I agree with Gareth on this.

Did you make any progress on this Richard?

Happy birthday Kev! I feel we've all taken more than our fair share of batterings in 2023. Let's hope 2024 is more healthy and prosperous

No probs 🙂

Glad you got sorted 🙂

Happy new year to you and all the family Gareth 🙂

As long as they look the same shape then they'll be ok. The only other thing to bare in mind is that the electrical connector may differ depending if it's powerfold mirror or not.

First gen pic 1 Second gen pic 2 difference in wing mirror design is clear.

Id recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. Worse case scenario it could be a faulty instrument cluster

Happy new year to you too Kev

As long as it's a MK2 version then yes it will.

So sad to hear this news. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and you keV as I know you knew him. Please pass our condolences onto the family from me and the rest of the admin team.

You're welcome and you're correct, 3.0 is chain. Listen for any rattling from the chain.

Might be worth speaking to Audi about the software update

Pollen filter or pollen filter housing?

We'll within the warranty period then

You will find it is an offence for the driver or any passenger to not wear a seatbelt in any country in western Europe. On top of that the driver gets the fine for each passenger not wearing a belt. Not only that, I doubt you'll find a company that will deactivate the chime as I believe it's an offence to tamper with safety systems regarding seatbelts. Furthermore, if these systems are found to be tampered with then your MOT and insurance is void. I just can't understand why passengers wouldnt want to wear a seatbelt, the world as moved on since the 1950s/60s & 70s. I'd advise your passengers to watch videos on what happens when they don't wear a seatbelt. Needless to say, the one sat behind you can ultimately kill you as they hit the back of your seat!

Known fault often with the adblue sensor/float.

I'd definitely look at eBay. They're just bonded on I believe.

Service history is key especially with the gearbox. Has the Cambelt and water pump been changed? Is there any juddering from the gearbox? Is there any whine from the turbo? Do all the electronic items work? As some can be expensive to change. Any spoke out of exhaust which could be caused by a blocked dpf.

Please keep us posted on how you get on

No probs. When was it done? Usually you get 12 months guarantee on work carried out on an insurance claim.

Please keep us posted on how you get on

My gut is that it's not the battery but I'm only guessing

I can't say I've ever heard of this before and never experienced it with my own A6 which we've owned 21 years in the family and had multiple cambelts changed. I'd recommend a second opinion. Could it be a power steering pump or linked to the auxiliary belt?
