Thanks for letting us know.

Good question Gareth. I have found one in my garage (unused and uncut), and the original printed instruction manual. I'll rummage in the garage some more this afternoon and post an update if I find the other.

Thanks Graham, VAG recommended air filter change is a daft c45k, so I certainly wouldn’t be assuming anything ahead of tuning the performance of this car. re. Disc diameters-? Stick your reg. no. into Parts in Motion’s website and see what comes up, and/or try LLL parts for the original Audi part number - which should suffice for your sizing. Perhaps you could let us know how you get on Graham.

The part that was replaced in my car was p/n 04L 906 051 K

Yes, it is the S-Line. So possibly a eureka moment here. If it was standard, it might have been disabled, presumably for security reasons. i have been looking into whether the advanced key goes to sleep (stops transmitting) when stationary, like a few others such as newer BMW keys. It’s aimed at stopping relay theft with those boxes the crooks use. If the Audi key doesn’t do this the previous owner might have disabled keyless entry to combat relay theft, in which case, re-enabling it might not be a good idea. I did find an article on Google that says about leaving the smart bit of the key in the car and using the physical key blade in the driver’s door to disable keyless entry. Nothing about re-enabling it though unless it’s just a repeat of the same process. Might give it a try later on.
