TRUTRAK TRACKER
Don't forget you can always look at getting apple air tags (I think that's what they're called) for £35 which are mini trackers. Samsung do similar ones. These are easily hidden and most thieves wouldn't be considering these compared to a normal tracker. The more expensive option which is very good is the Ghost alarm/tracker.

Cold starting problem
If there's no codes then it's old fashioned diagnostics I'm afraid. What condition is the battery? If it's old it might be worth getting this checked? Spark plugs/glow plugs when we're these last changed? Is it worth getting the starter motor looked at?

B6 A4 1.9tdi owner in Bristol looking to make contacts ideally with a VAG-COM
I'd definitely look at replacing the switch unit on the drivers door. You're right there's a lot of electronics on the drivers door but if it's anything like my c5 it's because the drivers door locking mechanism controls all the central locking.

Key questions whats the service history on the car and why is the owner getting rid of it?

Spare wheels
I would suspect a standard Q7 space saver would fit the car. Whether it'll fit into the boot well is another matter.

Audi a6 2005 auto v6 brake problem
You're welcome 🙂 please keep us posted on how you get on 🙂 in my case the issue was so rare it took them a while to replicate the fault as 95% of the time the servo was working as it should.

Engine Light with Error code P2196
If you've cleared the code a d then the same code has come back then I'd be confident to say change the sensor. If it still comes on after the sensor has been changed then further diagnosis will be required

I had a servo failure on my c5. Lost all brakes then when I got It recovered by AA it worked fine. No fault codes or warning lights. Had the servo replaced and all good.

Rough Idle / Mis Fire Bank 2 / Smooth under higher Rev and no Mis Fire (Car holds many memories)
Good point. I'd definitely look at the sensor then. Or sensor wiring.

A3 - 2011 Sportback Japanese Import
I think it'll have to be done at an Audi dealership. Alternatively you could speak to autologics. Various members have used them for retrofits etc so could be knowledgeable on this.
