Regarding the passenger door lock: it is common in some VAG models for that door and the boot to require a double press of the key fob. It's a security feature to prevent unwanted strangers jumping into the car.

Trevor. I have merged your duplicate topics into one. Please don't create duplicates, it will not gain you any more attention.

Audi S4 B9 won't engage in gears from P
cliffcoggin replied to atiqmughal's topic in Audi A4 (B9) Forum
The wiring damage may not be visible externally. You could have: a break in a conductor inside intact insulation, a poor contact in one of the connectors, a short circuit inside one the components, or possibly other faults I have not thought of. -
I'd say the problem is electrical, so I suggest you get the battery and alternator tested professionally as a first step. It doesn't matter what voltage you measure, the battery may still be defective enough to interfere with the ignition system.

Thank you. I hadn't heard of that one. -
It looks like a Torx fastener. They come in a range of metric sizes and are available at most tool merchants.

Thanks for letting us know. I shall lock this topic to avoid it being revived in the future.

What's that? -
Wouldn't the simplest solution be to ask an Audi dealer?

If I had not seen the picture I would not have believed six bolts could shear off. Thanks for letting us know.

Please do.

Please help me identify this locking nut 🙏
cliffcoggin replied to MatthewH's topic in Audi A4 (B7) Forum
If all else fails you could weld a nut/bar/socket on the locking nut in order to remove it. Of course that will ruin the locking nut and you would need to buy a new one. Protect the wheels from weld spatter if you do try this. -
Colin. You are flogging a dead horse old chap. This topic expired seven years ago. Better to start your own topic. Locking this topic.

Steven. It would be worth looking at the relevent sections of the forum for the models you are interested in to get an idea of the pros and cons.

I have never heard a gearbox make the sort of sound you describe, but if it is the box it is probably too late to do anything about it. Nevertheless for peace of mind it won't hurt to get the oil changed.
