Plus what's the mechanical condition of it? And service history?

Yep. Holed it good and proper! Just annoyed at myself I didn't order the steel undertray I kept saying I'd get.

I guess it depends how much rot it has.

I think you might struggle as don't the AC system have to be worked on by a professional due to the harmful gasses entering the atmosphere

Well crap, there goes the sump 🤦‍♂️ on the plus side at least the car is drained of oil for its service which is due In the next 3 weeks. Plus the underside is well oiled, which should prevent rust for the next 10 years 😂

No probs at all 🙂

Hmm that I don't know

Keep us posted on how you get on 🙂

I agree with Gregg, if it's a metallic rattling sound then it could be a heat shield. It could also be a failed exhaust mount causing the exhaust to bang on the underside of the car.

The A8 will be lovely once fixed. That quattro certainly is a project!!

I agree with Gareth, you need to be speaking to the warranty company asap. As Gareth has suggested it could be something as simple as the expansion tank cap not sealing properly.

Good suggestion Tony.

Where have you tried so far? I'd always look at eBay first.

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 Lovely looking car 👍 I'd recommend speaking to local auto locksmiths. Also there are plenty of shows this year where we're having club displays. You'd be more than welcome to display your Audi with us. Have a look under the events section. First show is 16th April. Simply Audi at beaulieu, it's the best show of the season.

Sounds a bit too long.in my opinion

Slightly more I'd say. I appreciate my A6 and slightly smaller than the current A6 and is old but it does have isofix. I know it would be a tight squeeze in my A6.

Got your work cut out there kev!

Yes I think it could be an ECU issue, but I'm not mechanic

I would say it would be a very tight. Id definitely be looking at an A6 Avant.

That's great bit of advice 😊 thanks for the tip 👍

So it could be the actuator. I'm assuming the dpf and egr weren't blocked.

Could be an issue with the dpf, maf, lambda sensor, egr etc. Odd there's no codes.

Not good

It'll definitely be a future classic. Interior looks like platinum grey which is quite rare. My A6 has the same interior colour.

Keep us posted on how you get on. Could it be another failed sensor I wonder
