Sorry to hear this, hope you're ok? Car protected you.

Also, when fitting a donor door, transfer all modules over from your existing door as this should help reduce the risk of electrical gremlins with central locking etc.

Thank you for updating us 🙂

I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. Could be an issue with a mad sensor.

Check service history for proof of cambelt/water pump changes unless it's a chain. If chain then listen for rattle on start up and driving. It'll be an auto I suspect so check there's proof of gearbox oil changes as the s tonic box doesn't like to have old oil. Usually it's first or reverse that refuse to engage. But check all gears a smooth. Again check for service history of quattro system. Check all electrical items work. AC works consistently in all vents as issues with the system can get expensive. Check all leds are working in rear lights. Look for any proof of dpf, egr issues in service history.

Nightmare!

Please keep us posted on how you get on

I dont believe so. It could affect the emissions but not enough to fail an MOT I believe.

Great pics and trip. I did something similar a few years ago it was great.

So the seats look like they're from an allroad. The wood is darker than mine. Sorry to hear the ECU is missing. Hope it's found soon!

Very nice.

It's interesting to see behind the dash of a c5. Great work so far! Who's the supplier for your stand alone ECU? And how will hat affect the imobilser?

Glad it's going well 🙂
