Welcome to the forum Joe, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂
speaking to Audi might be your best bet as I know on the a3 it's a slightly different size if I recall.
cheers

Sorry I can't help more. I know you will have tried spraying wd40 etc. When you put the key in, does it turn or does it feel jammed and if you turn it, you feel like it will damage the key. If that makes sense?

The concern is, if an MOT tester finds the dpf is false then I suspect you could end up with big fines. Plus I suspect this would void your insurance.

Hi Chris when you say have the dpf and egr done, do you mean remove? If so it'll be an mot failure if you remove the dpf.
With regards to the remap you should get good bhp gains but you must make sure your car is well maintained and any mechanical issues sorted otherwise it could affect the cars reliability.

Sorry to hear of your issue.
You've done well to get a good proportion off so far and I'd be definitely pushing for more. I totally agree that a 3 and half year old cat shouldnt have issues with the timing chain (depending on mileage obviously). As it's a known fault, in an ideal world Audi should pay the whole bill but this was probably very unlikely.

Besides the fuseboxes you've mentioned there aren't any others I don't believe. My advice would be to get an auto electrician take a look at them.

Hi Richard there isn't a secondary battery. My advice would be to get your actual car battery checked as it could be on it's way out if it's the original. Halfords can do a battery check for you to make sure it's providing enough umph.

Hi Andy, these are common issues on Audi's from this era. My a6 suffered the same with the cupholder. Needless to say I had to replace it as repairing it wasn't an option.

You're welcome 🙂
If a sensor has failed then it should be picked up on the diagnostic check.
Worst case scenario someone might have hit you.
