I'd definitely look at the battery as a failing battery can cause starting issues especially if you're running heating systems etc whilst on start up. Companies like Halfords offer a free battery test. The usual life of a battery is 5-7 years. But if it's at the dealer they should find it. It's definitely in the best place.

I definitely would recommend a diagnostic check. But I wonder if the gearbox module is on the way out. Or the selector.

Yu might find that the area is blank on purpose as uk spec cars do vary from European ones. Is in Europe they have to carry breath test equipment, bulbs, hi vis jackets ect by law. Whereas we don't.

Yep I believe it would need to be coded. You've listed tbe bits you need 👍 not sure if it would be different but make sure the airbag connectors are the same as yours with any seats you buy. The heater elements are in the seats I believe.

Found this link. Which might help: https://imgvehicle.com/audi/a6-c6/fuse-box

At least my Audi should attend this time compared to last year lol. -
You're welcome, sorry they do t fit. I bought a stainless one for my Ford kuga from ebay so might be with trying there too.

Yep it could be thinking about it. Or a relay or module

I'd recommend rgm my dad has had them on his mercs and they're good quality. Here's the link to the q2 one: https://rgmautomotive.co.uk/product/abs-rgm-rearguard-audi-q2/

Getting it checked by a professional is definitely the best course of action you're taking. Is the steering electric or hydraulic? If it's the former then a failing battery could be causing an issue. Especially as the battery would have to work harder when moving the car at slower speeds when parking etc And it's definitely worth getting the battery checked. I admit this doesn't explain the knocking noise. If it's hydraulic (most likely) then it could be a pump or pulley issue.

I believe you'll have to change the headlight.

Steve Q replied to Obasa's topic in National Shows & Events
It is definitely the best Audi show of the year 👍 and good value for money when you consider you get access to the museum and manor house. -
You're welcome ☺️ wow really I wouldn't be surprised! My advice for security would be to a ghost alarm. My mate has one on his campervan and it's a neat bit of kit.

Welcome to the forum, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch ☺️ Sorry to hear of your issues, the sat nav one is definitely common and is as you say linked to the antenna. Regarding software updates I'd advise you get Audi to do this for your peace of mind.

What you should have is the spare wheel or tyre weld, compressor, wheel jack, locking wheel nut and towing eye.

Thanks for sharing this. I hadn't started looking at the 22 shows yet. Will do now though. I'll definitely be attending. -
I'd definitely recommend having the system fully bled first. Then check all rubber coolant hoses.

I'm surprised it didn't come with a dipstick. I've found two on ebay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Audi-A5-8T-A6-C7-2-0-TDi-Oil-Dipstick-Dip-Stick-New-Genuine-03L115611AC-/133532394986?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Audi-A6-C7-3-0-V6-TDI-Diesel-Engine-Oil-Dip-Stick-New-Genuine-059115611AM-/133392853196?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0

If the car is still under warranty it's definitely worth getting Audi to take a look. I appreciate that's unlikely as we're nearly at the end of 2021 now.

Audi a5 . Wind deflectors on a framless dorr possible?
Steve Q replied to Gigabass's topic in Audi A5 Club
I do t believe it's possible due to the door being pillarless. Plus even if you could they would probably foul on the window when it automatically goes up/down when the doors open/close. https://www.a5oc.com/threads/rs5-a5-door-wind-deflectors.76250/ -
