You could wait, but current trends show that petrol and diesel cars are holding their values more than they used to as people don't want electric but they'll still depreciate a little. 

Plus once April comes the new reg comes out so it'll reduce in price then in theory. 

Bentley manuals might do one but they're not cheap 

The VIP event might have been a way to try and get older models sold in prep for the new model. 

Please keep us posted on how you get on 🙂

Might be worth speaking to retrofitters such as autologics or Audi retrofits as members have used them in the past and they have been happy with the results. 

Might be able to activate them via vcds or obd11 etc. 

First thing to check is the battery tray housing as the drains in the bottom of the tray can clog with foliage then water gets into the cabin via the bulkhead.  

Other locations could be water getting in via the boot seal near to wear the roof meets the boot. 

I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up 

Keep us posted on how you get on

Very nice 🙂

Can't say I've ever heard of this before. 

As Steve said it could need a software update. Worse case scenario a sensor, camera or module has got damaged. 

Just checked eBay with no success. eBay would be your bet bet and it'll be case of waiting. 

Yep egr and dpfs issues are common. A motorway run once a week can be good. How many miles did you do a year? And what kind of mileage? I'd it's mainly town driving then a petrol might be better. 

That's a great result 😊

I think you buy a replacement SD card that contains the whole program 

Looks a lovely car. 

Gareth is right, I should have added that in my response. 

The wiring breaking is a common occurrence, I'd recommend looking on eBay including international sellers. Alternatively you could try Audi heritage. 

I keep every receipt for any work carried out on my car.

Have you looked at USD items only on eBay or considered international sellers on there?

Afternoon,

New to the forums so first time posting. Recently bought an A5 2019, and generally content with it. I've noticed today that one of the "trims" (for want of a better word) on the front to the right of the number plate, second trim down has come loose at the side. Will the whole row of "trim" need replacing or is it a case that it'll need some kind of resin or adhesive to put it back into place?

Thanks in advance.

Cheapest option would be to glue it back in place. As I'm sure Audi will want to sell you a new grill.
