Unfortunately these older Audi's are no longer supported by Audi. I'm in the same boat so I know how you feel. I'd recommend looking on eBay

When was it changed? Hmm, the only thing I could advise is get it booked in at Audi as their diagnostic machine is more in-depth. Plus they'll be able to do the software update. -
Can't say I've heard of other cases, however this cannot be a wear and tear issue when the components shouldn't break away like that. It's definitely a fire risk.

When was the gearbox oil last changed? Have you had a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up? The gearbox could be due a software update

That's very good value for £180!

Yea it's more straightforward

Audi should be able to supply you with a replacement service book. Or the electronic equivalent nowadays.

Nice one! How'd you do it?

I agree with Gareth. Get the battery checked and a diagnostic check to see what fault codes flag up

I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up as it could be an issue with the heater control unit. However, does the engine get up to temperature ok? As I believe a failing thermostat can cause similar problems.

Usually the last letter is an upgraded and most up to date part. I'd definitely recommend speaking to Audi regarding compatibility

I'd definitely say a worn linkage.

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 Service history is key. Check to see if the Cambelt and water pump has been changed when it should otherwise that'll be a costly bill. Also make sure the auto gearbox has been changed on time too. As degraded oil can affect the gearbox from.sekevting gears. If quattro check the tyres have even tread on each axle as uneven tyre wear can damage the quattro system. Also check the AC works as replacing compressors can be expensive.

Definitely a coincidence. Have they done a diagnostic check, plugging it in to the computer that is? Might be worth getting the car to another garage for a second opinion. To transport the car you could use Shipley, I've used them and can recommend them.
