Not rare that I'm aware of.

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 Looks lovely 👍

Have you had a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up?

I think a cable from a b7 should also fit.

Checking the wiring is the easiest job. If that's ok then replace actuator or module. Baring in mind I believe if a door cannot be opened then it is an MOT failure.

Have you had a quote from your garage?

Or try eBay.

This could be an issue with the instrument cluster. They can be tested and repaired and I'd recommend looking for local firms. Regarding the key, have you tried the spare key so that you can rule out the key. In failing that it could be an issue with the receiver. Has the car ever had wet carpets as wet passenger front foot well can damage the ccm.

As it's under warranty id recommend it goes for a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. If it's hybrid it could be an issue with hybrid system or needs a software update.

I agree with Cliff that MOT testing station needs reporting asap. The car needs another check asap. When I had something similar with my A6 it was an intermittent fault with the master cylinder.

It could be the egr cooler leaking, but something as simple as a failed expansion tank cap. This you wouldn't notice. Linked to this water could be escaping out of the expansion tank where the two halves of it are joined if that makes sense. Both of these parts won't be that expensive to change. Whereas egr cooler will be.

Glad you got sorted 🙂

I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. Sounds like an issue with the key or the immobiliser

Cliffs right 2007 onwards the battery needs coding. Could it be a glow plug issue?

If you can do the work yourself then that's a big plus as it's the labour that costs

As I say, even though single flywheel conversion sounds tempting as it's cheaper it can cause more vibrations and put strain on other components. Definitely look at Luk or sach. When I was looking for my A6 a good while back, believe it or not darkside developments was one of the cheapest

I'd recommend buying a complete set up from a breaker. You'll need the steering wheel, clock spring (stalks) and wiring loom.thrnitll need to be coded in.

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

Please keep us posted on how you get on

It's cheaper but the problem is you're just moving the stresses and vibration further up. So I'd recommend duel mass flywheel In my opinion. Sach is the other well know supplier

Usually this is caused by a loose wire under the passenger seat

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 With any jap import make sure the emissions information is on the v5 otherwise you can have a problem with ulez zones etc. Jap cars are usually well maintained due to the strict MOT. Speak to the dealer about the infotainment system as it'll all be in Japanese.

Loads of messers out there. Fingers crossed for you 🤞
