Hi! I’m new to the owners club! This is my pride and joy☺️

Hi all the filters are supplied by Bosch,Mann,Hengst, Blueprint are a good shout I use them on my A6 and never had one go wonky yet, car producers source their O.E. parts from a multitude of suppliers who have to put their products in a badge engineered box at twice the price from the dealer and a lot less in the original makers packaging, so in the final analysis if you want to pay a lot more for a cardboard box that is your prerogative, the only part I would not buy aftermarket from Euros or anywhere else is a DPF that you would get cheaper from TPS.

Thanks Mark, I think your last route is probably the most practical, unless you want to get into Small Claims Court cases with the dealer and/or Audi U.K. If you did want to do that, then you would obviously need to ‘invest’ in qualified and professional reports and representation at court. Of course, the ‘contaminated’ coolant possibility, is indeed just that, and the heater core may not be blocked/partially blocked as a result, and the non functional heater may be a heater control malfunction. I would check the small print of the warranty ( who’s warranty is it?) before deciding anything, since they - not the Audi dealer, or Audi U.K. - are the deciders of what is covered or not. Kind regards, Gareth.
