Get this into Audi asap as it should be covered under the warranty which will be expiring this year as your car is a 2021 model. Unfortunately Audi never learn and water ingress damaging sensitive computers etc has been common issues on Audi's over the last 20 years. I know as my old A6 C5 has suffered from it.

I'd recommend you use silicone sealer to seal them.

This is well documented, mmi requires an update and from what I last heard Audi hadn't come up with a fix yet.

Not as much but anything possible with old high mileage cars!

Most likely a failing turbo or turbo pipes? Check the pipes first.

It's oil consumption issues on the A5 2.0tfsi. as you're looking at high mileage cheap ones I'd avoid the A5, as you could be buying trouble. Service history is key. Check to see if gearbox oil services have been done along with haladex services on Quattro models. Make sure all.lights work, AC works etc as they can be expensive to replace.

Could all be connected please keep us posted on how you get on

I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up.

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!
