It might be worth you removing the headlight and try and dry it out. Removing it will allow you to fully inspect it for cracks or perished seals etc
-
If it's ex police there might minimal service history as the vehicles are maintained in house. This would support your theory Gareth.

About to buy a Audi S8 D2 360hp 2002 - 100.000 mileage
Steve Q replied to stevensoest's topic in Audi A8 (D2) Forum
Cambelt and water pump change, gearbox oil changes etc. Make sure all electronic items work. Have a look on YouTube for buyers guides. -
My advice would be to look for Audi retro fit companies on Google. Light retro fit for example. Not that ive ever used them.
-
Was the car a taxi at some point? As a lot of taxis have recording equipment fitted.
-
I think it'll be the contacts or actuator. It'll definitely be because of the water.
-
The only thing I can think is start stop reduces the vehicle tax.

Dont believe you're the only one: https://www.audiforums.com/forum/audi-q5-76/audi-q5-rear-window-spontaneously-exploded-213127/ https://www.myaudiq5.com/threads/2016-sq5-rear-window-just-shattered.37562/

If it's a manual that sounds expensive. Even if the duel mass flywheel has to be changed at the same time. If it's auto then it'll be a torque converter or a fault with gearbox itself.
-
I actually haven't heard the term before either. I can only assume it means optional? Why someone would spec start stop though is beyond me
-
Sounds like you might need a replacement stalk.
-
So it does! Hadn't noticed that. But bare in mind the model of hiace you're referring to is still in production 😉
-
Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch ☺️ if you search b7 buyers guide on YouTube you'll fi d a few videos worth watching 👍

I thought I'd done one.
-
They're reasonably priced but they're expensive to maintain. Especially the air suspension
-
What do you think?
-
Definitely doesn't sound small. Removing a dash and replacing a heater matrix would take 3 days.... Confidence definitely lost and rightly so. On the other hand the parts being replaced should last longer then the time you'll probably have it if that makes sense
-
Thanks Trevor, hope you and your family had a great Christmas ☃️ 🎄
-
You know me Trevor, even though an alroad makes sense. I'd have to do it in my a6 for the nostalgia, stupidity, sentimentality etc. That sounds cracking trip. I did do parts of route 66 in a convertible mustang back in 2018 in Nevada & Arizona and it was amazing.
-
This isn't right and I find it worrying a car with that few miles needs a rear diff etc. It makes me wonder whst tyres are fitted and what tread the tyres have as mismatched tyres or uneven tyre wear can damage the quattro system. Also you are entitled to a full day refund up to 30 days after sale.

P2100 appears to be a common problem. Here's a thread on how to fix it: https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/throttle-body-inlet-manifold-flap-p2100-p2101-p2102-error-remedy.244930/

Audi A3 1.8tfsi - Inlet Manifold part number help!
Steve Q replied to The_IMF's topic in Audi A3 (8V) Forum
I find ebay parts finder hit and miss as not all sellers add a part number in their listing. As is the case with the inlet manifold i found. The seller had put the part number in the listing instead -

Thank you,hope you had a good Christmas 🎄⛄ That's probably why it's different because it's from an a5. Doesn't mean it won't work though 😉 I'm assuming the seeker assured you it'll work on your a3? -
Most definitely! Over priced milk floats.
-
It can be normal. If you have service plan then sometimes the batteries are free. There are plenty of videos on YouTube on how to change them.
