Good point, it's got to be worth a try. I'll write something up and then send it over to customer.services@audi.co.uk and let you know what, if any, response I get.

Sorry for the delay in replying! The easiest solution would be to have Audi replace the panel but this is by far the most expensive solution as the part alone is over £600 - I personally couldn't justify that amount on such a minor cosmetic issue but it is a solution nonetheless. I guess if the...

I can imagine that would have been quite the scare as the warmth slowly increased round you until you realised what was going on :tearsofjoy:

It's good to know I'm not the only one who gets excited about such things!

I haven't quite reached that stage yet, haha! I like having them there as a treat for those times of the year where it's particularly hard to leave bed in the early hours.

I know what you mean but I like to pretend and blame it on the weather as I'm sure the mornings weren't ever this cold (back in my day).

I think everyone above has made good points about GAP insurance but if you're still looking to go down the tracker route, I've had experience (through work - HGV fleet) with a number of tracking systems and can recommend Teletrac Navman as the best I've used. We have a company come in and...

Some very nice motors on here! Here's a couple of my A3 2.0 TDI S-Line: The first two are from the advert where I knew instantly that I'd finally found the right one, the third image shows the only addition that I've made to the car (a Daddy's little girl on board sign!) and the last image is...

Perfect, that's answered it! Not sure if there's a way to mark a post as solved? I appreciate your help everyone, thank you.

That's brilliant, many thanks. I found this... Seemingly no screws involved?

I have those exact removal tools but there aren't any slots on the panel to insert them in to and the gap around the panel seems too tight to force them in. The torx screws mentioned in another post are now looking the most likely method of securing so I'm going to give them a go and hope for...

Found this image on eBay which seems to show the two screws you mention, I think?

Good idea, thank you. I've had a look online but it's hard to check on my phone so I'll have a better look on Tuesday when I'm back behind a PC.

That's definitely sounding like my cheapest option, would you know how to actually remove the panel though please? I've got trim/radio removal tools but am hesitant to go at it blindly as i don't want to damage anything. Thank you.

I've just tried it and either it's too light outside to see properly or the dial isn't working as I could see no difference between the dial set fully one way or the other. I'll try again tonight when it's dark outside and hope there isn't another dashboard piece that needs replacing!

Thank you :icon thumright:

That's useful to know, thanks. I do have a service due soon so I could probably have this work tied in at the same time which might help make the labour cost easier to swallow.

Yeah, when the fault happened I just had the impression the panel wouldn't be serviceable in any way and that a replacement would be the only option so thought I'd get a price to weigh up whether I could live with it or not. When the price quoted from Audi was that high I didn't want to give up...

Thank you for explaining it to me, I understand now. I doubt showing that I purchased it through eBay would be enough then!

That's kind of you to offer, thank you but unfortunately I'm a couple hours from London. It would be greatly appreciated if you could guide me through the removal procedure as I still think the best option will be to fit a second hand panel and then get it coded afterward somehow.
