Thanks Steve was about to do that but had a lightbulb moment,
if PRCode: 7GN on the vin label = Emission standard EU4 DPF preparation, which to my mind means that the car does not have a DPF then there must be another code for cars that do have a DPF.
A little digging and found that PRCode: 7GG = Emission standard EU4 DPF,
So looks like the information on the vin label has the information I need
7GN = no DPF 7GG = DPF fitted
Can it be that simple? will contact Audi to confirm though I have to say they have been less than helpful in the past when seeking information on older models.
