Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 sounds a lovely car.

Autologics or audi retrofits might be able to do the work. Members have used them with other retrofits and been happy with their services.

Glad you got sorted, sorry we couldn't provide much help.

Keep the pressure on the warranty company as it's not fixed. Don't forget to labour the inconvenience of not having your car for 3 months. If paid for the car with any form of finance don't forget you can get them on the case stating the car isn't fit for purpose etc. 

Should be there. 

Yep will need coding, this applies to every Audi built after 2007.

If bought from a dealer in the last 30 days get it back to them asap as they should fix it free of charge. 
It may be the reason the previous owner traded it in.  Worse case scenario it's a megatronics unit which is expensive. Is there proof of gearbox oil services? It should have had at least one. 

In theory it can but you'll need all the modules, wiring looms etc from a donor car then it needs to be coded in. 

I'm not sure on your engine but if it's a diesel have a look at darkside developments.

Hey everyone. Just thought I’d share my hunt for slightly pulsing brakes at low speed and a vibration in the seat at 50mph plus. After much searching the internet it lead me to a wheel bearing however I was thinking warped rear discs. I changed the fronts that stopped the steering wheel shake when braking   I thought today I’d just take the wheels and docs off to see if there was anything noticeable and there it was. The hubs between the discs were corroded and pushing the whole lot ever so slightly off straight. Cleans all faces up and now it drives like a dream. Just a free thing to do if anyone is experiencing similar issues. Little before and after pic.

Just buy a replacement airbag/airbag cover as sticking anything on it could become a projectile if the airbag was to go off. 

There's a fellow member on here who has one. It's had various trips to the dealer for numerous recalls. 

You're welcome 🙂

The part number should be on the back of the headlight. It should look similar to this "8V0941773C" 

Have you tried the method in the other thread? 

I think it's clipped on. You might find it's cheaper to replace the whole airbag from a used one from eBay. 

No you should be able to I think. I think it'll depend if it has canbus which was first introduced either in 2003 or 2004. My A6 is pre canbus so it's slightly harder due to the system not being as complex as later ones. But either way a competent mechanic should be able to diagnose it. 

Definitely the best option. As let's face it, the screens got to come out anyway. 

I had a towbar fitted to my ford Kuga daily by buzz towbars. They come to you to fit. Very knowledgeable and highly recommend. 

I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up as it could be a
N issue with the sensor, wiring or module 

Looks a lovely A6. You could aways wrap it instead of painting it. 

I'd recommend getting a second opinion from another garage 

Wheel will physically fit but you'll need the clock spring from the donor car, air bag and wiring. 

The dealer should be able to tell you what service history it's got prior to buying even if they can't physically give it to you until you buy it.
