My personal view, is that if you're looking at car auctions then are you looking for the new Q5 on the cheap? If so as such, you'll either have to buy something that's below your expectations or save up more for the car you want.

Sounds like they're fobbing you off. Did they do a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up? Here's a similar issue with the A3 8v (which is what the q2 is based on).

This it? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/334602637035?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=yi1ojZncSxy&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=IE07kO4STZy&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. When you press the button can you hear any electrical solenoid working?

Even though it's just out of warranty you should be able to have good will from Audi. From what I've researched it'll need replacing Alternatively I'd recommend you take it to an Audi independent specialist

I think it's A5 that had 18 along with the A7. As long as the offset and centre bore is right then you should be ok https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/305162335141?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=FezDsNMRSh-&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=IE07kO4STZy&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Not heard of this issue before. Is it worth speaking to the company that repaired the screen?

I'd recommend you repair it especially with that low mileage. If you buy a second hand pump their are companies out there that can remove the imobiliser off the old pump to make it work for your engine. What's the engine code? I ask as if you decide to break it I'll consider the engine for mine.

I'd recommend you change the lower pulley at the same time and some recommend changing the thermostat too whilst you've got access.

Fingers crossed this works for you 🤞 keep us posted on how you get on

I'm suspecting a wiring issue as reverse lights will take signal.from.thengearbox when reverse is engaged

I think you need to get an auto locksmith out or your local break down company to break in.

Have you had the evap system actually inspected?

I think it's the valves inside the wheel.

Iveco nozzles might work.

Here's a new one

For the record the answer was the holiday.

You're welcome, keep us posted on how you get on

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 A8 d3 the best one in my opinion 🙂

Bumper definitely not aligned right. Have you done a hpi check? Also buying from an auction is always a risk.

Definitely get the battery checked

How old is the battery? A failing battery can throw up all sorts of warnings and electrical gremlins as it fails to provide enough power to all systems.

Seen on Facebook and thought I'd share. Info credited to SCR distribution: ARE CAR MANUFACTURERS RIPPING OFF CUSTOMERS ? A few weeks ago we helped a customer with an Audi S3 that sounded dreadful and zero solutions existed so we set about upgrading 8 speakers in the B&O equipped car, in became apparent that nothing was badged B&O like in earlier year Audi models I've worked on, all the speakers were made in Vietnam by Foster ( who knew ! ) upgrade was successful and all went well but it's been annoying myself and my customer so he asked Audi and I asked Bang & Olufsen in Denmark why the equipment didn't have their name on it....... they replied within 12 hours to my surprise. They haven't had anything to do with Audi sound systems since 2017 when the car division was sold to a Chinese company. Audi aren't being very forthcoming yet but my customer is taking it further. I did the same with Meridian who also confirmed that they make zero equipment for the Landrover Defender and only provide the sound set up. I then see a customer with a 2023 Ford Ranger with B&O complaining his speakers were also nothing to do with B&O ! If you pay the 2 to 5k for a premium upgrade surely it should be made by the people who have branded it. https://www.scrdistribution.co.uk/

I'd say the module is playing up. Is the gear selector eliminated. By why chance has it had wet footwell carpets at all?

I'd recommend you ring around main dealers and independent garages for the best price
