Keep us posted on how you get on

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/

You're most welcome, please keep us posted on how the search goes 🙂
-
Glad you got sorted 🙂
-
Might have to be coded if it's not in the mmi settings.
-
Fantastic news, glad you got it open without causing damage 😊
-
Not seen another of that spec. Shame the ride is so harsh.
-
Definitely a tough one. My poor A6 has now sat nearly 2 years. As I say it's the coding nonsense that's the problem. Gone are the days where you fit any engine you like unfortunately
-
Ultra is top spec 🙂
-
To make this work ideally Yiu need to change the headlights the modules etc and then have it all wired in. An easier option would be to fit so e aftermarket ones and have them wired to a separate switch.
-
Great spec you're looking at and good idea playing safe with a manual gearbox. Check service history of any car you're looking at including when cambelt and water pump were last changed and gearbox last serviced.
-
Glad you're getting it sorted 🙂
-
Sorry to hear about your wife. I still think you've done the right thing of having it done. Better safe than sorry in my opinion.
-
You'd be mad to let it go over 5 years. Just had mine done on my 8 year old ford Kuga which was originally 10 year interval and belt was already cracking badly.
-
Major concern in my opinion. Plus another factor is whilst a petrol/diesel car has fuel the driver is relatively free. Whereas the government can just turn off the car chargers remotely due to smart meters. Same for home energy use eventually
-
Kev does raise a good point. You'll know if it's a sticking caliper as the brakes will feel hotter on the side it's pulling when you stop and turn the car off
