Known fault often with the adblue sensor/float.

I'd definitely look at eBay. They're just bonded on I believe.

Service history is key especially with the gearbox. Has the Cambelt and water pump been changed? Is there any juddering from the gearbox? Is there any whine from the turbo? Do all the electronic items work? As some can be expensive to change. Any spoke out of exhaust which could be caused by a blocked dpf.

Please keep us posted on how you get on

No probs. When was it done? Usually you get 12 months guarantee on work carried out on an insurance claim.

My gut is that it's not the battery but I'm only guessing

I can't say I've ever heard of this before and never experienced it with my own A6 which we've owned 21 years in the family and had multiple cambelts changed. I'd recommend a second opinion. Could it be a power steering pump or linked to the auxiliary belt?

Auto glass should pay for it. If it was changed through your insurance company then I'd recommend you contact them asap.

It'll scuff the bottom.of the mudflaps over time. I question the legality of one individual fitting a speed hump to a private road, as a private road repair and maintenance has to be shared between all houses on that road.

It'll fit the engine bay but youl need the matching ECU and injection pump from the donor and it'll need coding to the ECU and instrument cluster

Hope you had a good Christmas, from the sounds of it I think it needs a garage to diagnose it properly. If it's a fuel pressure issue could it be the pump.

Is this a similar case?

Water in the boot I'd say could be coming from rear light seals, or bot seals where it meets the roof. Could it be the solenoid in the boot lock mechanism causing it to pop open I wonder? Has it had a further diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up since the initial repair?

I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. If you're lucky, a software update might be all it needs. Worse case scenario the units failed.

Have you checked the pollen filter housing?

I think you could be right, 128 might be the max but unsure why.

Have you had a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up? Have you looked to replace the actuator?

Glad you got sorted. They don't make it easy that's for sure!

The auto handbrake in theory should only disengage once the car has sensed you have enough revs to pull off. What you describe is normal

I think the subscription is only free for the first 3 years.

The symptoms sound similar to a failing thermostat possibly

Could be exhaust or could be a failing engine mount and the engine movement is pulling on the exhaust

I think you've hit the nail on the head to be honest. See if you can dry out the emu and get all drain holes clear of leaves etc. Once dry see if ye problem persists. If it does then replacement is usually the only option

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch. One key thing to think is do you want one with 5,6 or 7 seats. Tech packs are very useful Check the mmi on the vehicle. As higher the better. Check service history. Mainly for proof of gearbox oil services and if it's had any work done the air suspension as that's the biggest problem with them. 2011 was the year that the car got an 8 speed gear box instead of the 6 speed in 2010 and earlier. I think there was a slight facelift too and a slight engine refinement but the main difference is the gearbox which makes it better on fuel and nicer to drive on the motorway. It might of got the start stop too. Early 2011 cars (60 plate) and some early 11 plate cars probably won’t have the revisions. Get one with the 8 speed box it’s a lot nicer to drive
