Key fob/ retracting wing mirrors
That's odd, never heard of that before. You might need a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up and get the key checked.

Bad fuel consumption
Have you had a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up? If you think you've got a fuel leak get this checked at a garage asap. Check fuel rail and injectors.

Exactly. It's their job to fix it. Or demand for your money back.

This is the responsibility of the supplying dealer to sort. You have 30 days for a full refund or for dealer to fix FOC if the vehicle is not up to standard.

Audi A4 1.8T Cabriolet 2004 - Cup Holder (Colour Code 5PR)
We're hearing this a lot from Audi tradition. Apparently it's because the UK isn't in the European union anymore. My advice would be to try eBay. If you're looking for your exact colour code for interior trim this should be on a sticker in the spare wheel well. Or the inside front cover of your service book.

2018 Audi Q7 service intervals
Just to add my 2 pence worth, you're right the engine is chain driven. As such hear out for any chain rattle on start up. Has the quattro system been serviced? Has the gearbox been serviced?

Blind spot monitoring on e-tron GT 2022 model
I'd recommend you speak to autologics or Audi retrofits as members have used them for various retrofits and been happy with the results. Won't be cheap though

Traffic sign recognition
Can't be done using VCDS. As you have a 2019 car you can buy the dongle from Kufatec https://www.kufatec.com/en/coding-di...for-audi-41880. this should work fine most of the time, however from 2021 cars onwards it is no longer offered. I understand that it is possible to activate it with the VCP tool https://vcpsystem.com. There is a lady with the user name sarah1331 on both the VWAudi Forum and the AudiSport Forum who I believe lives in South Yorkshire who has VCP and may be able to help you Alternatively you could speak to autologics or Audi retrofits as members have used them for various retrofits and been happy with the results

Recommendations for replacement alternator.
£1300! That's mad. I suppose a second hand part could be an option too?

Electrical Probs.
I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag. Could it be an imobiliser issue?

End of the road?
So I've had a quote from an engine rebuilder that Steve recommended. Very knowledgeable company and to rebuild my engine will cost around £5,220. That includes: £3,400 for all new internals. Including new Cambelt and water pump. Block and heads the same. £1200 new injectors (my choice) as mine are 21 years old. £590 for a genuine Audi turbo. Total so far is £5,220 I've asked for additional costs of changing thermostat while they're at it. But not had a price for this yet. I'm going to ask them to quote for replacement clutch and duel mass flywheel. If I'm doing it I may as well go the whole hog?!
