There's a wee button in the drivers door opening (on the b-pillar) that you can press when getting out of car which I think disables the alarm, mine has one anyhow.
That's quite a list of work and quite a few uncommon issues you've had, but nothing terminal, as has been said before, 1.9 a6's will run to super high mileages but not without cost/work on the way, just stick with it, every wee issue dealt with is one less thing to worry about!
Some say to see if the vibration goes away when depressing the clutch, if vibration goes away suspect dmf. I'm not so sure. My dmf produced intermittent violent shaking when it was failing, particularly when reversing up an incline, then failed completely when I delivered it to an Indy garage to...
Oh I forgot, cam, bearings and followers changed, new clutch/dmf fitted as it failed, so not those for me, fuel temp & coolant sensors both behaving normally on vcds, anyway sorry don't want to hijack thread, just a few ideas!
Ha!, I forgot, mine wasn't the alt pulley either (took belt off and ran engine- still there, as you say though, free test.
I have noticed it's worse at higher ambient temps, have you noticed that at all?
Nope!, but it's not the dmf/clutch, egr, engine mounts, air mass meter or injector wiring loom. Yours could easily be any one of those things though! I'm just living with it while I figure out some other minor issues :)
Maybe check vag-cat or etka, I found neither of my 1.9 of 130 (AWX) hydro engine mounts had the fancy solenoid valve thing. Plus there's about a million different part numbers for them!
Replacing 1 worn out leaky didn't cure my idle vibration either...
