I appreciate your feedback, but done the things you have suggested so far. Someone has mentioned that there could be a bad earth contact somewhere on the car but not been able to trace such.

I do struggle a lot because i am disabled and cannot sit up or stand for long, it took me a month to do that rear axle job with a little help at times from my son and using his ramp. But it gave me self satisfaction to have done it myself as i have done since i was 20. I'm sure you feel the same ? Regards Reg

I have nearly always sorted my own brake issues as i was taught to do when i was in my late teens, i am now 65. However i have found out that Audi/VW brakes are a bit tricky to bleed, but still manage it. Last year i put a new rear axle on my Audi a3, and replaced everything on that new axle, suspension, wheel hubs. brake pipes. I only replaced the brake calipers a few years ago, so reused them. I find bleeding is not easy on Audi's and VW's, and have encountered the same issues on the odd occasion the garage has worked on them. The brake pedal can be very spongy. But after driving it for a few days, it corrects itself. At worst, it took nearly two weeks, that was after last years rear axle change. I suggest drive very careful for a week or two, and it should correct itself.

It is definitely not the car battery, i had that changed for a new one.

My fob initially stopped working for about a month. then started working again. Then not so long after it packed in once more. I went to a local car accessories/parts shop who like you said, sold me a decent battery. it worked for a couple of weeks, then packed in again. I have tried again changing the batteries, but no such luck. Thank you for the input.

I have been having electrical issues for a few years now, and would like to try and solve them. 1. My clocks sometimes freeze or switch off whilst driving, then start up again. Occasionally, the speedometer will stick at speed, eg, 30mph, so when i am doing 30mph it will show 60mph. 2. My key fob no longer works, so i have to use the key to unlock the drivers door, then put the key in the ignition to switch of the alarm and open the doors. It is not a battery issue, can this be fixed ?
