You're most welcome. Usually the main dealers keep the best of the used cars, any that don't meet their strict criteria goes off to car super markets etc. So you should have peace of mind in that regard. Speak to Audi about the cambelt/chain. If chain then it should last 100k+ miles. You can ask Audi to change the fuel filter. Have you tried euro car parts or your local motor factors? The benefit of manual is that the gearbox should last the life of the car. Whereas auto gearboxes are more sensitive. I think the manual gearbox oil change interval is approx 60k miles but that's a guestimate. Did Audi give you orbit ours of what other work the cars had like warranty work, brake fluid changes etc.

We've seen a similar incident with an A6 can't remember if it's the previous model ,(c7) or the current model. But the fault was traced back to a loose cable which runs from the battery in the boot and goes under the rear passenger seat and to the front of the car. This had come loose and caused similar symptoms to yours.

That's great to hear Tony. Hopefully the increasing trend in Chinese cars will help European manufacturers to reduce their prices and be more sensible with what they're charging. Before you bought it did you test drive other vehicles? If so how did it compare to others? What's the dealer experience like?

Wowsers, I'm convinced the manufacturers are doing all these things to deliberately cost the customer or write the car off. It's no hidden information the manufacturers make more money from parts and repairs than the car sales. If the governments cared about the environment they would legislate that cars should be simple to repair with the emphasis on manufacturers manufacturers providing parts and vehicle life of 30+ years. We know this won't happen due to greed and corruption.

Looks an interesting project please keep us posted on how you get on. Feel free to sell parts for free under the for sake section. If check out YouTube for inspiration.

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 Don't blame you for rejecting it please keep us posted on how you get on.

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 Did the car come with a service book? What service history did it come with? Brake fluid should be every 2 years. Servicing will be minor and major. So; Minor: oil and oil filter change Major: oil, oil filter, air filter, pollen filter. I wouldn't do a remap untill you know the service history. Have a look on Celtic tuning website as it has a configurator which shows you potential power outputs from their remaps. Here's the service intervals: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10169091-0001.pdf I've also merged your duplicate threads.

Excellent stuff!

Stunning colour! Shes got taste! Dare I ask what the insurance is?

Ha e you tried eBay? I suspect you might have to buy a complete grill.

Furthermore info on this by a Facebook member: Reliability like any engine is down to servicing, but looked after and using good quality service parts they'll go forever. Cambelt and fuel pump belt need doing at the same time using INA belts. If you want it in a C5 (awesome car by the way) get one out of an lt35 as they're longitudinal in them. ANJ or AVR engine codes. 88 or 109 bhp versions. Get the 109 if you can they have the Bosch injectors like acv in a T4. Map well upto 140ish easily and your C5 will go like !Removed! off a shovel! Not sure on engine height though....m

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 Looks a lovely car.

It depends on the wiring looms etc and they'll need coded in. The other thing to bare in mind is the airbags. Trying to change the plugs can cause issues with airbag warning lights. Some members have found it easier to change the original airbags to the new seats. It's probably easier asking a retrofitter what he'd charge.

Good on her! She clearly is a petrol head. I agree with cliff it needs to be eBay including international sellers.

Have you spoken to Audi to see if Theresa software update?

I think there might be an option in the mmi to change the beam.

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 If buying from a dealer I'd recommend tiu try to get this work done by them as part of the deal.

The only way you'll know is by asking Audi for a build sheet or get a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up regarding the mirrors.

Too true!

Genuine audi sport Bluetooth speaker ex display hence why being sold as used. fully working. Sold as seen with no warranty or returns. Collection from Leicester. £25.00 Thanks for viewing

It's definitely worth considering the battery especially if it's old as a failing battery can cause all sorts of electrical issues. If it's not the battery then I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up

I know members have used autologics and Audi retrofits and been happy with the service. So might be worth speaking to them about doing it.

You're welcome, please keep us posted on how you get on 🙂

The dogs hate fireworks. Couldn't make it up lol 🤣 happy new year Kev.

So this is how my 2026 started. Needless to say I can't set off on the right foot because there is a croc of !Removed! 😂 fyi this is no meme!
