Convertible roof
The first thing I'd do is check there's nothing blocking the mechanism. I would argue it's not a motor/pump issue if it's doing the same thing when you do it manually. Cheers Steve

Heater problem
If everything mechanical is working in the engine bay as it should then that would suggest the heat controls have potentially failed. It could be a heater blower motor or heater blower resistor. Also looking at similar threads about this topic on the forum suggest it could be a blocked heater matrix. Hope I've helped. Cheers Steve

Advice needed
Welcome to the forum Emma, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 The 2.0 tfsi engine is prone to excessive oil consumption due to Piston issues. I believe the 1.8 is more reliable. Here's a YouTube video which will help: Cheers Steve

Exhaust
Welcome to the forum Gary, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 My brother and a friend of mine both have had custom powerful exhausts. You can modify both the exhaust note and tailpipe. Not cheap but definitely worth it. Expect to pay £400. Cheers Steve

Auto Dimming Rear View Mirror.
I do not believe the wiring would be there unfortunately. I wouldn't normally put in links to other forums, but this is a retrofit for a b6. https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/retrofit-auto-dimming-rear-view-mirror-ch-lh-picture-heavy.247262/ Needless to say it's not going to be cheap. Cheers Steve

A3 Cabriolet rear lining
Hi Phil, On looking at a previous post on here regarding this issue. Audi technicians advise it has to be glued back into place. Appears to be a common issue. Your local motorfactors will have the correct adhesive. Cheers Steve

Audi A3 2004 maf sensor fault replaced maf sensor
Welcome to the forum Joe, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch. You say the car battery was left to go flat and then youve jump started it. In light of this I'd advise you get the battery checked first before changing other parts. If a battery is not operating at full/proper capacity then it can cause other electrical gremlins a d warning lights to come on etc. Cheers Steve

Immobilizer 1994 Cabriolet
You're welcome 🙂 you might have to get the ECU reset. I know other owners have had to do it. Alternatively speak to an auto electrician to see if there could be something else amiss. You have 2 coolant temperature sensors in your vehicle. One sends its signal to the ECU for proper fuel trim. The other one (which is what you need) sends its reading to 2 places. One place is your gauge, the other place is your radiator fan. Replace it quickly, since failure of one function typically signifies the impending failure of the other. It is part # W0133-1619933 Any number of suppliers have it. Should be around £30-£40 if memory serves correctly. It's hard to see, but your looking for a big brass nut. It's about an inch in diameter, and it's actually a plug that screws into a black pipe coming off the back of your engine. The actual sensor is held in place by that nut and is all one piece. The sensor you need sticks into that pipe and monitors the water temp. cheers Steve
