About to buy one. What should I look out for?
Have a look to see if the gearbox has been serviced. Check to see if the cambelt and water pump has been changed. Make sure all electrical items work. Check buyers guides on YouTube.

Can you hear the doors unlocking when you press the fob?

Timing chain
Probably £700 ISH.

Front bumper popping out
It's definitely headlight washer. This can be quite normal in these very cold conditions. Don't push them back in as you can break them. Let them go back in on their own once it's warmed up.

AUDI A5 S LINE 35 TDI - Auto Hold Dis-engaging
Well if you have a code reader it might show fault codes. But clearly an Audi job.

AUDI A5 S LINE 35 TDI - Auto Hold Dis-engaging
It'll need a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. It could just be a wheel sensor but but usually/in theory there'd be a hold function disabled or similar warning if the car had picked up a problem. see what Edinburgh Audi says. Keep us posted on how you get on.

Air bag warning light
That's a great result. Did they just turn off the light?

Timing chain replacement
I agree with Cliff. Often 100-150k usually. But you only change them once they start to make a noise etc.

Engine swapped Audi's
Thank you, most definitely but it'll be worth it 🙂 not aiming for too crazy power as it needs to still be useable for road trips etc. Turbo and injectors are good for 280ish

Engine swapped Audi's
Funnily enough I've been to see a chap this evening and his workshop who can rebuild my engine with all new internals and skimming the head. Then considering hybrid turbo, upgraded injectors, 4 bar map sensor, straight through exhaust, port/polish head and then a remap. Then looking at upgrading the clutch and dmf.
