Atomic

Locked out of A4 SE tdi 2009 with key and remotes inoperative.. Got the AA out who disconnected oil level sensor to power up car with no success. Damage to door trim, seals and still did not get in. Broke window and got car started. Now oil level sensor bust, AA says could not have been them, computer says that’s the way to do it. That oil sensor had been ok for 138,000 miles and ten years of use but now it is bust. What do people think?
