyone advise on the following?

1. Need to replace aluminium cover that surrounds gear stick. Audi dealer is quoting £100 just to supply it. Any other options?

2. The console on the driver side that houses the electric mirror/windows switches all need replacing - anyone know any reliable Audi breakers?

3. I have just replaced my Audi Bose Concert Stereo because the one it came with was scratched .... the new one is the wrong colour! Its off-black as opposed to actual black ... which is what I need! Anyone want to swap? Or for sale is a Bose Concert Stereo in genuine black but with scratched buttons - name your price!

Thank you all !

Thanks for the reply. All the buttons have been scratched and damaged by previous owner. She also damaged the stereo, aluminium cover, and scratched the surface of the auto-gear stick which I also need to replace!

on the radio,,,, have all the buttoms gone white due to wear and tear??

About 4 of the buttons have yes. I have to say, having been a BMW owner for a short while, I was stunned at the 'quality' of the Audi interior. Only 29,000 on the clock .... 4 years old .... and buttons disappearing on the stereo and door panels for the mirrors/windows!

mine have done that... you cant buy spares either.... im after a radio which has broke internally for a small fee and then i may try and replace the buttons after butchering the old one!!

I saw one on eBay not long ago but can you really take the buttons off and stick them on another one without it looking dodgy?

**RickT** · 01-06-2006, 10:31 AM

yeah you can do.. you need to open it up and all the station buttons are one piece ( i am led to believe) if i can get old of one which the buttons are ok i can open the faultly on up first and see how easy it is today..

or just buy a new radio from Audi for £150

Cheers
