If it's a 2017 model I dont think it will as it became more standard in 2018 onwards. You can get it retrofitted but it's not cheap.

Weeping is ok, but definitely keep an eye on it as you can bet it'll start leaking in the future. The cure will be a new gasket.

Normally fitting larger wheels regardless of tyre firms up the ride unfortunately.

Might sound daft, but you could always try pulling the fuse, as long as you've got the radio code. In failing that you could speak to any auto electrician or Audi specialist. You could go to Audi but they'll want big bucks.

I'd definitely try ebay first, as it's always my first port of call. I'd also set it to international too, to vary the search. Sorry I can't help more, but I do feel your pain as I've been experiencing similar issues with my a6 c5 with other components. Cheers Steve

I think the circuit boards are known to fail due to corrosion. As to how to get it out if the screw is just spinning is an interesting one.

All the wiring and electronics run along the bulkhead. I'd check to see if any of it is wet. Wet front footwells is a good giveaway. Water gets in via the battery tray if the battery tray drains get blocked.

I would personally try the gearbox service first as you'd be surprised how many times this resolves the problem. In failing that you could find a used part but it might need coding to the car. Cheers Steve

My advice would be to get a diagnostic check varied out. Rough running could be caused by a failing maf Sensor.

The 2.5 is a great lump and gave it in my a6 c5 which is on 335k. A shaking engine could be an engine mount as it was in my case. The engines can take a while to start like mine which I think is the glow plugs or injectors, and new ones can speed up starting. Cheers Steve

My advice would be to try ebay. I'm guessing it's for the air intake system/airbox? The 1.8 engine was used in various vag cars over a long production run so hopefully you'll find one easily enough

You're in the same boat as me. Im keeping my a6 c5 forever and finding parts now becoming harder to find as a lot aren't being made anymore.

I'm going to assume it's not leaking coolant abd temp gauge is normal. In which case I'd guess a sensor is failing abd a diagnostic check might be a good idea to see what fault codes flag up. Cheers Steve

It might be worth you speaking to the finance company if you're not getting anywhere with Audi. Along the lines it's not fit for purpose especially as it's applying the brakes for no reason. My other advice would be to get it booked into for a longer period abd get a courtesy car. That way you have leverage as they'll want the courtesy car back, but if your cars not fixed then they won't get it back if you see what I mean. Cheers Steve

Sounds like an antenna issue. Not 💯 sure but I've looked at getting the similar head unit to my a6 c5 abd think I need a different antenna. Cheers Steve

Depending on your model of Audi, you could fit s line springs and shocks which would lower it 30mm. Don't forget to get your tracking down after you fit any lowing kit. Cheers Steve

Sounds like the power is too low for the car to register them. So either a resistor will be needed but bear in mind the law is changing around headlight modifications. Cheers Steve

Yep intending to go to this one too ☺️ they're literally a week apart. Will be booking a hotel for simply Audi.

No probs

Sounds like a wiring issue, or issue with the switch internals. My advice would be to speak to an auto lock smiths as ordering a replacement from Audi will be costly.

Of no Kev! What's your plans with this one?

Looks like AITP is on for this year, who's going? ☺️

Lovely pickup, it should be easy to shift.

This depends what kind of miles your wife does. Short journeys I'd say avoid diesel due to the dpf and egr clogging. Ideally get one from a dealer a d with full history if you can

Welcome to the forum, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch ☺️ Lovely looking a2 👍 Cheers Steve
