Thanks Stevey yep I think it’ll be explore all possible problems one at a time, think I’ll start with the float and the sender first as they are easier to access but if the problem isn’t there I’ll need to take the clocks out and look for the problem there. You know what it’s like I was hoping someone would say ‘yes I know exactly what that problem is, but not so far 😫, not to worry everyday is a learning session 👍🏻

I do agree if the gearbox hasn't been serviced then they can't say full history. Also sealed for life is misleading and nonsense too, especially if they're saying it has to be changed at 100k. Almost implies Audi don't think their products can do more than a 100k lol. Then again they want them to die asap so they can sell you another car or at the very least in your case a diff! Just think if the car was to last 20 years like my a6 has done what state that diff oil would be in 😬

Hi Pros, smoother clutch and never having to buy a flywheel again, Cons it will shred the rubber mounted crank damper in record time, possible crank whip which causes big end failure, worse case scenario the crankshaft shatters due to harmonic resonance because at about 2800 rpm the resonance will be at maximum with no DMF to smooth the torque curve it could be terminal. I have witnessed this first hand over the last eighteen years when my fellow cabbies have thought it was a good idea, anyone that tells you this is rubbish is uninformed, think about it, why would the manufacturer spend extra money on a hardened steel flywheel with an intricate float mechanism when they could cut their costs dramatically by fitting a machined one piece unit.
