Hey all! Thanks for the replies. Sorry I didn't reply sooner. Odd, it said I look but I actually didn't, I'm just seeing them all now. I'm on my work computer so maybe I used the browser. In any case, appreciate everyone's thoughtful replies. I haven't bought a car yet and I agree with the majority that is probably someone's headache that they finally decided to unload. I might test drive it one last time and see what I think and what type of warranty they offer. Some of these American dealerships offer a three month warranty on used car now-a-days. I'm approaching this car with a ten foot pole as I'd rather spend a few thousand for something more reliable. Will keep you all posted!

Returning to Jonathon's original question, I have to wonder how such a low mileage car required so much expensive repair work. If the cause was abuse or mistreatment there may well be other undiscoved problems to solve. Frankly it sounds like a money pit that I would avoid like the plague. All of which is academic as Jonathon has made no further comments, despite looking at the forum at least twice since his original query six days ago.

I have no idea, but I am a great believer in the saying that if something looks to good to be true it generally is too good to be true. £5 for a wired connector is ludicrously cheap.

Broken wires are a common problem with A3 doors, and possibly other Audis as well. The fractures are usually in the rubber bellows between doors and frames. A search of this forum will reveal many occurances.

Now sold 🙂

Thank you Gary. I appreciate you trying to help, but as I mentioned earlier I do not download anything from unknown sources. Youtube is an alternative presentation that I have suggested when this difficulty has cropped up previously.

Welcome to the forum. Guys here have been very helpful in helping me with whatever is needed. I bought my first Audi in December last year. 3.0 TDi A8 - A bit older being a 2009 but its well looked after and doesnt really give much trouble (*touch wood*) Got VCDS aswell, but havent done alot with it! just the normal checks and stuff. making sure that everything is as it should be. I hope you enjoy the forum. Get a few pics of the car posted. We do like to see what other people are running and admire their cars. Regards, Neil H
