Hi, first post.
I have a 2014 LHD Highline Golf estate DSG 2.0 diesel. Delighted with the car but a few issues have developed.
Passenger door ( front) speaker works only very occasionally. Hitting a pothole or high g force corner.
So far with the aid of a Spanish auto electrician have established nothing reaching door speaker or indeed the plug in the door frame. No break in the door wiring loom. Took head unit off to find it is just a simple looking head unit. So went looking for what I would call an amplifier which must send feeds to all the speakers in the car. Couldnt find it behind the glove box which basically seems to house the pollen filter. Likewise not in the boot.
I suspect it is on the floor under one of the front seats under the carpet. My auto electrician friend agrees despite ringing VW Spain and being advised “ no, the car doesn’t have a separate amplifier”
Does anyone on here know what we need to look for and where ? I think the drivers seat will have to come out if the amp is under the carpet.
Thanks in anticipation. Next post is reversing camera…….
