Take a look on this thread: I think a lot of your questions will be answered. I'd also recommend watching buyers guides on YouTube.

Have you tried using a German address for on demand to see if you can get the extra features that way?

I can only assume the wipers don't work if the bonnet is open as the wipers must foul on the edge of the bonnet.

The pressure switch you can change yourself. Not worth the risk of doing further damage.

Wipers won't work if the car thinks the bonnet is up. Common on the mk5 golf (electrically same as A3) and it's the bonnet switch on the catch that packs up the best way to test it is to disconnect it at the plug near the top of the rad area left hand side as you look at it with that disconnected it puts then into failsafe then you can use them hope that helps. Alternatively the workers in the back of the fusebox in the engine bay can become loose too.

I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see what fault codes flag up. Usually it's a failed sensor, sensor wiring or module.

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 I do love an E39. The best 5 series in my opinion. My mates dad had one with the full ac Schnitzer bodykit and wheels. Stunning motor it was.

Glad its all resolved 🤞 let's hope it stays that way! My A6 is sentimental so I consider the cost worth it. When I get it done I'm going to get a specialist to do it and move it from off the floor to another location to protect it.

I bet!

This video should help: And here's an example of what you need: https://www.halfords.com/technology/car-audio/stereo-fittings/audi-installation-kit-ctkau01-577715.html?istCompanyId=b8708c57-7a02-4cf6-b2c0-dc36b54a327e&istFeedId=367c5610-f937-4c81-8609-f84582324cd6&istItemId=wirxtppmt&istBid=t&_$ja=tsid:|cid:16710940973|agid:|tid:|crid:|nw:x|rnd:5504221901323466582|dvc:m|adp:|mt:|loc:1006867&gclid=Cj0KCQjwpv2TBhDoARIsALBnVnnhiVPfUOld-jAQbCCwdHmYtec2tlp7b7_fnyREVO_7paGhFpdQ-yYaAn7_EALw_wcB

You're welcome, glad we could help. Fingers crossed its just a battery 🤞

Apologies I'd mis read that. The finance company is still the best bet then if bought on finance. I think the warranty will depend on the dealer franchise won't it? Another option is to contact the motoring ombudsman.

I believe.theres two. I do agree with Gareth that a diagnostic check is a good idea.

You're welcome 🙂 not going to lie, running old Audi's is an expensive business. But in my case it's a labour of love.

No probs at all. You'd be amazed at what electrical gremlins dying batteries can cause. I'd definitely look at getting it changed asap.

I too am looking for older style wheels. But my A6 is older than your Audi. The two sets I'm looking at are £500 and that's for 20 year old refurbed wheels. In my case I'm just looking for some different wheels for shows only.

You've done quite a good amount of work so far. I'd have said MAF sensor so it's good that's coming. I'd recommend a diagnostic check once the MAF is fitted. Could it be a lambda sensor I wonder?

Sounds like you've got a big job ahead. But you've done great so far 🙂

Take a look under the events section 🙂

Sorry my bad, I misread it. I do t think the column needs coding. I'd still advise a diagnostic check. As you disconnected the battery is it worth seeing if the battery is failing due to age. Failing batteries can often throw up unusual faults.

Mine isn't but it's all about being part of the scene. All Audi's are welcome on our club stands 🙂

The steering rack needs to be coded to the car. Have you had the right one fitted? I believe your rack should be a gen 3 due to the cars age. I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see what fault codes flag up.

Can't say I've heard of this issues. What have they tried to do. Have they reset the mmi etc?
