Might be worth trying a vin decoder. Or ringing an Audi dealer or parts dealer with your vin to see what comes up. Or do a hpi check. I'll admit S line and Le Man's do look similar.

My brother and friends have gone with powerflow exhausts and I'd highly recommend them. You can choose the note you want from the engine as well as the trim tip. I think you get s lifetime warranty too.

My list of jobs before my Germany trip is extensive lol.

Glad I could help and glad you got sorted 🙂

If you have no evidence of the gearbox oil being changed then I'd definitely get this done as old oil can definitely affect the s tronic ability to change gears.

So glad you got sorted 🙂

Nope, definitely not. Also there's different versions of c5 headlights. Allroads had xenon's but they're a wider headlight was the allroad is known as a wider body (s6/rs6 also wide body) compared to narrow body cars. Also facelift and pre-facelift differ too. I've been looking into it myself for my 02 facelift model. But for facelift narrow body cars they're rare. Some final editions has them though.

I'd recommend a diagnostic check. Also worth seeing when the gearbox oil was last changed. It could also be the module.

This should be the Interior Door Card & Trim Panel Clips- Audi 8E0867276 here's a link: https://www.vehicleclips.co.uk/interior-door-card-trim-panel-clips-audi-8e0867276/

Definitely, but to be fair I think all Audi's do that by one way or another!

No don't worry, I should have been more clear. It'll be the new engine that'll I'll be upgrading 😉 I'm doing as many trips etc on the original engine as possible for the kudos of the mileage etc. However, as I'm never getting rid of the A6 I'm already prepping for a replacement 2.5tdi V6. Which I aim to have heavily tuned. I'll be starting with the 180bhp version first though.

My mate jack who's a member on here used this company for his nodded a3: https://viezu.com/ Based in the midlands and he highly recommend them. Planning to use them myself eventually. They get good reviews in trustpilot too.

It could be the ssensor, float in the tank.

I do agree cars are getting too electrically complicated

No probs 🙂 is the phone still supported by Nokia? Could that be the issue?

Unless done recently bid also recommend a full service and gearbox oil change then unless done very recently. What work has it had done since the car hasn't been through Audi servicing. Ie have services been done on time or has the owner just waited for the car to break? I run an old Audi and I try and keep on top of maintenance bas best as possible. Mines over serviced if anything. But even so there's always something that needs doing. Then again my A6 is sentimental and been in the family from new, now 20 years old with 340k. It's got to that mileage with good servicing. It's never missed a service in 20 years. It has at least 1 if not 2 a year depending on my road trip schedule. I then keep a list of jobs that I need to get done. Which is a rolling list.

Love the colour!

Doesn't it need a sim and correct antenna.

Changing the headunit for one with apple car play etc. Or Audi will want £500-£600 roughly for them to enable it.

Sorry you've had a similar issue. You'd think as the motoring ombudsman sided with you, that Audi would just old their hands up and admit they're mistakes.

Regarding windscreen fitting you'll need to speak to autoglass or autowindscreens etc. Alternatively bsoeak to your insurance company to see if they'll cover the change of the windscreen under your insurance.

When was the gearbox oil changed? Could it be a sensor?

Service history is key. When was the Cambelt and water pump last changed. Is it auto or manual? Regardless when was the gearbox oil changed. If auto this is more important. Is it quattro? If so do all the tyres have even tread and are the tyres matching on each axle. As uneven tyre wear can damage the quattro system. When was the Quattro system serviced. Does the AC work and all electronic work as these both can be costly to repair. Has it got xenon headlights. If so do they work ok properly as bulbs and ballasts can be expensive to change. I'm assuming you've done a hpi check and not check on the DVLA website.
