Check the details of the warranty. They are normally worded to require the servicing to be done after a certain time or a certain mileage, whichever comes first.

Coding the battery means to programme the charging system for the type and capacity of the new battery to ensure it is charged at the correct rate. It is done with a computer gadget plugged into the car, and is not something the average owner would do himself. It's the sort of job best left to a professional because of the equipment cost. Unless the coding is done it is possible for the new battery to be damaged. I am curious to know how you are measuring the battery strength as a percentage. The meters I am familiar with give readings in volts not percent. You have not mentioned the extra electrical equipment I asked about, nor any diagnostic work.

Picked up the Q3 last week from Bristol Portbury Docks which took a bit longer than first expected as the ship it came on from Singapore had to go the long way around as it could not use the Suez Canal Changed over to English and miles in the MMI and gave it a bit of a once over and everything works as it should and could find nothing obvious wrong apart from the oil and coolant being very sightly down so have just topped these up although the oil was lovely and clean which would tie in with the service history Drove it down to get it mot'd today and it drives fine and passed with no advisories. It is in stunning condition and virtually like new with just a couple of very minor marks on the alloys and a very light scratch of about 2 inches in length on the drivers side door insert that I am hoping I can polish out and if not will just replace it. It also had one of the Isofix covers missing on the rear seat and I have ordered a genuine Audi replacement from a company called LLL Parts for under a tenner including delivery. Cover - chestnut brown - 8U0887187SC3 It is very clean underneath and far better than any 10 year old UK car that I have seen and the mot tester could not believe it was 10 years old. Will get the V55 off to the DVLA tomorrow to register it. Good news is that my wife really likes the black wheels and has decided that she is not that worried about going to bigger wheels so for now will just touch up the couple of small marks on them.

Update to this post, I finally found some time to get this sorted, fuse checked and all ok so it was the washer motor, took n/s front wheel off and inner wing, disconnected washer pump hoses and power supply, this only took and 15 mins. Swapped out old pump for new one and put back everything I did in reverse, job took about 30-45 mins at the most, a nice quick cheap fix 👌🏻👍🏻 Thank you to everyone that helped with this matter Scott
