After lurking on A2OC on and off over the years, we finally own an A2 
We looked ages ago and didn’t have the budget, I almost gave up, thinking the cars available we getting too old and the miles too high. We now own a 2001 plate TDI with OSS, Bose (not sure what) and a few other bits. My wife has (half) joked that each car we buy seems to get older than the last. Previously we had a 2003 mini and before that a 2004 civic. Anyway, I have been checking how everything works and slowly getting used to things even though my wife is the main driver. I also have a few questions if anyone can help....
I have seen some Audi workshop CD manuals on ebay covering the A2 plus others @ £4.99 – are these recommended or is there something better?
I have read all the posts about Bose but am not quite sure if I have the full system, I definitely have a unit in the boot next to the battery, I am assuming this is the sub?, there are also tools under the drivers floor but I also read there should be an amp under the drivers floor? Was this another option or could there be something under the grey tray that holds the tools? Or should this be somewhere else. (The radio display doesn’t show “BOSE”)
The car is mainly used by my wife, I did use it the other day and noticed some random short deep pitch noises/ creaks, I thought originally these were from outside, I am now wondering if there is a possible fault on the sub and if this could emit sounds when the radio is off, I thought about removing the fuse for the sub for 30 mins to see if any better, does anyone have any experience of this (or know where the fuse is located?)
Thanks in advance, looking forward to being part of the community
