@Kleynie Are you sure? I thought the Chorus and Concert both have rear speaker outputs, just that rear speakers (non Bose) are driven via line outputs and a rear amp, so rear speaker outputs are not used, and deselected via VCDS setup. This is definitely the case with my Chorus II.The standard Concert only has front speaker outputs and the rears have a small amp under each front seat. That’s why you can only see the front speaker outputs at the head unit itself.
Chapeaux to your courage and tenacity on this one. I too own and drive a "rescue", known as the A2 delinquent. The back story on mine was a bit different however. Dealer demonstrator initially followed by a gp for ten years with impeccable main dealer history and for the next ten years by a "geezer" who was not doing many miles and therefore did not service it at all. From MOT to MOT fixing any advisories, but not a single service. Having been bitten badly by other A2 sagas in the past I sailed into this one eyes open ,reasoning that neglect is a lot better than a life of abuse and bodgery.
Thanks to various luminaries on here, the car is now a delight to drive, and well on the way to being "the finished article" A few biggies to deal with:
Rear suspension bushes, new clutch, new rear bumper (in stock awaiting fitting) and finally wheel refurbs.
Many thanks to all of you have helped on this car.
Meanwhile good luck on yours.
Just a tad ahead of you. Removed headlining and re-covered it. Now waiting to be refitted. Its not perfect as it's my first attempt, but at least not saggy as before!So...headlining came out at the weekend without too much aggro. Someone has been there before but looks like they backed off before getting too far in!
Anyway, this is the current state of play, not a good look for any car...View attachment 77643View attachment 77644
Hi Ian,Had a rummage about and found some hi/lo horns to replace the weedy beeper.
2000 Mk4 Golf Klaxons or 1999 Sharan Mixo, identical TR99 parts and all with a nice burly Packard connector.
One set for Pearl and one set for the syncro.
Then Pearl can have her front bumper back on and start looking like a car again.
