The reason why I say it might have been remapped after egr blank is because if it was just blanked off the car would throw up engine management light etc.

Service history is key. Ideally this should be full. Proof of cambelt and water pump changes should be clear otherwise you'll need to get it done. Make sure all electrical items work as some parts are hard to come by now. Make sure heater works consistently in power and temp from all vents as this could be a sign of a failing or blocked heater matrix. Check condition of interior as some interior plastics are no longer available and rare to find second hand. Check YouTube for buyers guides

If the car has xenon headlights then it'll definitely have headlight washers as it's a legal requirement I believe. In theory once you activate the windscreen washers they should pop out to clean the headlights.

I'd recommend getting a diagnostic check to see what fault codes flag up and go from there. What are they highlighting the issue is in the USA?

Yep could be a Software issue. I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. Also you could do a reset on the infotainment system.

Sorry to hear of your issue. You could get the imobiliser turned off on the instrument cluster. Have a look for instruments cluster repairs or imobiliser off to find companies locally that will do it for you. You could also get a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up

It sounds like the egr had been blanked off which would make me think it's been remapped to delete the egr from the cars system. Could it be a cam sensor, crank sensor? Any issues with the engine temperature?

Have a look at Celtic tuning website a s it'll show you the potential gains. Makes sure you use a reputable company that'll do the remap on a rolling road

I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. It's most likely thr motor that's failed.

I think it could be the door module. But a diagnostic check will show up fault codes

Glad you've got partly sorted 🙂

You could always try a different Audi dealer to get the issues resolved or speak to Audi customer services

Keep us posted on how you get on

Wowsers. You could get it booked into Audi or an Audi independent specialist who might have more sophisticated diagnostic equipment
