Make sure all electrical items work. Make sure carpets either front or rear aren't damp as water ingress is common and can't damage the ccm. Make sure gearbox changes are smooth.

Have you tried Audi retrofits or autologics? As members have used them for retrofits and been happy with the results

Glad it's got sorted

I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. Definitely try eBay, car and classic and even Facebook marketplace. But with Facebook marketplace or eBay don't hand over any cash without seeing the car as there's a lot of scams.

Truthfully I've never used the aftermarket ones as I'm only used to ones built in as standard.

You're welcome. Steve raises a good point about the dpf cooler. He's very knowledgeable on the c7 as he ran one for years.

Yep it could be the amplifier. But I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up

Looks good keep us posted how you get on

As it's 10 years old you could start getting additional bills. I'll assume it's diesel and as such the other big bills down the line could be injectors, dpf, egr and turbo.

Glad it's been sorted. Did they say why the heater needed to be changed. The flexy hoses is a worry too. Too old for a courtesy car?! Surely that's a hate crime on age grounds? Against the human rights act 1998 and equality act 2010.

Thanks for coming back to us. Please keep us posted on how you get on 🙂

This is how you change it: 2.5 Renewing bulb for dipped beam head‐ lights Removing – Switch off ignition and take out ignition key. – Turn light switch to position “0”. – Remove appropriate front wheel. – Remove relevant front wheel housing liner ⇒ Rep. gr. 66 . – Loosen locking bolt -1- a few turns. – Release retaining tabs -arrows- and detach housing cover for dipped beam headlights from headlight housing. Audi A8 2003 ➤ Electrical system - Edition 08.2014 132 Rep. gr.94 - Lights, bulbs, switches - exterior But you can take the bumper off and headlight out if you wish. Pictures for reference to show what it looks like behind the wig and bumper etc.

Get it back to the garage you bought it from asap. You have the right to a full refund in the first 30 days of sale. The garage should also fix any issues free of charge in that time frame also.

Hi there, this is for non Audi ones. If you wanted the Audi one hooked up to the mmi then you'll need to get a company like Audi retrofits or autologics to help. Members have used them for retrofits and been happy with the results

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 I'm not aware there should be a cubby.

Corrosion can be problematic and parts are starting to become scarce. On the plus side as you're looking at an 83/84 model it should be tax exempt. Go for it I'd say. You only live once.

Sorry I'd missed that bit.

It's a waiting game I'm afraid as 90s and noughties Audi's are starting to get rare.

I'd recommend looking on eBay, Facebook marketplace and auto trader

No probs at all glad I could help. It certainly is an expensive retrofit

Hi Rob if it's bought within the last 30 days then the dealership fix any issues free of charge. What have you tried so far? It could be a door seal, dropped door due to hinge, window seal, loose door trim

It might need a more sophisticated diagnostic tool from a dealer.

It will be expensive. I'd recommend you speak to Audi retrofits or autologics as members have used them for retrofits and been pleased with the results. Here's a rough cost: https://vagcodingleicester.co.uk/shop/audi-a5-s5-rs5-b9-virtual-cockpit-mib2-pro-retrofit-2016-2019/
