This is very odd.

Glad you got sorted 🙂
-
Please do 🙂

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 air suspension problems are well documented and can be costly to repair
-
Could be or would it be an ECU issue?
-
Unfortunately manufacturers haven't seemed to grasp how to calculate the usage etc. which is daft twhen they've been able to do with with petrol/diesel tanks for decades. On some manufacturers it's based on how many times the fuel filler flap is opened. It'll need a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up
-
When was the gearbox oil last changed? Id recommend getting it in to be inspected
-
Common problem on vag cars is that the sensor doesn't reset. You'll need to get a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. Quite a lot of threads in tis already.

A useless heap of junk due to lack of spare parts avalible

I looked at this, a good mechanical engine that can run on veg oil etc is the land rover 200tdi. The problem with Audi's is that they're fwd longitudinal and finding similar modern drivetrains is hard to come by. As most fwd vehicles are transverse. The annoying thing with cars now is that they're deliberately over engineered so they can't be repaired by a home mechanic. -
I think they come as a complete vent.

Keep us posted on how you get on 🙂

Exactly. I had to translate it in Google and it's had a full refresh. I've asked if they ship to the UK. Not heard back yet but it's the weekend. To show the comparison in price, they have a used aym versions with 87k miles and its €300 less.

When was the gearbox repair carried out?

Glad you've had a great result 😊 -
There's been a lot of cars not receiving the kit they should have had. Have you spoke to the supplying dealer about this? As it's been not sold as stated.

Thanks Steve, think I'm looking at the last of the line bau version. I've found this refurbished one in Germany, and I've messaged them with a few questions regarding the turbo etc. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/325748688740?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=e8AMuhJ3R76&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=IE07kO4STZy&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=WHATS_APP

Think you'll need to put it in service mode to do it properly
-
Please could you supply a picture of the led, that way we can tell if it's aftermarket or not.

I feel your pain, as it's the same situation with Audi's from the 90s/noughties like my A6. I agree it's due to the wef agenda. Eu looking at banning garages from doing major repairs to old cars like engine changes/rebuilds etc so they can get them off the road. I need a replacement engine in my A6 and think I've finally found a way to get another one fitted. But long term the only way old cars will remain in the road is to use engines etc from cars with huge parts supplies like Chevy ls motors for example. -
Any fault codes?
-
I'd recommend seeing if it needs a software update and speak to Audi.
-
Speaking from someone owning a similar aged A6 it's electrical gremlins and issues with imobilisers. My engine has gone bang, and trying to get the car back on the road is proving a nightmare. Engines and engine parts are getting in short supply etc.
-
Let's not forget we also had a pandemic in 2020 which shut most of Europe.
-
I'd recommend you get a second opinion.
