You're welcome

If this were mine I wouldn't chance it. On my daily 2016 ford Kuga the interval was 10 years or 120k but ford has since changed this. Good job I found this out as my cambelt was on the verge of snapping at 85k.

I'd get the battery checked ked first as that's often the cause for this. In failing that I hope you're not as unlucky as this guy: https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/419622/ Coolant leak caused the ECU to get fried.

Usually you'll need one from same body type and engine type. So ideally from an A3 similar year and Engine

Yep you can't otherwise cara would be even easier to steal.

I'd consider the switch. But might be worth checking the runners in case there's anything blocking it.

You'd be better off looking for local companies that specialise in repairing instrument clusters. As the instrument cluster has part of the vehicle imobiliser system built into it. So changing it for a second hand unit isn't plug and play.

Here in the UK we have retrofitting companies. Surely Germany does too. PDC should be straightforward for a retrofitter. But not sure about adding driver select.

Ideally yes but more so you know it's compatible with the wheel and the electrical plug will be the same.

I'd recommend you speak to a local company that can remove locking wheel nuts as they look pretty knackered.

Sorry you're still having issues, but at least you have a temporary cure.

Love

Glad you got sorted 🙂

Could be a sticking caliper piston. One way to tell if you have a sticking piston that keeps the brake pads rubbing on the disc is when youve parked up after a drive see if you can feel excess heat coming from any brake disc more than the others

Have you tried eBay for a second hand window or roof? The window is only bonded and stitched in place. Have you spoken to your insurance company regarding window replacement?

I'd suspect the antenna personally. But an update to software is no bad thing.

Sorry the part doesn't fit. Tats very frustrating

It needs a proper diagnosis for a garage.

Thought I'd share this as a road trip option for your thinking of a road trip in the US. Route 50 🚗 The Loneliest Road in America!🇺🇸 It’s the perfect road for an epic cross-country adventure, combining scenic beauty, history, and a touch of mystery! Here are some interesting facts: 1. Crosses the Entire U.S.: Route 50 stretches more than 3,000 miles from Ocean City, Maryland on the East Coast to Sacramento, California on the West. It’s one of the few highways that gives you a true coast-to-coast experience. 2. “Loneliest Road in America”: The highway earned this title in 1986 when Life Magazine dubbed the stretch through Nevada as such due to its remote, desolate landscapes. Ironically, it became a huge draw for adventure-seekers! 3. Historic Roots: Route 50 follows parts of The Lincoln Highway, America’s first transcontinental road, which was established in 1913. So, you’re literally driving along a piece of history. 4. Diverse Landscapes: Traveling Route 50 takes you through everything from bustling cities like Washington, D.C. and St. Louis, to the endless deserts of Nevada, to the majestic Rocky Mountains in Colorado. 5. Ghost Towns Galore: Especially in Nevada, you’ll pass by several ghost towns, remnants of the Old West’s mining boom, like Austin and Eureka, where time seems to stand still. 6. Highest Point: Route 50 crosses the Eisenhower Tunnel in Colorado, which is one of the highest points on the U.S. highway system at over 11,000 feet above sea level. 7. Mark Twain’s Inspiration: Nevada’s section of Route 50 runs through Virginia City, where Mark Twain began his career as a writer. You can visit his former haunts along the way. 8. Oceans & Mountains: Start your trip at the Atlantic Ocean in Maryland and, if you’re up for it, end near the Pacific Ocean in California—seeing everything in between.

Glad you got sorted 🙂
