Those of a kindly disposition might think your dealer is snowed under with too much work to attend to your minor faults. Those of a more cynical nature, such as me, might suspect him of prevaricating in the hope that you will give up until after the guarantee runs out.

Sounds good if it's a 1 owner car with full history. But the key question you have to ask yourself is why is he selling it? Che k service history for proof of gearbox oil changes and make sure all electrical items work. Check service history got any evidence of work on the dpf or egr. Check out buyers guides on YouTube.

hello

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

It may not be the sensors Kevin, but the ‘senders’. Believe the rears on yours are within the hub casting - well they are on the same year A3. Kind regards, Gareth.

Cool man. Thanks for the heads up on that. I'll check it out. It's not a problem. I figured that was the case, but even just getting input on the ability to replace individual parts on the lower intake manifold is helpful. Any kind of input is helpful, so i'm just throwing it all out there.

Hi its the oil level sensor in the sump going south, they are pretty useless but the upside is they are fairly cheap and easy to replace, dont buy the Audi gold plated version as its made by Febi and their aftermarket version is less than half price, the whole sensor is calibrated by a bonnet switch on the slam panel so check the wiring up to that just to be sure but its most likely the electrics which are exposed to boiling oil.

It would if the locks are still vacuum operated and that pipe was still part of the vacuum circuit. However if you can easily pass air down the pipe without an effect on the locks then the pipe can be eliminated from further investigation.
