Any update for us Wayne?

Reliability
There is something I don't understand here. Why, if you bought it three years ago, are you now having to pay another £13000?

One-touch window failure
I suspect the sensors for the window travel are faulty, but I really don't know anything about them. A diagnostic code reader should be able to pinpoint the problem.

Richard. Are you really referring to low coolant pressure warning? I suspect you mean low oil pressure. The 1.4 TFSI engines of that era were notorious for their skinny piston rings causing dramatic losses of oil which would explain the low compression readings and failed sniff test. The only realistic solution is installation of redesigned pistons and rings at great expense. Whether the coolant loss is related I can not say. Your first garage was right to suggest renewing belts and water pump at the same time because they would be due in 10000 miles and would need another engine strip down to install them, so it is cheaper to have the lot done at the same time. In its present condition I doubt that the car is worth more than £1000. Do you love it enough to spend several thousand pounds on it?

Flute whistle from after replacing PCV valve
Very true, but if the lost oil is coming out of the exhaust, either burnt or intact, it could lead to blockages and/or emissions.

Music from memory stick problem.
Perhaps the Audi system does not recognise .mp4 format and you need to use an alternative such as .ogg.

Well it was never going to get better on its own. One or more bushes has perished, as Richard has said, and if it can not be identified you will need to change them all. Comparison with other cars is pointless because you don't know the composition of the rubber or the loads that have been imposed on it.
