[V8] Re: Bose System Power Relay Location

[Ingo Rautenberg]

See Bentley for the 200 on page 91.23  It talks about Speaker Relay, J225
with a drawing that shows (apparently) the general area this Relay should be
(at least for the 200).  Besides the thorough wire wrapping job, everything
is tucked in soo close  I feel I really have to tear apart much of the sound
deadening material, unscrew numerous brackets, etc.

This appears to be entirely skipped in the V8 Audi shop manual (at least the
1990 version).

Sigh...
