Whetstone Audi want £20 for the code, and they want to see the car and Radio. Looks like I'll be sticking in a Blaupunkt aftermarket CD player that I have laying around, at least it has the same pinouts so has half a chance of driving the factory amp.

I did have a CD somewhere that can be used in the drive to reset it and during that process it throws up a code which the last four digits of which are the passcode. It worked on an RNSe unit I was lent for an A3. I'll have to see if I can find it!!

Quick update time,
Spent last weekend ripping out loads of extra wiring. So out with the remainder of the aftermarket headunit, there was an external satnav module and also a GPS aerial buried behind the glovebox. Also removed an antique Nokia in car phone system complete with cradle and aerial that had also been hidden behind the glovebox out of sight. Still not got the code for the radio from Audi, so I took up plan B and installed my old Blaupunkt Woodstock DAB52. As the factory Concert was also made by Blaupunkt the Woodstock had all the same connections so it's installed and also powers the factory amp thats driving the rear speakers. Result is perfect audio from all the speakers, I don't think the rear speakers have worked for sometime but the sound is much improved. Only issue was the power to the unit, as VAG have the red/yellow reversed from standard but have that sorted as well. Now the only real issue is the gearbox, the 6 speed CVT is known for judder at low RPM which develops over time. I can only assume this has been like it for a very long time, so it may keep going. Its not a very nice drive around town, if you maintain light throttle you can see the RPM vary up/down slightly as you drive along. It's possible to drive around it by using pseudo manual mode, and keeping the revs over 2000 rpm where the issue disappears. I've driven the car 400 miles now, and apart from the box issue it seems quieter than the D3 but not as comfortable to sit in. It's quieter because unlike my D3 there is no whine from the NSR backend that I've been plagued with on the D3 for 18 months.

Good video here https://youtu.be/MhFK5gfAGpM?t=1m31s That video shows a cone CVT, whereas Audi Multitronic system uses a link-plate chain drive. But the principle is the same by varying the size of the input and output to give a infinite ratio between the max and min. I guess giving the box these ratio points gives the user familiarity with a regular manual box and the ability to control the speed with throttle.

I've asked Poole Audi for a quote to renew the CVT oil and get the radio code, so waiting for their response.

End --------------------------------------------------------------------- Concerned about the 17748, especially considering the engine was rebuilt 10K ago after a cambelt failure to the tune of £4000. 17748 suggests that the timing is out on one of the banks, remembering that I have already replaced the bank 1 camshaft position sensor with a new OEM one because the old one was not working at all. Also gave the car a good clean and wax, there is a surprising amount of rust when you look close enough, thank goodness the D3 is made of aluminium. And some fresh pictures from the clean now below.
