Not 100% sure to be honest but quite possibly as it was a new model. The reason I was asking was because I found this and wondered if it would fit:

I assume you used an adaptor lead to fit it? The lead likely swapped the ignition live and permanent live over, so you will need to cut and rejoin these on the adapter lead you used. It's usually the red and yellow wires.
Sadly this is the way it has been with may manufacturers for some time now. Hopefully we will begin to see changes as more cars have Google maps etc built it
That's not so bad then Stanley, at least that gives you something a little better in the mean time. Does it transfer your phonebook or is it calls only?
They look like a wheel that was quite common on the MK1 TT and possible a few other models.
The lack of Audi centre cap makes me probably think they are replicas. Don't think they would have been standard on yours. Look ok though if you sort out the centre caps.
Not the throttle cable but the battery maybe. Certainly if it had been flat for a while.
Is the battery definitely OK now? Have you had it tested? You'd be surprised the sort of electrical gremlins a dodgy battery can cause. Of course, it may not be that but it's certainly worth checking out.
Wow, coilovers have definitely come down in price a lot over the last few years.
Personally I always find them a bit too harsh for my liking - I prefer a good quality spring kit, unless you're planning on some track work of course?
Have you checked your user manual? I'm assuming as you say it's just a shift recommendation for eco driving? Does it go away if you change gear as directed?
I'd try and get the throttle cable sorted that doesn't sound great.
Have you had any issues with the battery? Sometimes the ECU may need to relearn/reset itself after the battery has been disconnected?
